This is my continuing series looking at the possibilities from the new Trump administration…..
We have heard what he will do on day one, and the list is massive, but what about those first 100 days that all president aim for when they enter into the sacred seat of power?
President-elect Donald Trump and his allies have already articulated ambitious plans for his first 100 days in office.
He has promised on Day 1 — within the first few hours in fact — to close the U.S. border with Mexico and launch the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.
Trump has promised to gut President Biden’s climate subsidies and resume energy exploration, including offering tax breaks to oil, gas and coal producers.
“We’re going to drill, baby, drill,” Trump said in late October at his rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City. “And I will terminate the ‘green new scam’ and will cut your energy prices in half, 50%, within one year from Jan. 20.”
Trump’s main goal is to unwind Biden’s policies and resume where he left off after his first term in office.
It’s not going to be easy.
While presidents have broad powers over immigration, for example, there are real operational, legal and political challenges to carrying out mass deportations.
Groups like the American Immigration Council estimate it would cost billions of dollars for Trump to implement his deportation plan. It could also have a dramatic impact on the economy if industries such as construction, hospitality and agriculture lose masses of workers.
There is also a resource challenge. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement already must pick and choose where to focus its limited resources.
Carrying out mass deportation would require a massive increase in manpower to arrest and deport millions of people a year.

It will be interesting to see how he goes about his agenda….but first the House count should be over and that will determine some of the ways he will approach these problems.
This is all speculation for he has not become president yet only president-elect….for now.
Any thoughts?

“lego ergo scribo”
The president elect who is not president yet is coming into the center ring of the circus complete with a 900-page detailed plan on how to reshape the government and he is, right now, even as I type, scrambling and appointing people to positions of high authority… many of whom have no experience at all in government —and he has long had an operative shadow government in place to bolster his plans– a shadow government comprised of judges at all levels, governors, city administrators, county and state officials sworn to obey him …..so the first few days of his administration is going to be a shit storm of change and there are no longer any checks and balances to impede anything he wants to do ….so yes, he is going to get it done.
When the UK left the EU, tens of thousands of foreign (legal) workers went home rather than face the prospect of staying in the UK without full rights to work and remain. That has had a huge effect on employment in farming, factories, food production generally, and most jobs that employ unskilled people on minimum wage. Now those employers cannot get British people to do those jobs, and supply chains are really struggling. If Trump starts deporting both illegal and semi-legal foreign-born workers, the same thing will happen in the USA on a much bigger scale.
Best wishes, Pete.
I agree and the prices of stuff will go up and up especially with his stupid tariffs. chuq
