Trump Plans to Sign Nearly 100 Executive Orders During First Days in Office
As Donald Trump prepares to take office once again on January 20, he is setting ambitious plans to quickly implement changes through executive actions. Reports from Senate Republicans suggest that Trump intends to sign about 100 executive orders shortly after his inauguration.
During a meeting with Senate Republicans, Trump highlighted key issues he plans to address right away, including border security and energy independence. Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma said, "He mentioned the number 100—there could be roughly 100 executive orders. I believe him." Senator Kevin Cramer from North Dakota echoed this sentiment.
Trump’s strategy appears focused on reversing many policies implemented by the previous administration. One significant priority is to lift the restrictions on new oil and gas drilling along the U.S. coast, which he has described as "ridiculous." This move aims to restore energy policies that promote domestic production and job creation.
Sources within the Senate suggest that Trump has also shared previews of some executive orders, with particular emphasis on immigration reform. Stephen Miller, who is expected to play a role in the new administration, discussed how they plan to use executive authority to tackle these pressing issues right from day one.
Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota confirmed that "there will be a substantial number" of executive orders ready once Trump resumes his presidency. This swift action could reaffirm Trump’s commitment to a conservative agenda and ensure alignment with GOP leaders who are eager to support his initiatives.
House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana and Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota have both expressed their intent to collaborate closely with Trump to advance his legislative goals.
In a recent statement on Truth Social, Trump criticized the current administration’s policies, expressing confidence that his initiatives, once reinstated, would restore "Common Sense and Strength" to the nation.
As Trump readies his plans, both he and GOP lawmakers are poised to work together to outline a powerful legislative agenda, aiming for early successes to benefit the country.
