'Shock and Awe': Trump's 100 Executive Orders 'On Day One' Promises Chaos, and Huge Changes
PJ Media ^ | 01/18/2025 | Rick Moran

Posted on 01/18/2025 7:40:42 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Trump aides are calling it "Shock and Awe." There will be 100 executive orders (EO) and other executive actions starting Monday, Jan. 20.

Indeed, most executive actions aren't going to "shock" a lot of people. Trump has talked about all of them in the campaign and during his years in exile since his defeat in 2020. The scope of some of the EOs is broader than some on the left have been predicting, and narrower than some on the right were hoping for.

The audacious nature of the 100 EOs masks the probability that almost all of them will be challenged in federal court. Even if the challenges are eventually unsuccessful, some of the executive orders will be picked apart or canceled altogether.

The EOs that have garnered the most interest and that have been the target of a hysterical scare campaign on the left are the orders relating to illegal aliens. In fact, the first actions taken by Customs and Border Protection (CPB) will be to pick up illegal aliens who have committed felonies.

“That’s the low-hanging fruit," said Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford. “People that recently crossed, people that were legally present and committed other crimes, people that the court has ordered them removed — that’s well over a million people. Start working through that process.”

In the meantime, Trump is going to reinstitute the most effective guard against illegal immigration in history: Title 42. The measure was adopted during the pandemic as a public health rule, but Trump is planning to stretch the definition to cover the current border crisis. This will set offer howls of outrage among open borders advocates and will be challenged in court.

Trump has several other actions planned to secure the border.

Now this is going to be interesting ....

From the New York Sun:

Trump could also move to allow use of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which would authorize some state and local law enforcement to aid Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, Axios has reported.

On another front, Trump has vowed to issue an executive order to strip away birthright citizenship, which ensures children born to parents who do not have legal status in America are American citizens. That will likely set up a clash over the 14th Amendment that could wind up at the Supreme Court.

It is rank stupidity and an insult to the reader to quote turncoat Lankford about immigration.

Some “shock and awe” is needed to shake-up the sleepy system which is unnecessary costly for the tax payer.
Deep down I think that many regular Democrats want a true change - one way or the other.

Trump is saving America and consequently the whole Western civilization with it - just in time, at the 11th hour.

This coming Monday - 20th of January - will never be forgotten in the history of man kind.

I think he’s going to name the illegals ‘enemy combatants’ and skirt the immigration laws by using national guard and military to round them up.

Dems and RINOs will fight like snared bobcats.

The administration will have to stay agile, leaping from closed doors to open doors.

Trump: All those long stressful days sitting in the courtroom with hostile judges, under a gag order, then being kept off ballots as a felon, then fighting off the Dem nominee followed by a tag team 2nd nominee and called every dirty name in the book by the leftist media. Having to dodge traps at interviews and make speeches with hours of travel time between cities. Then getting shot at and hit in the ear and under the stress of another shooter getting me in his sites at the next golf hole. Knowing my life is in danger as I fight for America.

So I’ve decided to take a week off for a vacation after the swearing in.

Pasting this here from another thread, hoping for some input from people who might know.

Earlier last week, I looked up what branch the IRS falls into, and it’s the executive branch.
Might President Trump EO the elimination of taxes on SS , tips and overtime?

Trump is going to deport the low hanging fruit - criminals.

That will take until the Mid-Term Election in 2026.

In January 2027, Trump will announce his "Really Hard Path To Citizenship Amnesty" for every illegal still in the USA.

Why do you think ChuckU got 235 (or whatever the number was) “Federal Judges” confirmed? It’s the new Lawfare Army.
