On his first day, Trump said this:
“Recalling the day in Butler, Pa., in July when “an assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear,” Trump said that “I felt then, and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again.” *
On his first day, Trump pardoned over 1500 people who tried to overturn the government on January 6, including 174 who had been charged and found guilty of assaulting police officers with baseball bats, riot batons, bear spray, the officers’ own shields, flag poles and metal bars.

On his first day, Trump withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement.
On his first day, Trump suspended “refugee admissions to the United States [that] puts at risk thousands of citizens of Afghanistan who helped the American mission during the war there.

On his first day, Patricia Hemphill refused her pardon for storming the Capitol on January 6. She said she had committed a crime. She said, “I’m not going to be bullied by MAGA anymore, as those who went as far as calling my Probation Officer trying to get me in trouble backfired on them, thinking I would stop speaking out, just gave me more confidence to continue! I will refuse a pardon from felon Trump!”
This is Patricia Hemphill:
