Donald Trump made a notable statement about his leadership style saying he wouldnt be a dictator - with one exception. “except for Day 1“ he specified which raised eye-brows across political circles
His day-one agenda includes far-reaching changes: a wide-scale removal of migrants from the country; canceling current White-House education rules (which he thinks hurt schools); and re-shaping federal agencies through staff changes. The ex-president believes many govʼt workers are working against his interests
The former presidents plans also focus on legal matters - specifically about the events from early-21 when protests hit the Capitol building. He wants to give pardons to people who got arrested that day: this decision would affect hundreds of cases
except for Day 1
His first-day checklist includes:
- Mass-scale migrant deportations
- Ending Biden-era education policies
- Firing federal workers he sees as opposition
- Pardoning Jan 6 participants
The whole plan shows how Trump wants to use executive powers right from the start - making big changes in different areas of government at once
