Shortly after declaring an incoming "golden age" for America during his inaugural speech on Monday, President Donald Trump spent the afternoon into evening signing and declaring a flurry of executive orders.

Trump was sworn into office for a second term shortly after noon ET Monday at a ceremony held in the Rotunda of the Capitol due to freezing temperatures in Washington DC.

In his speech, Trump promised actions ranging from mass deportation and declaring a national emergency at the southern border to a manifest destiny that expands all the way to outer space.

U.S. President Donald Trump signs documents as he issues executive orders and pardons for January 6 defendants in the Oval Office at the White House on Inauguration Day in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 20, 2025.

"The United States will once again consider itself a growing mission, one that increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises our expectations and carries our flag into new and beautiful horizons, and we will pursue our manifest destiny for the stars watching American astronauts plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars," Trump said.

With so many executive orders, some of which will most certainly be challenged and possibly shut down, it's hard to keep track. Here is a list of some of the highlights that have been the most talked about thus far.
