Day one of Trump’s second presidency is officially in the record books.
As expected, Trump supporters had favorable reactions.
And in addition to making good on many of his campaign promises within his first 24 hours, he hit the ground running with a few surprises within his executive orders.
And the stock market loved it…so far.
Among those surprises it was interesting to note:
- As expected, Trump signed executive orders to end birthright citizenship, pardoned over 1,500 January 6 protestors, and instituted a hiring freeze on non-military Federal workers.
- NYC mayor Eric Adams and Joe Rogan made surprise appearances at the inauguration. And Michelle Obama was nowhere to be seen, marking the second high profile event she has missed since skipping Jimmy Carter’s funeral.
- Dementia Joe’s last official acts in office were issuing numerous pardons that caught the market by surprise. (READ: O’Biden’s Final Act of Corruption…HERE).
- Vivek Ramaswamy is out at DOGE…supposedly over “personality conflicts” and his desire to run for Governor of Ohio.
- $Trump coin… Trump’s officially-sanctioned meme coin hit a $70b valuation before the launch of a second coin, $MELANIA, just two days later spooked the market and caused both coins to plunge.
- On day one, Trump announced that he would impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico on February 1.
- After the election, many pundits insisted that Trump’s tariff talk was Art of the Deal on steroids – an opening gambit in renegotiating trade deals. Part of this was his recent announcement of an “External Revenue Service” to raise money from foreign trade partners, which is looking more likely by the day.
Indeed, Trump’s External Revenue Service sounds more appealing than our current Internal Revenue Service.
Day One of Trump
And within an hour of President Trump’s inauguration on Monday, it was clear that America’s open borders status quo had ended.
Prospective illegal migrants in Mexico got the news that they would no longer be transported into America’s interior and given cash and other assistance, ostensibly while waiting for a hearing to adjudicate their fake asylum claims.
President Trump had ordered that tap to be shut off.
Thank God!
Among the multitude of Executive Orders signed by Trump on day one, Liberals are having fits over Trump declaring the recognition of only two genders: Male and Female.
Going one step further, rumor has it there will be new definitions for words that are guaranteed to drive Liberals wild with rage, like:
And speaking of driving Liberals crazy, Day One of Trump 2.0 also showcased how Liberals try to twist everything and anything they can against Trump.
Things should get more interesting as battle lines are being drawn within the District of Caligula.

Share this with a friend…especially if they think America is getting back on track after Day One of Trump 2.0. They’ll thank YOU later.
