After being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, President Trump wasted no time in signing off a series of documents to get his plans into action.
Sat at a desk, he was brought document after document to sign in front of a crowd at the Capitol One Arena in Washington and at the White House.
These documents were mostly executive orders.
An executive order is a written law introduced by the president that doesn't need to be approved by other US politicians.
It is a very powerful tool, but it does still need to be legal and should not go against the US constitution.
Here are some of the executive orders Trump signed within hours of becoming president.
