Trump promises to pardon Capitol rioters and aims to terminate US citizenship based on birthright prior to administration

Donald Trump, the US president-elect, has pledged to pardon Capitol riot perpetrators and wants to abolish birthright US citizenship.

One of the first things President-elect Donald Trump will do when he takes office next month is to prioritize pardoning anyone convicted in connection with the Capitol riot in 2021.

In his first significant television appearance since winning the election in November, Trump blasted the treatment of individuals imprisoned for their involvement, calling their conditions “filthy” and “disgusting” in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press.

“These people are living in hell,” he said, vowing to evaluate individual cases as soon as he took office.

“On the first day, I’ll be acting very quickly,” he continued.

In order to handle important policy issues like immigration, energy, and the economy, Trump also unveiled plans for a number of executive actions. His plan to abolish birthright citizenship, which the 14th Amendment provides to all people born in the United States, is one of the most noteworthy suggestions.

We will need to have it modified. We must put an end to it, even if it means returning to the people,” he stated.

In addition, he reaffirmed his intention to deport undocumented immigrants, including those who had family members who were born in the United States, while highlighting his readiness to work with Democrats to protect “Dreamers,” or undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country as minors.

In terms of foreign policy, Trump reiterated his support to NATO, as long as member countries fulfill their financial obligations, and hinted that Ukraine might anticipate less funding under his direction. He added that he would not restrict access to abortion medicines, but that his views might change based on the situation.

Trump insisted that some of his political rivals, including lawmakers who looked into the Capitol brawl, “should go to jail,” even though he indicated he would not seek a Justice Department investigation into departing President Joe Biden. By stating that “retribution will be through success” and that his goal is to make the nation prosperous rather than rehashing old conflicts, he softened his tone on this subject.

Trump reaffirmed his commitment to preserving Social Security, vowing to make the program “more efficient” and not increase the qualifying age or reduce benefits. He also defended his intentions to impose import tariffs, saying, “I can’t guarantee anything,” while conceding possible economic difficulties.

Meanwhile, outgoing President Biden recently gave his son, Hunter Biden, a broad pardon and is apparently thinking about pardoning other political pals before he leaves office. In response, Trump stressed that if there was proof of misconduct, law enforcement would be in charge of any upcoming inquiries into his political opponents.

Trump’s remarks as he gets ready for his inauguration on January 20th show an administration ready to take swift and important action, which is sure to generate support and criticism from a wide range of political backgrounds.
