A “record” number on the first day.. This is how Trump will begin his second presidential term

Donald Trump promised Saturday that he would sign a “record” number of presidential decrees immediately after he was sworn in on Monday in Washington.
In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump, who will become the 47th president of the United States, said he does not have an exact number in mind, but he expects to sign a “record” number of decrees starting Monday afternoon.
When an NBC News journalist asked him, “More than a hundred?”, the Republican president replied, “At least within these limits.”
He had pledged during his election campaign and since his election to undo the policies of the Joe Biden administration.
Trump had previously said in one of his election rallies that “as soon as I take the oath, I will launch the largest deportation program in the history of America.”
Trump confirmed on Saturday that the expulsion of illegal immigrants – who number about 11 million people in the United States – “will begin very quickly.”
He added, “I cannot say in which cities, because things change,” after an official in his future administration spoke about the city of Chicago, which has a Democratic majority.
“There will be measures all over the country. Chicago is just one place among others,” Tom Homan, the former director of the Immigration and Border Control Agency who will be in charge of border protection, said on Fox News.

Move the ceremony

Trump also announced on Friday that he had decided not to hold his inauguration ceremony outside the Capitol building, as tradition requires, due to the polar cold that will sweep the country’s capital on Monday.
The swearing-in ceremony will be held inside the Capitol building, for the first time in 40 years.
Trump justified this by saying, “I think we made the right decision. The forecast weather looks bad, good, and cold, and I think that would have posed a danger to many people.”
