After four years of President Joseph R. Biden’s left-leaning administration, America is poised for a new chapter, one marked by optimism and the promise of returning to a glorious, golden age. On January 20th, Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. With an ambitious agenda ahead, President Trump is determined to make America great again.

I strongly believe that the 47th presidency will mark a departure from the policies of the 45th president, largely due to Trump’s outsider status in Washington. From day one, the Washington establishment opposed him, but this time he is more prepared, having learned from past experiences. His cabinet selections will reflect loyalty to his agenda, and he will continue to champion the MAGA movement. Furthermore, he achieved both the popular vote and the electoral vote—a rare feat for a Republican candidate, last accomplished by George W. Bush in 2004. Following a near-assassination attempt, Trump has adopted a more unifying posture, seeking to bring the country together for a brighter future.
Here are some key decisions that President Trump is expected to take on his first day in office:

Unleashing America's Energy Potential
President Trump plans to reverse many of President Biden’s green energy policies and prioritize cheaper, domestic energy sources. Lower energy costs will positively impact every sector of the economy, leading to reduced prices for essential goods like groceries and gasoline. This will also help make green energy more feasible in the long run.

The "Drill, Baby, Drill" Mantra
Trump campaigned on the promise of increasing domestic energy production, and he will follow through by taking executive actions to boost oil production. These include overturning Biden's ban on offshore drilling in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and reopening drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He also plans to create a National Energy Council, led by former North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, to ensure the U.S. becomes energy dominant.

Immigration Reform
President Trump has made immigration a top priority. His plans include:
•    Stopping Illegal Crossings: Reinforcing border security and deporting illegal immigrants, particularly those involved in criminal activities.
•    Reviving Title 42: This emergency health law, used during the pandemic, allowed for the quick expulsion of asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump intends to reinstate it, following Biden’s termination of the policy in 2023.
•    Border Wall Construction: Trump will continue the construction of the border wall, a signature policy from his first term. Around 452 miles of barriers were built, but much more work remains.
•    Empowering Local Law Enforcement: The Trump administration will expand the use of the 287(g) program, which allows local law enforcement to assist with immigration enforcement.
•    Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA): Trump has expressed a willingness to find a legislative solution to protect Dreamers, immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, acknowledging their success and contributions to society.

Transgender Rights
Trump has promised to take immediate action on transgender issues, including:
•    Ending "Transgender Lunacy": He has vowed to sign executive orders recognizing only two genders (male and female) and to end policies allowing transgender individuals in the military and public schools.
•    Transgender Women in Sports: Trump supports banning transgender women and girls from participating in women’s sports, although this may require legislative action to pass.

Legislative Goals
With both chambers of Congress under Republican control, President Trump aims to achieve significant legislative victories, including:
•    Making the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Permanent: Trump wants to ensure the tax cuts introduced during his first term remain in place, benefiting households across various income brackets.
•    No Tax on Social Security Benefits: Trump has promised to stop taxing Social Security benefits, which will be particularly beneficial to senior citizens. Higher-income earners, particularly those with annual incomes between $63,000 and $200,000, will see the most significant benefits.
•    Eliminating the SALT Deduction Cap: The cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions, currently set at $10,000, disproportionately affects individuals in high-tax states, many of which are governed by Democrats. Trump’s plan would remove this cap, benefiting those in higher-tax areas, although the cost of this policy could range from $10 billion to $100 billion annually.

Final Thoughts
President Trump’s second term will be marked by bold action on energy, immigration, social issues, and taxes. His approach aims to restore American greatness by putting the interests of the people first, reducing burdens on businesses and families, and addressing issues that have been neglected during the previous administration.
