Former President Donald Trump has laid out an extensive To-Do list, promising bold and controversial actions starting from "Day 1" should he reclaim the White House. His plans span deportations, policy reversals, and federal government restructuring, raising significant questions about implementation and feasibility.
Trump's agenda includes the immediate firing of federal employees he deems antagonistic, rolling back Biden-era policies, and imposing tariffs on goods, particularly from China. He also intends to pardon January 6 Capitol rioters and halt federal protections for transgender students, marking a significant policy shift.
Further, Trump aims to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict swiftly and escalate energy production through aggressive drilling. Political analysts remain skeptical about his capacity to actualize these plans within his proposed timeline, considering legislative and logistical hurdles.
