Stephen Miller Reveals Day One Executive Orders for Trump
As I am writing this report, Donald Trump is being sworn into office.
He will have his luncheon, then he will head to the White House to get down to business.
Top aide Stephen Miller has revealed the first group of executive orders that Trump will sign as soon as he gets back behind the Resolute Desk.
Get That Pen
Trump is expected to sign at least 10 executive orders as soon as he settles in at the White House.
Five of those orders are going to be related to the southern border.
Trump is then expected to sign three orders on energy policy, which will, among other things, attempt to reverse the recent order by Joe Biden to greenlight Arctic drilling.
The final two orders will cover government workplaces, including DEI policies and other gender-related orders that were written by Biden.
I want everyone to temper their expectations on these orders because the energy and border orders are likely to be challenged.
I think some of Trump’s border orders will be able to go through, but activist groups are going to fight Trump’s deportation orders, so this is going to take some time to play out in the courts.
Trump will also be challenged on trying to reverse the orders put in place by Biden declaring certain waters off-limits to new drilling projects.
I believe this will be the more frustrating area for Trump, as Biden’s orders are protected by existing legislation which has been challenged during the first Trump administration.
Biden has put numerous blockades in place to stop Trump from pushing the GOP agenda, so we are going to see quite a few cases started within the next few days.
As I have stated in other reports regarding immigration, if Trump manages to get two to three million people deported, I would consider it a success. I can guarantee you there is no way he will be able to send the eight million or so migrants who crossed the border under Biden back over the border to Mexico.
Having said that, let’s give Trump a chance here and see what he can deliver as well as what Republicans are able to push through Congress.
With all the nonsense that Democrats pulled over the last four years, the playbook is wide open for Trump, including using reconciliation to ram through policies that Dems would never accept.
It’s definitely not how I would prefer to govern, but Dems opened this door, so we might as well walk right through it.
