The Trump White House has wasted no time outlining its ambitious agenda, circulating a fact sheet on Capitol Hill that lays out the administration’s top four priorities: “Make America Safe Again,” “Make America Affordable And Energy Dominant Again,” “Drain the Swamp,” and “Bring Back American Values.” The document—a roadmap for the administration’s first actions—signals a bold return to America First principles.
At the forefront is a robust plan to secure the southern border and address illegal immigration. The fact sheet emphasizes the importance of ending Biden’s “catch-and-release” policies, reinstating the “Remain in Mexico” program, building the border wall, and halting asylum for illegal border crossers. “President Trump will take bold action to secure our border and protect American communities,” the document declares, while also outlining plans to crack down on criminal sanctuaries and enhance vetting processes. A key element involves deploying the Armed Forces, including the National Guard, to assist in border security, emphasizing that “border security is national security.”
In a further effort to combat illegal activity, President Trump intends to designate cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and use the Alien Enemies Act to remove them. Additionally, the fact sheet proposes suspending refugee resettlement and seeking the death penalty for illegal aliens who commit violent crimes against Americans or law enforcement.
On the economic and energy front, the administration is focused on making America energy dominant again. The document outlines plans to “end Biden’s policies of climate extremism,” streamline permitting, rescind burdensome regulations, and declare an energy emergency to build critical infrastructure. The White House also plans to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accords and launch an “America First Trade Policy” to reduce the cost of living and boost domestic energy production.

“Drain the Swamp” remains a cornerstone of Trump’s agenda, with plans to improve accountability within the federal government, freeze bureaucrat hiring except in essential areas, and root out the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda. “He will pause burdensome and radical regulations not yet in effect that Biden announced,” the document states. Additionally, the administration pledges to “end the weaponization of government against political rivals” and halt unconstitutional censorship by federal employees.
Finally, the Trump White House is championing a return to traditional American values. The document asserts that Trump “will establish male and female as biological reality and protect women from radical gender ideology.” It also promises to honor America’s history by appropriately naming national landmarks.
The administration’s bold agenda underscores a commitment to reversing the policies of the previous administration while reaffirming a vision of American strength, self-reliance, and traditional values. Democrats may scoff, but Trump’s clear priorities resonate with Americans who are ready to see their nation return to prosperity, security, and common sense.
