The GreatAgain.gov website outlines how the transition will take place under the Presidential Transitions Improvements Act of 2015, which was signed into law in May of 2016 and also outlines Trump's positions on key policy issues including defense, education and immigration. 

It states that “during the 73-day period between Election Day and Inauguration Day, the President-Elect will deploy Agency Review Teams to each federal agency to ensure a smooth transition between administrations. Simultaneously, the incoming administration will identify, vet, and select candidates for approximately 4,100 presidential appointments. Numerous announcements for key positions will occur during the transition period, while nominations of individuals for Senate-confirmed appointments, confirmation of nominees, and appointments to positions not requiring Senate confirmation will begin after January 20, 2017.”

The website also offers backgrounders on the President-elect, the future first lady, the Vice President-elect and the future second lady and on key policy issues, including defense and national security, energy independence, tax reforms, regulatory reform, trade reform, education, transport and infrastructure, financial services reform, healthcare reform, veterans administration reform, protecting constitutional rights and “immigration reform and building the wall”.

The GreatAgain.gov website lists a ten-point plan to restore integrity to the immigration system, to protect communities and to “put America first”. The first item on the ten-point plan is to “build a wall on the southern border”.

Trump’s defense and national security policy outlines how the Trump administration recognizes the “threats posed by nuclear weapons and cyber attacks” and how Trump will ensure that the US “nuclear triad is modernized” because “America’s stature in the world is determined by its values, prosperity and might.”
