Hours before he was sworn into office, Donald Trump promised to sign a number of executive orders on his first day as president as he celebrated a successful convention.

Trump addressed a crowd of thousands in Washington DC on the evening of his inauguration, giving an overview of the next four years and celebrating his victory over the Democrats.

Republicans have promised to take action on a number of issues, using their newfound presidential powers to start deportations and reduce environmental regulations.

“I will act quickly and forcefully in history and fix every problem that our country is facing,” he promised the crowd.

“You’re going to have a lot of fun watching television tomorrow,” he told the crowd at the “Make America Great Again Victory Rally.” “Every ambitious and ridiculous order by the Biden administration will be rescinded within hours of taking the oath of office.”

Trump promised the main rules which will develop artificial intelligence, creativity Department of Public Works (DOGE), provide documents related to the assassination of former presidents, direct the military to create a protective shield of Iron Dome weapons and remove the concept of diversity, justice and inclusion (DEI) from the military.

Media reports suggest that Trump may offer more than that 200 major actions Monday, which is different from the general rule.

Executive orders are approved by the courts, legally binding and published in the Federal Register. They may be overthrown by future leaders.

Executive actions, however, are more weighty and not subject to legal scrutiny. They serve as a “wish list” of policies the president hopes to achieve, political columnist Tom Murse writes.

“You’re going to see some great legislation that will really interest you,” he told the crowd. “We need to set our country on the right path.”

Many of these major laws are expected to be pushed through the courts.

Trump too he promised to sign A major action that will crack down on illegal immigration by launching what it says is the largest deportation operation in history.

Experts say Trump’s promise to deport millions of refugees will face a major setback operational difficultiesand may cost billions of dollars.

Trump also promised to crack down on crime in America’s cities, end left-leaning policies in government and take on American sports rivals.

He bragged about his support for reforming TikTok after it was briefly banned over the weekend and a deal to end the war in the Middle East.

A cease-fire agreement was reached in the past few days under the leadership of Biden.

Trump said his inauguration on Monday would end what he called “four years of American decline” and usher in “a new day of American strength, prosperity and pride”.

He said the people who committed the violence on January 6 are hostages and promised that everyone would be “happy” with his decision to pardon the accused.

The meeting was held at the Capital One Arena in downtown Washington DC, which has a capacity of approximately 20,000 people.

It started with a performance by Kid Rock and featured speeches by TV personality Megyn Kelly, actor Jon Voight and senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller.

Grammy-winning country singer Lee Greenwood also sang ‘God Bless the USA’, which has become the Trump campaign anthem.

Greenwood – a close friend and business partner of the president-elect has attended events for 10 presidents, twice for Trump, including his 2016 inauguration.

“Including God first in the message of the song, I believe that has had a greater impact on this president than any president before,” he told the BBC World Service’s Newshour programme.

Elon Musk also spoke briefly after Trump announced the creation of DOGE, an advisory body called the Department of Government Efficiency that Musk is expected to run with Vivek Ramaswamy.

Trump family also joined him on stage, including Donald Trump Jr., Eric and Lara Trump.

Trump supporters – wearing red Make America Great Again hats and other pro-Trump clothing – flooded the nation’s capital this week despite freezing temperatures and snow on Sunday.

The bad weather it led to the opening ceremony being moved, which led to a smaller and smaller ceremony. Trump will be sworn into office in the Rotunda of the US Capitol on Monday.

Franklin Graham – son of famed evangelist Billy Graham – will deliver the invocation at Monday’s opening ceremony.

“I think President Trump is a very different person than he was in 2017,” he told BBC Radio 4 on Sunday. “I think God has strengthened him and he’s come through this very powerful man and he’s going to be a better president for all the challenges he’s gone through.”

At the time of official openingTrump and Vice President-elect JD Vance both recited the oath of office with their hand on the Bible.

Trump will then give his inaugural address where he will outline his plans for the next four years. The theme of his speech will be unity, strength and ‘justice’.
