The echoes of President Donald Trump's inauguration speech still were reverberating in the Capitol Rotunda when he released a list of priorities, of which the first is to "Make America Safe Again."

The extent of his plans is unlikely to miss very many portions of American life.

"President Trump will take bold action to secure our border and protect American communities. This includes ending Biden's catch-and-release policies, reinstating Remain in Mexico, building the wall, ending asylum for illegal border crossers, cracking down on criminal sanctuaries, and enhancing vetting and screening of aliens," the White House said.

"President Trump's deportation operation will address the record border crossings of criminal aliens under the prior administration," the strategy explained. "The president is suspending refugee resettlement, after communities were forced to house large and unsustainable populations of migrants, straining community safety and resources."

Further, "The Armed Forces, including the National Guard, will engage in border security, which is national security, and will be deployed to the border to assist existing law enforcement personnel."

Mexico drug cartels also were put on notice, as they, including the "dangerous Tren de Aragua" criminals from Venezuela, are being designated "foreign terrorist organizations." Trump is to use the Alien Enemies Act to remove them.

And the Department of Justice now will be seeking "the death penalty as the appropriate punishment for heinous crimes against humanity, including those who kill law enforcement officers and illegal migrants who maim and murder Americans."

Trump's second point is to "Make American affordable and energy dominant again."

Many of these agenda points likely will be addressed by executive orders first, with congressional action to follow if needed in some situations.

"The president will unleash American energy by ending Biden's policies of climate extremism, streamlining permitting, and reviewing for rescission all regulations that impose undue burdens on energy production and use, including mining and processing of non-fuel minerals," the White House announced. "President Trump's energy actions empower consumer choice in vehicles, showerheads, toilets, washing machines, lightbulbs and dishwashers."

The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration had, in fact, pursue a wild disarray of limits on ordinary appliances, such as gas stoves, in pursuit of their green ideology.

"President Trump will declare an energy emergency and use all necessary resources to build critical infrastructure. President Trump's energy policies will end leasing to massive wind farms that degrade our natural landscapes and fail to serve American energy consumers. President Trump will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord," the outline said. "All agencies will take emergency measures to reduce the cost of living. President Trump will announce the America First Trade Policy. America will no longer be beholden to foreign organizations for our national tax policy, which punishes American businesses."

Third is to "Drain the swamp."

"The president will usher a Golden Age for America by reforming and improving the government bureaucracy to work for the American people. He will freeze bureaucrat hiring except in essential areas to end the onslaught of useless and overpaid DEI activists buried into the federal workforce. He will pause burdensome and radical regulations not yet in effect that Biden announced," the plan confirmed.

"President Trump is announcing an unprecedented slate of executive orders for rescission. President Trump is planning for improved accountability of government bureaucrats. The American people deserve the highest-quality service from people who love our country. The president will also return federal workers to work, as only 6% of employees currently work in person. President Trump is taking swift action to end the weaponization of government against political rivals and ordering all document retention as required by law. President Trump is also ending the unconstitutional censorship by the federal government. No longer will government employees pick and require the erasure of entirely true speech. On the president's direction, the State Department will have an America-First foreign policy."

Further, the statement addressed "American values."

"The president will establish male and female as biological reality and protect women from radical gender ideology."

And, "American landmarks will be named to appropriately honor our nation's history."
