Exploring what the early days of a second Trump administration could look like.

Donald Trump expressed his regard for the support he received, claiming, "America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate... We have taken back control of the Senate." He underscored his intention to fulfill campaign promises, emphasizing, "I will govern by a simple motto: Promises made, promises kept. We're going to keep our promises." This statement sets the tone for his approach as he returns to office, highlighting a focus on immigration, security, and education.

Describing his vision for safety, Trump stated the need for "mass deportations and closing the border." He also introduced potential appointments, singling out Elon Musk for a notable role in government, claiming Musk will contribute significantly, while also indicating that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be part of the administration. Trump mentioned, "And now he's a great guy, and he really means it. He wants to do some things, and we're gonna let him go to it."
