Monday, January 20, Special Trump is once again the President of the United States. In order to realize the slogan of "MAGA (Make America Great Again)", dozens of presidential decrees have been signed since the first day of taking office, striving to fulfill commitments such as introducing globally unified tariffs and forcibly deporting illegal immigrants. This will be closely watched by all parties. .
According to foreign media analysis, if the second day of taking office is included, Trump is expected to sign about 100 presidential orders. Only President Truman had more than 100 signatures in his first year in office. If Trump actually signs it, that number will be surpassed, and at least the number of signatures on the first day will be the highest since World War II.

Countries are paying more attention to tariff-related measures. Trump said he would sign a presidential order imposing 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico on his first day in office because of illegal immigration and illegal drug smuggling.
It is possible that the economy will be declared in a "state of emergency" due to the influx of illegal immigrants, and tariffs will be increased on this basis. If tariffs were to be raised based on a declaration of a state of emergency, it would be the first time since President Richard Nixon.
Strong measures will also be taken on the issue of illegal immigration. In every speech, Trump promises to "initiate the largest forced deportation in history on the first day of his administration" and is expected to issue a presidential order to combat illegal immigration. The use of U.S. troops is also brought into view.
There are believed to be 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, and it is very likely that at least several million people will become targets of forced deportation.
Major US media reported on January 17 that starting from the second day after taking office, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will implement large-scale forced deportation operations in Chicago. Chicago is known as one of the sanctuary cities that is tolerant of illegal immigrants.
Where the pendulum appears to be swinging sharply in the opposite direction compared to the Biden years is in energy and the environment. Trump has repeatedly criticized the current strict fuel efficiency standards since the election, arguing that this is a de facto "pure electric vehicle (EV) mandate." Fuel efficiency standards will be significantly relaxed.
Trump will once again withdraw from the Paris Agreement, which he withdrew from during the first term and which Biden returned to. Facing the automobile and energy industries, it will show its attitude of placing more emphasis on business expansion than environmental protection.
As a measure to accompany the easing of restrictions, breaking down bureaucracy will also become a focus of the second Trump term. Trump has long made it clear that he will sign a presidential order allowing large-scale firings of officials on his first day in office.
Trump will reinstate the end-of-first-term visaThe Presidential Decree of the Department of Reconciliation replaced important bureaucratic positions with newly created appointment quotas called "Schedule F". Positions under "Plan F" will not be covered by civil service employment protection.
There are media reports that Trump will include the following core contents:
1. Sign an executive order to declare an energy emergency
2. Sign an agreement on A memorandum on inflation, envisioning a "comprehensive response" to inflation
3. Establishing an efficiency department
4. Reinstating the death penalty in the field of public security
5. No Specific oil price target
6. Sign an executive order to terminate the federal DEI profile
