Begin a large-scale deportation operation
Ban transgender women from competing in women’s sports
Terminate Biden’s “open border” policies
Enact a national ban on gender-affirming surgeries for minors

students

Impose tariffs on imported goods, particularly those from China
Education
Cut federal funding for schools teaching “critical race theory” and
“transgender issues”
End funding for schools with vaccine or mask mandates (requires
congressional approval)
Reshaping the federal government
Firing potentially thousands of federal employees to rid the government
of “corrupt bureaucrats”
Crackdown on government officials who leak to reporters
Judicial
Pardons for those who were arrested for their role in the January 6
insurrection at the Capitol
Fire Jack Smith, the special counsel who has been prosecuting two federal
cases against him
Energy
Repeal what he describes as Biden’s “electric vehicle mandate”

* Many of these promises would face legal, logistical, and legislative hurdles. However, some executive orders from Biden’s term could
be swiftly rescinded as Trump has pledged to reverse policies tied to immigration, energy, and social issues through executive actions.
