Trump prepares for aggressive push of Day 1 executive actions

A stack of executive actions will be awaiting the new president’s signature as soon as he is sworn in.

The flurry of actions on his first day will herald the arrival of a new regime.

The moves will amount to a thrilling fulfillment of the populist, anti-immigrant themes of his campaign.

Trump is making plans to sign some of the executive actions before retiring to the celebratory Senate lunch, advisers said.

The president-elect is planning a signing ceremony in the Oval Office after the parade has been moved indoors due to the weather.

The new administration is finalizing an aggressive slate of orders that will be released only hours after the president is sworn in.

The breadth of Trump ’s planned actions will almost certainly stop short of the dizzying array of actions he promised as a candidate to take on his first day in office.

But advisers have been working to craft the approach, meeting last week to discuss how to proceed.

Instituting smaller tariffs that gradually increase is one option that garnered support.
