The article from ABC News discusses former President Donald Trump's plans for a potential second term, focusing on his intentions to use executive actions extensively. Trump has expressed intentions to enact policies through executive orders, bypassing Congress where possible, to implement his agenda swiftly. Key points include his plans to address immigration by potentially reinstating and expanding travel bans, altering birthright citizenship, and implementing large-scale deportations. Additionally, Trump aims to undo many of the Biden administration's policies, particularly those related to climate change, education, and social issues. He has also hinted at using the Department of Justice to target political opponents, raising concerns about the politicization of federal agencies. This approach reflects Trump's strategy to consolidate power and push through his conservative agenda with minimal legislative interference.
