Trump has vowed to be a 'dictator' on day one. With that day approaching, what exactly will he do?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Trump also, in a surprise to immigration activists, said he would also "automatically" give non-citizens in the country permanent residency when they graduate from college.
54% : He initially pledged to immediately close the border with Mexico and expand drilling for fossil fuels.
44% : It should be noted, however, there definitely is one area where Trump has never wavered: trade.
43% : On the campaign trail, he broadened his first-day priorities to also include:firing Special Counsel Jack Smith, who has charged Trump in two federal cases pardoning some of the rioters imprisoned after the January 6 2021 riots beginning mass deportations for the estimated 11 million people living in the United States without legal immigration status and ending what he has called "Green New Deal atrocities" within President Joe Biden's framework for tackling climate change.
41% : Trump has maintained a protectionist stance for many decades, so we can expect consistency here.
40% : With that said, Trump comes back to the White House after not only four years of a prior tenure in the Oval Office, but also an additional four years since leaving office.
34% : And when Trump appointed Mike Pence to be his running mate in 2016, it made clear to traditional Republicans that Trump would have a "Republican insider" in an influential position in his administration.
29% : It's therefore less valuable to guess what Trump will do than to focus on the long-term structural trends that would have continued regardless of who is in the White House.
28% : It is all the more challenging considering Trump has prioritised winning re-election far more than discussing a detailed policy agenda.
21% : Trump has made clear that Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will play sizeable roles in his administration, but it remains unclear exactly what they will do.
17% : This quote became a well-known part of the Biden and Harris campaigns' stump speeches against Trump.
16% : Trump will undoubtedly remain unpredictable and unconventional, but it would be a mistake to think there are not clear areas of continuity that began before Trump and will continue long after him.
