Former President Donald Trump will return to the White House after projected to win the presidential race, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris.

During Trump’s third campaign for president, he laid out many of the things he would do on his first day back in office.

Here’s what Trump said he would do on Day 1:

Be a dictator for today

Trump sounded new alarms last year when he called himself a “dictator,” but only on “Day 1” during a town hall in Iowa.

When asked by Fox News host Sean Hannity if he promised he would “never abuse power in retaliation against anyone,” Trump replied: “Except on Day 1.”

When asked what he meant by that, Trump said, “I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill.”

“We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling,” Trump said. “After that, I’m not a dictator.”

Fire the special prosecutor who indicted him

If he returns to the White House, Trump has promised to fire Jack Smith, the special counsel who brought two federal cases against him, “in two seconds.”

“We have been given immunity in the Supreme Court. It’s so easy. I’d fire him in two seconds. He will be one of the first things addressed,” Trump said during a phone call to the “Hugh Hewitt Show” on Oct. 24.

Trump has also said he would punish the prosecutors and judges overseeing his multiple criminal cases as he focuses his third presidential campaign on retaliation.

Vice President Kamala Harris addressed this during her presidential campaign, saying at a rally this week that if she were elected, “Trump would walk into that office on Day 1 with a list of enemies. If I am elected, I will walk in with a to-do list, on your behalf.”

Release some convicted January 6 rioters

Trump has said one of his first acts if elected to a second term would be to “release” several people convicted for their roles in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, among whom he remains claiming they are ‘wrongfully imprisoned’.

“I’m inclined to pardon many of them. I can’t say for each one individually because a few of them have probably gotten out of hand,” he said on his social media platform in March when announcing the pledge.

Trump has repeatedly downplayed the violence that followed that day, calling the defendants “J6 hostages” and calling for their release.

According to the Justice Department, more than 1,530 people were criminally charged in connection with January 6 as of early October, with more than half pleading guilty. According to the DOJ, there were “approximately 1,000” assaults on police officers during the January 6 riot.

End the ‘Green New Deal Atrocities’

Trump said in a campaign video last year that he would end the “Green New Deal atrocities on Day 1” if re-elected.

The Green New Deal — a public policy initiative to address climate change launched by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey — was never signed into law, although Trump has used the term to generally refer to climate of the Biden administration. and energy policies, such as the historic Inflation Reduction Act.

“To further beat inflation, my plan will end the Green New Deal, which I call the Green New Scam. Probably the biggest scam in history,” Trump said during a speech to the Economic Club of New York in September. “(We will) withdraw all unspent funds under the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act.”

At a rally in New Jersey in May, Trump pledged to shut down offshore wind projects “on day 1” if he were elected.

“I’m going to write it down in an executive order. It ends on Day 1,” Trump said, claiming that wind turbines “kill” whales, which was later denied by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

During this campaign he also revived his slogan “drill, baby, drill”.

Trump has said his motivation behind withdrawing from climate initiatives and pushing for continued dependence on oil and gas is driven by economic needs.

Although the U.S. has taken steps toward a clean energy future during President Joe Biden’s term, it has continued to produce and export the most crude oil of any country at any time, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Mass deportations

With immigration a top issue for voters, Trump has said he is committed to rounding up and deporting millions of migrants living in the US without legal permission. He reiterated a campaign promise to carry out mass deportations on “Day 1” during his rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City last weekend.

“On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out,” he said. “I will save every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these cruel and bloodthirsty criminals in prison and then kick them out of our country as quickly as possible.”

To do this, the former president said he would use local law enforcement and the National Guard to find migrants in the US

Trump has railed against the Biden administration’s immigration policies, claiming in part that it has made America less safe, even though statistics show that US-born citizens are more than twice as likely to be arrested for violent crimes than immigrants without papers.

An estimated 11 million people live in this country without legal immigration status.

If feasible, the cost of deporting even 1 million undocumented immigrants per year would cost more than $88 billion, for a total of $967.9 billion over more than a decade, according to a new report from the American Immigration Council .

Green cards for graduates

Trump deviated from his usual anti-immigrant rhetoric when he advocated “automatically” giving green cards to non-citizens in the U.S. when they graduate — not just to people who go through the screening process — during an episode of the “All In” podcast released in June.

“(What) I want to do, and what I’m going to do, is for you to graduate from a university. I think you should get, automatically as part of your degree, a green card to be able to stay in this country. That includes junior colleges too,” Trump said in the episode, which was recorded Wednesday.

“Anyone who graduates from a university, you go there for two or four years. If you graduate or get a doctorate from a university, you should be able to stay in this country,” he continued.

When Trump was asked on the podcast if he would expand H-1B work visas for tech workers after he fixes the border, he said “yes.”

“Someone graduates at the top of the class and can’t even make a deal with the company because they don’t think they can stay in the country. That ends on Day 1.” Trump said.

“It’s so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT, from the best schools,” he added.
