Trump Vows End To Border ‘Invasion,’ Sign Slew Of Executive Orders On Day 1

“The American people have given us their trust, and in return, we’re going to give them the best first day, the biggest first week, and the most extraordinary first 100 days of any presidency in American history,” Trump said.

President-elect Donald Trump vowed to sign a sweeping slate of executive orders in the first hours of his presidency Monday, including ones aimed at closing access to the southern border and delaying a ban on TikTok.

“By the time the sun sets tomorrow evening, the invasion of our borders will have come to a halt,” Trump said at a victory rally Sunday at Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, D.C., on the eve of his second inauguration.

“The American people have given us their trust, and in return, we’re going to give them the best first day, the biggest first week, and the most extraordinary first 100 days of any presidency in American history,” Trump said, teasing the massive number of executive actions expected Monday.

The president-elect is expected to sign an order that clears the way for TikTok to operate in the U.S. despite a law that went into effect over the weekend barring the Chinese-owned social media app from being used in the states unless its owners divest. Trump suggested the app could exist here longterm so long as the U.S. government assumes a major financial stake alongside an American company.

“I’ll approve, but let the United States of America own 50% of TikTok,” Trump said. “I’m approving on behalf of the United States, and they’ll have a lot of bidders, and the United States will do what we call ... [a] joint venture, and there’s no risk. We’re not putting up any money. All we’re doing is giving them the approval without which they don’t have anything.”
