Trump plans to pardon all Capitol attackers.
Trump is also clearly positioning himself against Biden when it comes to oil production and migration policy.
Washington DC – Donald Trump is already making plans if he wins the presidential election in November.
One of his first acts as president would be to pardon all those convicted of storming the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
In a post on his online platform Truth Social, the 77-year-old announced: "My first actions as your next president will be: close the border, drill, drill, drill, and free the January 6th hostages, who are unjustly imprisoned!”
As president, Trump would immediately pardon the “Capitol hostages.”
Trump's priorities for the first 100 days of a possible second presidency seem clear: oil and gas drilling, freeing those "wrongfully" arrested who stormed the Capitol and tougher border controls at the Mexican border.
A total of 1,033 people were arrested after the storming of the Capitol.
Half of them were convicted, with Enrique Tarrio being the hardest hit.
The former leader of the Proud Boys, a right-wing extremist group, received a 22-year prison sentence.
The “Proud Boys” were instrumental in storming the Capitol to prevent the peaceful transfer of power to Joe Biden.
Donald Trump already has concrete plans for the first days of his presidency: pardons, oil drilling and more border controls.

Trump's agenda for 2025: More oil drilling - less climate protection
Trump's calls for more oil drilling are also nothing new.
Last year, the former president had already curry favor with the oil lobby in order to collect donations for his re-election.
Harold Hamm, a wealthy oil mogul, gave Trump a $200,000 check in 2023 to support his campaign.
During his last term as president, the oil lobby was already very generous towards Trump.
As the
Washington Post
found, Trump passed more than 125 environmental laws between 2017 and 2021 that were intended to limit CO₂ emissions in the face of climate change.
The refugee crisis as an important point in the election campaign between Biden and Trump
The third point that the 77-year-old addresses is also currently a big problem for Biden ahead of the US election in November.
The situation at the border with Mexico is increasingly becoming a problem for the Democrats, who are also arguing about the right immigration policy.
Trump's line on migration, however, remains as tough as usual.
He described the record numbers of refugees streaming across the Mexican border into the United States as a “Joe Biden invasion.”

Tom Suozzi's victory in the Long Island special election showed that the Democratic electorate is in favor of a tougher course.
The Democrat decidedly distanced himself from Biden's immigration policy and was able to secure the seat in the House of Representatives against his Republican opponent.
Trump seems to be staying true to his line and is repeating his rhetoric from recent years to score points with the Republicans.
During his first term in office, Trump tried to build a large wall on the Mexican border in order to completely stop immigration from Mexico.
