He will call for a "revolution of common sense" according to extracts released in advance of his inauguration. At a rally on Sunday, the Republican promised to act unilaterally on a wide array of issues, including illegal immigration, climate rules and diversity policies.

It is common for presidents to sign a range of executive orders when they enter office. Such orders carry the weight of law but can be overturned by subsequent presidents or the courts.

But the scale of what Trump has planned could be unprecedented, with legal challenges expected. "You're going to have a lot of fun watching television tomorrow," he told supporters at the rally.
