Barely inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump will sign a series of decrees. The announcements were made to the press by members of his future team and echo several of his campaign promises. They particularly concern questions of sovereignty and gender identity, two recurring themes of America's new strong man. They should be initialed in front of 20,000 Trump supporters, gathered at the Capital One Arena where an office has been set up for the occasion.
National emergency at the border with Mexico
According to an official from the future Trump government, a national emergency at the border with Mexico will be declared. The American army will monitor it. The national emergency “allows the armed forces to be deployed” at the border. The military will prioritize “the sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of the United States by repelling forms of invasion, including illegal mass migration.”
Towards the end of the right of asylum and land rights?
“We are going to put an end to the right to asylum, […] which creates an immediate expulsion procedure without the possibility of asylum. We will then end the right of soil,” explained Anna Kelly, future deputy spokesperson for the White House. Land law, which grants anyone born on American soil the right to obtain an American passport, is enshrined in the American Constitution. These measures risk being challenged in court.
The existence of only two sexes
Donald Trump will sign an executive order ordering his administration to “recognize” the existence of only “two sexes”. He campaigned on a promise to “end the transgender madness.” The executive decree aims to “defend women against ideological gender extremism and restore biological truth within the federal state,” an official told the press on condition of anonymity. The sexual identity of individuals will now be defined exclusively by the gametes they produce.

Elimination of federal support for diversity programs
“We are going to put an end to this type of funding, we are going to put an end to these programs,” said a source close to Donald Trump, who requested anonymity within the future team. She pointed to programs on anti-racism and diversity.
