President-elect Donald Trump pledged an unprecedented start to his administration during a Victory Rally in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, outlining an ambitious plan for his first week in office. Trump vowed to issue a wave of executive orders and implement sweeping reforms, promising to make voters “extremely happy.”
“You’re going to see executive orders that will set our country on the right course,” Trump said. “By the time the sun sets tomorrow, the invasion of our borders will have stopped, and illegal border trespassers will be on their way home.”
Reports indicate Trump plans to sign more than 200 executive actions on his first day in office. These include repealing what he called “radical and foolish” executive orders from the Biden administration and making classified documents related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. publicly available.
Trump also announced plans to begin constructing the “Great Iron Dome missile defense shield” and launch the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, surpassing efforts under President Dwight Eisenhower. He pledged to tackle inflation by unleashing domestic energy resources and streamlining regulations for large-scale energy projects.
In his rally, Trump promised swift action to address natural disaster recovery in North Carolina and hinted at potential clemency for January 6 protesters, stating they would be “very, very happy.”
“This will be the biggest first week and most extraordinary first 100 days of any presidency,” Trump declared, highlighting his “all-star cabinet” of leaders.
The rally featured notable supporters, including musicians Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood, UFC CEO Dana White, tech billionaire Elon Musk, and actor Jon Voight. Voight praised Trump as “the greatest of all time,” expressing confidence in his leadership to “make America great again.”
Trump criticized outgoing President Joe Biden for taking credit for a recent ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. According to Trump, his incoming administration played a pivotal role in negotiations, facilitated by his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff in talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As Trump wrapped up his speech, he reaffirmed his commitment to the “America First” agenda. “It all starts tomorrow,” he said. “We will be sworn in together, and together, we will make America great again.”
