Trump being Trump, nobody knows what his first actions will be, but I\u2019d guess one of the first things he\u2019ll do is sign a number of executive orders \u2014 many of which, will undo some signed by Obama. That\u2019s a fairly easy thing to do to send the message of keeping his campaign promise of things changing on day one. Of course, one promise he made, the promise of radical changes to American immigration in \u201cmy first hour in office,\u201d may be a little harder to achieve. Many of Trump\u2019s policy positions are fluid \u2014 he has adopted and abandoned, and often adopted again his position on just about everything. One thing is certain \u2014 the 115th Congress convenes today\u2026 Republicans have control of both chambers, so we\u2019ll see what conservative policies will be at the top of their list.
