What can Trump do in His First 100 Days

• Donald Trump is elected to be the President of the United States in the 2024 election

• Trump has many policies to put into action once he officially reaches office

As I’ve been watching many Americans and interestingly, people spectating the US internationally, watch Trump’s presidency, there seems to be a commonly conspired question: What can or will Donald Trump do in his first 100 days as the president of the United States of America?

Even though he hasn’t specifically stated, to my knowledge, that he is going to directly implement Project 2025, he has acknowledged his favor towards some of the initiative’s policies, as well as electing the people who are planning to implement it. While this is the worst-case scenario and, at the moment, hypothetical, there are some other choices that he has publicly endorsed and if he can find a way, pursue.

So what has he declared that he will actually do? I made a list of all of the possibilities. These include deportation, abolishing his personal criminal cases, excusing criminal claims against participants of January 6, border tariffs, tax cuts (contradicting the last point), education (specifically undoing the strides made by the Biden administration), and mass unemployment. Now this is a big and in my personal opinion, a monumental amount of claims that means a lot for America.

Deportations

First and most feared for immigrants and up to 2nd generation Americans (maybe more), Trump’s mass deportations. As he has confirmed on Truth Social, he is prepared and planning on declaring a national emergency and utilizing military assistance to complete mass deportations. Just a reminder that this is planned to affect 11 million people. My mom is an immigrant from Kuwait but is currently a citizen. My dad was born in New York but his parents and my mom’s parents (all of my grandparents) were born in Pakistan. I was born in the US and am a birth citizen but I fear that myself, my family, and definitely my friends, are at risk of being one of those 11 million people. I smack my face at the irony of the Truth Social user claiming, “GOOD NEWS”. And while this would seem like a dystopian worst-case, it gets even more worrisome. There’s a threat that the people affected will go to “detention camps,” sound a little bit familiar? To make matters worse, this is a day-one goal.

Criminal Cases

At the time of this article, it is fairly new news that Trump’s criminal cases involving January 6 have been dropped by Jack Smith. January 6 was a day of hate when President-Elect Donald Trump sent his supporters to raid the US Capitol in protest of the 2020 election results. Previously, Trump was being charged for this offense, as the active participants in the riot were already (mostly) arrested. Now, Trump is being freed of these claims and once elected, will work to free those of his followers convicted because of the event. This is severely disheartening but as bad as it is to say, not the most out of our concerns, considering the other policies Trump has threatened his country with.

Tax

This section covers two issues: border tariffs and tax cuts. Also at the time of writing this, it’d have been one day since we found out about Trump’s plan to put a 25% tariff on the Canadian and Mexican borders. This is a politically and economically dull proposition and will harm major imports for America and more personally, our relationships with our neighboring countries. Now, for the reason many people voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, tax cuts. What many of his supporters fail to notice is that the inflation from the 2020-2024 term was worldwide and not exclusively to Prediant Biden’s doing. Oblivious to that fact, they voted for Trump in hopes of the economy going back to the way it was in 2016, an impossible feat, mind you. Keep notice that Vice President Harris also proposed ideas to help the economy and taxes during her campaign in a more practical manner. However, she was not in charge in 2016 and that makes all the difference.

Education

Speaking of efforts made by the Biden/Harris administration, Trump holds goals to eliminate ways the 2020-2024 President has bettered education with what many of his supporters believe to be the “liberal agenda.” The most concerning portion of his plan is to completely eliminate the Department of Education fully, advancing his anti-tax initiative, but at what cost? There is a lack of organization to keep in mind if this does go through, as well as many other issues. I think it’s fair to assume that this has something to do with Biden’s acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community in the American public school environment, which will be completely undone by the sentiment of homo/transphobia.

Unemployment

My final point is the number of government workers potentially unemployed by Donald Trump in the near future due to his soon-to-be presidency. This can happen for a multitude of reasons, some being because of his hopeful economic policies, some being affected by the mass deportations, people working in certain aspects of the education department, and people who were employed due to the Biden administration. This last point is more personal to me and I’ll go more into depth about what that entails. I know someone who holds a high-profile job with the government who was employed because of the CHIPS and Science Act. This was an act put into place by President Biden. It is in Trump’s best interest to abolish this act and its “consequences.” Because of this, many people who hold a job because of this act and other efforts made by the Biden/Harris administration face the threat of unemployment along with so many other Americans.
