Donald Trump outlined his plans for his first day back in office, making it clear that pardons for those involved in the January 6th Capitol riot will be among his top priorities.
“We have to end it. It’s ridiculous”, he stated during his first major broadcast interview with NBC’s Meet the Press since his election victory in November.
The president-elect shared his concerns about the harsh conditions faced by those detained after the riot, calling their detention facilities “filthy” and “disgusting”. Trump intends to look into individual cases quickly, promising to take action on his first day in office.
Changes to Immigration Policies and Birthright Citizenship with Trump
Trump also outlined significant changes to U.S. immigration policy. One of his main goals is to end birthright citizenship, which automatically grants U.S. citizenship to anyone born on American soil. He argued that the 14th Amendment should be revised to stop this practice, signaling a push for legal reform.
Additionally, Trump reiterated his commitment to deporting undocumented immigrants, including those with U.S. citizen family members, aiming to prevent family separations. However, he also signaled a willingness to work with Democrats on finding a solution for Dreamers, those brought to the U.S. as children under the DACA program.
Executive Orders on Immigration, Economy, and More
In the wide-ranging interview, Trump also promised to sign a series of executive orders addressing issues like immigration, the economy, and energy policies. He indicated that he would move swiftly to implement changes, including pursuing actions that could reshape the direction of U.S. foreign policy and trade. Trump’s first day is expected to set the tone for his administration’s approach to these critical issues.
While he downplayed the possibility of investigations into his political opponents, Trump did express frustration with the Democratic-led committee that investigated the Capitol riot. He suggested that members of this committee should face jail time. Despite these comments, Trump emphasized that his focus will remain on improving the country and moving forward, not looking back at past conflicts.
In conclusion, Trump’s return to the White House promises to bring swift changes, particularly in immigration and executive orders. His focus on immediate action and potential pardons indicates a hardline approach to key issues, likely to shape his presidency in bold and controversial ways.
