TODAY marks Donald Trump’s first day in his second term as President of the United States.

The President elect has vowed to “make heads spin” by signing some 200 executive orders – mere hours after reentering the Oval Office.

“Starting tomorrow, I will act with historic speed of strength and fix every single crisis facing our country,” he said last night.

“Every radical, foolish executive order of the Biden administration will be repealed within hours of when I take the oath of office. You’re gonna have a lot of fun watching television.

“Somebody said yesterday, don’t sign so many in one day, let’s do it over a period of weeks. I said, like hell … no, we’re doing them tomorrow.”

After he is sworn in at the inauguration ceremony, he’ll be granted the full powers that come with the position, leaving him free to sign directives on issues including illegal immigration, gender debates, Artificial Intelligence and cryptocurrency.

Executive orders can be overturned by the courts – or the next president – but do carry legal weight in the US.

Trump suggested a huge chunk of these would relate to immigration and border control – a key theme of his first term and election campaign.

He vowed: “The invasion of our borders will come to a halt.”

Trump also promised to become the US president behind the most deportations during his second term.

He may reinstate his “Remain in Mexico” policy which saw some 70,000 non-Mexican asylum seekers sent across the southern US border to await their hearings.

He has also vowed to scrap the law that means anyone born on US soil is an American citizen – although, protected by the constitution, this can’t be removed with just an executive order.

Trump may also try to finish building a border wall between Mexico and the US, a plan he first put into action back in 2016.

The MAGA leader is also expected to prescribe drug cartels as “foreign terrorist organisations”, placing them alongside groups like Al Qaeda, ISIS and Hamas.

His friendship with tech tycoon Elon Musk has grown alongside his efforts to champion cryptocurrency.

Some expect him to create a federal “Bitcoin stockpile” – similar to the US’ gold and oil reserves – which he has claimed would be a “permanent national asset to benefit all Americans”.

Trump last night promised to uncover a slew of classified documents on the assassination of President John F Kennedy, as well as Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King.

He is also expected to overturn President Biden’s climate policies – including on the regulation of pollution or green job efforts – including a possible ban on new wind projects or electric vehicle mandates.

And he is expected to once again pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement, which he did in 2017, before Biden rejoined in 2021.

Presidents also have the power to pardon criminals – with Trump saying he is “inclined to pardon many” of those involved in the January 6 Capitol riot.
