    This all looks like a pretty big reveal. Not that I didn’t expect it:

    Trump will declare a national emergency on the U.S.-Mexico border, allowing him to secure additional Pentagon funding and deploy military forces. He is also expected to build more infrastructure at the border and relaunch the Remain in Mexico program, which requires non-Mexican asylum seekers to await their U.S. court dates in Mexico.

    Government reform is also a top priority for Trump, with executive orders expected to cover Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency, DEI in the private sector, and the Schedule F category that eliminates job protections for federal workers.

    Trump is also expected to halt spending on the Green New Deal and other climate-related projects from the Biden administration, declare a national emergency related to energy, open up offshore drilling, and target regulations around electric vehicles.
