Things are heating up in the Beltway as President-elect Donald Trump gears up to take action on his first day back in the Oval Office. The incoming press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, isn’t holding back, confidently declaring that the 45th president is already rolling up his sleeves and making moves to benefit the American people. According to her, Trump is set to dive right into fulfilling his campaign promises, and not a moment too soon.
Leavitt emphasized that Trump will wield his trusty pen like a sword, aiming to slice through the chaos left behind by the previous administration. Her list of Trump’s ambitions includes securing the southern border, fast-tracking energy projects like fracking and drilling, and taking a firm stand against what she referred to as “transgender insanity.” It’s clear that the new administration is ready to tackle what many conservatives see as the excesses of liberal policy.

As for immediate actions concerning immigration, Ms. Leavitt hinted at revisiting Title 42, a tool that allowed the U.S. to turn away migrants during the COVID-19 pandemic—an initiative that has seen more twists than a political soap opera. Thanks to Biden’s reluctance, Title 42 was dragged into the light anew with a triumphant return expected under Trump. Leavitt proclaimed the former president’s approach would likely lead to legal maneuvers that promise to stem the tide of migrants flooding the border.
Not stopping at simply managing the border, Trump’s administration is aiming for a blockbuster—what could be the largest mass deportation of illegal criminals in U.S. history. Leavitt detailed a game plan that involves empowering law enforcement at all levels to identify, detain, and deport criminal illegals. While the left might clutch their pearls at the idea, conservatives are likely to cheer the tough stance against those perceived as abusing the nation’s tolerance.
In the latest installment of Trump’s appointment series, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is set to head the Department of Homeland Security, pending Senate confirmation. Along with her, Tom Homan—former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement—is stepping into the role of “border czar,” tasked with the formidable job of overseeing deportations. Stephen Miller, known for his hardline approach to immigration during Trump’s first term, will be right by his side, serving as deputy chief of staff for policy.
For those keeping score, it’s clear that Trump’s new administration is ready to take a hard swing at leftist policies and restore order at the border. With the approach focusing on immediate impacts and steep penalties for illegal activities, the American people can expect a swift return to conservative principles that support law and order over chaos. With their eyes on the Oval Office, conservatives are bracing for what promises to be an eventful first week back in the political arena.
