President Donald Trump is hitting the ground running, wasting no time to get America back on the common-sense track. On his first day back in office, he is set to sign 25 major executive orders, with over 200 additional orders expected in the coming weeks.
Trump, who is scheduled to take the oath of office inside the Capitol at noon, intends to sign several of the orders in front of a crowd at an event in Capital One Arena in Washington later in the afternoon. The inauguration-related events were moved to indoor locales because of inclement weather in the nation’s capital.

The first wave of Trump’s executive orders, some of which may be rolled out later in the week, are expected to include a mix of campaign trail promises, reversals of outgoing President Joe Biden’s policies and a restructuring of the federal workforce.
According to the source, the President is expected to sign a number of executive orders shortly after being sworn in Monday, in hopes of showcasing his commitment to swiftly enacting policy changes he promised on the campaign trail, people familiar with the matter said.
Stephen Miller, Trump’s incoming White House deputy chief of staff for policy, briefed congressional Republican leaders Sunday on the broad contours of what Trump is expected to sign, including sweeping changes related to the southern border, energy and the federal government workforce, said two people familiar with the call, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the information had not been announced publicly.
Lawmakers are expected to have received a list of the orders before Monday.
The most highly anticipated action for many in Trump’s MAGA political base is an order declaring a national emergency on the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a broader effort to crack down on illegal immigration and other cross-border crimes.
“You’re going to see executive orders that are going to make [you] extremely happy, lots of them. … We have to set our country on the proper course,” Trump said Sunday at a rally at Capital One Arena. “By the time the sun sets tomorrow evening, the invasion of our borders will have come to a halt, and all the illegal border trespassers will in some form or another, be on their way back home.”
These actions reflect his commitment to restoring national security, economic growth, and conservative values. Let’s break down the top 25 executive orders that will have an immediate impact.
