Trump's last week in the White House: these are the latest moves he plans
The president is also preparing at least one more round of pardons, and will try for the last time to advance his administration's effort to control big technology.
Banned from social media and abandoned by some of his staff after inciting a riot on the U.S. Capitol, President Donald Trump and a shrinking circle of advisers plan a challenging final week in office, according to people familiar with the matter. with the matter.
Trump plans to exhaust the clock in his four years in office by highlighting what he believes to be his greatest achievements, including the wall his administration built on at least part of the U.S. border with Mexico. A trip to Alamo, Texas, near the border is expected on Tuesday, a White House spokesman said.
The president is also preparing at least one more round of pardons, and will make one last attempt to advance his administration's effort to control big tech, two people said, although it is unclear what he can do.

Trump announces he will not attend Biden's inauguration
On Friday, Twitter announced that it permanently suspended Trump's account "due to the risk of further incitement to violence."
Trump and his team will respond to the Twitter ban during his final week in office by building on his fight against what he calls censorship of Republicans by big tech companies. The president has long demanded that Congress repeal Section 230, a liability waiver that social media companies rely on to allow relatively unrestricted speech on their platforms. He is likely to amplify that call, though Biden's January 20 inauguration and the Democrats' takeover of the Senate are expected to eliminate prospects for any changes in the law for now.
Trump has prepared several executive orders related to big tech companies, but it is unclear if any will be issued, a source said.
