Donald Trump is ready to begin taking executive actions on his first day in the White House on Friday to move quickly on his pledge to crack down on immigration, build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border and roll back policies of outgoing President Barack Obama.
Trump, a Republican elected on Nov. 8, arrived in Washington on Thursday with his family to kick of a weekend of festivities and spoke to a gathering of members of his incoming administration.
After being sworn in during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol on Friday, Trump is poised to wield one of the most powerful tools of his office, the presidential pen, for executive actions that can be implemented without the input of Congress.

Goodbye Shitface. Hello Trump!
Trump is poised to wield one of the most powerful tools of his office, the presidential pen, for executive actions that can be implemented without the input of Congress will undo the overeach of power carried out by his predecessor.
day one, get rid of all the mexicans. Day two, turn UN building into strip mall. Day three end Fed, put members in jail. etc etc
B.O. lived by EO...
I wonder if there is an OBAMA EO giving himself the power to issue executive orders when he is out of office? /s
Yep, somehow Rooters Fake News and Propaganda manages to miss that little fact.
Some other Rooters g horse manure for you to deconstruct:
Obama, a Democrat ending eight years as president, was also quick to use his executive authority when he took office, creating an ethics code for his appointees and banning the use of waterboarding, a simulated drowning, for interrogating suspects detained in terrorism cases.
He made frequent use of his executive powers during his second term in office, when the Republican-controlled Congress stymied his efforts to overhaul immigration and environmental laws. Many of those actions are now ripe targets for Trump to reverse.
Have fun!
A new dawn in America.
Obama never thought that a Republican would ever wield that pen. He and Harry Reid had apparently swallowed the “Emerging Democrat Majority” bullcrap.
Or whatever time the actual oath is completed.
I hope so!
Trump is poised to wield one of the most powerful tools of his office, the presidential pen...

And he has a phone. AND he has a TWEET.
If Obozo used twitter like Trump the media would be fawning.
So, last week when I said I met with Team Trump at Trump Tower, this was one of the things we discussed. The rollout was supposed to be even bigger. There was a difference of opinion in Team Trump between those who wanted “shock and awe” and a massive “cancel everything” move, and those who favored a “drip, drip, drip.”
I liked the former, but the rationale for holding off on some was the cabinet appointees. It was thought that being too provocative before they were in place might kill a couple of nominations.
Everything I get from Team Trump is that they want to be MORE aggressive, and are holding back in certain areas only to ensure that no one can stop them once they get started.
Makes sense until Cabinet is confirmed.
After all we have a few GOP Senators that would any excuse to vote
against some of Trumps nominee’s.
We all know who those senators are.
I’m all for being aggressive.
Yes drip, drip, drip for now. Chucky Cheese Schumer attempting to press the brakes in the Senate.
