Buckle up: this is what Donald Trump will do, starting on Day One of his presidency

Donald Trump will begin his US presidency with a flurry of executive orders on illegal immigration, the environment and ethics as he works quickly to try to make good on campaign promises and dismantle his predecessor’s legacy.

But he will leave the bulk of his significant actions until Monday — the first full business day following his inauguration Friday — as he kicks off a week in which he is expected to confer with Republican lawmakers, swear in new Cabinet secretaries and talk with foreign leaders.

“I’d say to America, ‘Buckle your seat belt.’ This is going to be a very quick start out of the gate,” said Repreentative Chris Collins, a member of Trump’s transition team. “It’s going to be fast-paced. Mr Trump is not someone to dilly-dally.”

Staff from his legislative and policy teams, as well as his counsellor’s office, were meeting this week to determine which issues to introduce Friday and next week, transition spokesman Sean Spicer said.

Trump made many grandiose promises during the campaign of what he wanted to accomplish immediately upon taking office.
