A sweeping deportation program, ending “transgender lunacy,” “drill, baby, drill,” and peace for Ukraine: President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to move big and fast when he returns to the White House on Monday.
Here is a look at his sensational but frequently vague promises for a second term — much of them likely to be enacted through executive orders.

Trump promises a hardline stance against an estimated 11 million undocumented migrants in the United States.
“When I am reelected, we will begin… the largest deportation operation in American history,” the Republican billionaire said on the campaign trail.
He also vowed to end birthright citizenship, calling it “ridiculous.”
To achieve those goals, Trump is weighing declaring a national emergency, which would allow him to unlock Pentagon resources.
Analysts also expect him to issue executive orders on other aspects of immigration policy, including possibly to terminate an app used by migrants hoping to petition for asylum.
However, birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the US Constitution, and any deportation program will face legal challenges as well as potential refusals by some countries to accept deportees.বিস্তারিত
