Former President Donald Trump is expected to return to the White House after he was expected to win the presidential race and defeat Vice President Kamala Harris.

During Trump’s third presidential campaign, he laid out many of the things he would do on his first day back in office.

Here’s what Trump said on day one:

Be a dictator for a day

Trump raised alarms again last year when he described himself as a “dictator,” but only on “Day 1” during a town hall meeting in Iowa.

Asked by Fox News host Sean Hannity if he promised he would “never abuse power in retaliation against anyone,” Trump replied, “Except for day one.”

Asked what he meant by that, Trump said: “I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill.”

“We’re closing the border and drilling, drilling, drilling,” Trump said. “After this, I will no longer be a dictator.”

Fire the special prosecutor who indicted him

If he returns to the White House, Trump has vowed to fire Jack Smith, the special counsel who brought two federal cases against him, “in two seconds.”

“We got immunity from the Supreme Court. It’s that simple. I would fire him in two seconds. He will be one of the first to be approached,” Trump said in an Oct. 24 call to “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”

Trump has also said he will punish the prosecutors and judges overseeing his many criminal cases as he has focused his third presidential campaign on retaliation.

Vice President Kamala Harris has made this clear during her presidential campaign, saying at a rally this week that if elected, Trump would come into office with a list of enemies on day one. If elected, I will go in with a to-do list, on your behalf.

Release of some convicted January 6 rioters

Trump has said that one of his first acts if elected to a second term would be to “free” some people who were convicted of their role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and who he continues to condemn claims they are “wrongfully imprisoned.”

“I tend to forgive a lot of them. I can’t say for every single one because some of them are probably out of control,” he said on his social media platform in March when he announced the pledge.

Trump has repeatedly downplayed the violence that erupted that day, calling the defendants the “J6 hostages” and calling for their release.

According to the Justice Department, as of early October, more than 1,530 people had been criminally charged in federal court in connection with Jan. 6, with more than half pleading guilty. According to the Justice Department, there were “approximately 1,000” attacks on police officers during the Jan. 6 riots.

End the atrocities of the Green New Deal

Trump said in a campaign video last year that if re-elected, he would end the “day one atrocities of the Green New Deal.”

The Green New Deal – a policy initiative to combat climate change proposed by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey – was never enacted, although Trump has used the term to refer to the climate more broadly Biden administration’s reference and energy policy, such as the groundbreaking Inflation Reduction Act.

“To further combat inflation, I will end the Green New Deal, which I call the Green New Scam. “Probably the biggest fraud in history,” Trump said during his speech at the Economic Club of New York in September. “(We will) withdraw all unspent funds pursuant to the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act.”

During a rally in New Jersey in May, Trump promised to stop offshore wind energy projects “on day one” if he won.

“I will put it in an executive order. It will end on day one,” Trump said, claiming that wind turbines were “killing” whales, which was later denied by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

During this campaign he also revived his slogan “Drill, Baby, Drill”.

Trump said his motivation for withdrawing from climate initiatives and calling for continued reliance on oil and gas was driven by economic needs.

While the U.S. has taken steps toward a clean energy future during President Joe Biden’s term, it has continued to produce and export the most crude oil of any country, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Mass deportations

With immigration a top issue for voters, Trump has said he is committed to detaining and deporting millions of migrants living in the United States without legal permission. During his rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City last weekend, he reiterated his campaign promise to carry out mass deportations on “Day 1.”

“On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out,” he said. “I will save every town and village that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in prison and then drive them out of our land as quickly as possible.”

To accomplish this, the former president said he would use local law enforcement and the National Guard to find migrants living anywhere in the United States

Trump has railed against the Biden administration’s immigration policies, claiming in part that they have made America less safe, even though statistics show that U.S.-born citizens are more than twice as likely to be arrested for violent crimes as undocumented immigrants.

An estimated 11 million people live in this country without legal immigration status.

According to a new report from the American Immigration Council, the cost of deporting even 1 million undocumented immigrants per year, if feasible, would be over $88 billion, for a total of $967.9 billion over a period of corresponds to more than 10 years.

Green cards for college graduates

Trump deviated from his usual anti-immigrant rhetoric when, on an episode of “All In,” he advocated “automatically” giving green cards to non-citizens in the U.S. when they graduate from college – not just people who do Go through the verification process. Podcast released in June.

“(What) I want to do and what I will do is for you to get a college degree. I think you should automatically get a green card as part of your diploma to stay in this country. “That goes for junior colleges too,” Trump said in the episode recorded Wednesday.

“Everyone who graduates from college stays there for two or four years. If you graduate or get your doctorate from a college, you should be able to stay in this country,” he continued.

When asked on the podcast whether he would expand H-1B work visas for technicians after the border is fixed, Trump said “yes.”

“Someone who graduates at the top of their class can’t even make a deal with the company because they don’t think they can stay in the country. “This will end on day one,” Trump said.

“It’s so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT and the top schools,” he added.
