• Trump has promised to do a variety of different things on "Day One" of his second term.
  • Much of his agenda will take time to implement, but there are things he could start immediately.
  • That includes executive orders and firing government officials.

Over the past two years of President-elect Donald Trump's third presidential campaign, he frequently promised to enact certain promises on "day one" of his new administration.

"​​Many things will be done on day one," Trump said at a town hall with Tucker Carlson in Phoenix in late October. "Your head will spin when you see what's going to happen."

Some aspects of Trump's agenda, particularly his promises to eliminate taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits, will require Congress to act.

But much of his signature promises can be set into motion via executive orders, which he will be able to issue as soon as he enters office. He will also be able to issue pardons and fire government officials as early as day one.
