Trump will be inaugurated as the nation’s 47th president on January 20, and reports indicate that he plans to arrive at the Oval Office armed with over 100 executive orders dealing with border and energy security. He met with Republican senators Wednesday and talked about his plans, and some of the participants are revealing what he said.
During a Thursday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends” Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., said that Trump indicated that there are almost 100 executive orders to address issues like border security and U.S. energy.
“He threw that out — 100 — there could be like 100 EOs, yeah. I believe him,” Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., noted to The Hill.
Senators were provided previews regarding some of what they were informed would be 100 executive orders, two sources noted to Axios. Stephen Miller, who Trump has tapped to serve in his new administration, discussed plans for using executive authority to tackle border and immigration beginning day one, the outlet reported.
In a social media post Monday, Trump indicated that he will “terminate” many of President Biden’s orders:
Biden is doing everything possible to make the TRANSITION as difficult as as possible, from Lawfare such as has never been seen before, to costly and ridiculous Executive Orders on the Green New Scam and other money wasting Hoaxes. Fear not, these “Orders” will all be terminated…

Fear not, these “Orders” will all be terminated shortly, and we will become a Nation of Common Sense and Strength. MAGA!!!
Course reversal: Trump Vows to ‘Immediately’ Overturn Biden Drilling Ban – but It May Not Be That Easy
Trump’s incoming Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller detailed some of the immigration measures the president-elect planned to enact, and said that the idea that the military can’t be involved in our border security is outdated.
“We’re putting in motion a set of executive orders on Day One for President Trump that will represent the most comprehensive border security plan in American history,” says incoming Deputy Chief of Staff @StephenM.

You know, we’re putting in motion a set of executive orders on day one for President Trump they’ll represent the most comprehensive border security plan in American history. Nothing like this has ever been done before. It is the most robust, sweeping, far reaching set of executive actions and authorities necessitated by this national emergency that anyone has ever contemplated, and when that is put into place, it will, once and for all, restore American sovereignty, and will also restore the idea that the defense department has a fundamental role, has a core role in securing the homeland from foreign invasion.
We’re not going to accept anymore that the defense department secures the borders of every country but our own. We are going to use the defense department to secure the border of our country.
As Biden continues to throw down roadblocks to thwart Trump’s agenda, the president-elect has clearly been busy. Day one is going to be lit, and liberal heads are going to explode.
I for one am here for it.
