Trump can do what he wants as President. That is why people must unite to fight against Trump. Everything Trump said in his campaign are the policies, that he will implement. He has some very extreme policies that will upset lots of people. Muslims and immigrants are very worried what Trump will do as President. Trump wants to build a wall and make Mexicans pay for it. Trump has anti-Muslims views that he has expressed in his campaign rallies. 

No, he can't.  Most of what he has talked about would need the majority of Congress to introduce and pass, or even a super-majority, which means Democrats would have to agree.  That's why some of his policies will be much less sweeping if they go through.  

Other promises, he cannot do at all because they are outside his executive powers.  For instance, he's implied that he would change State laws, when he does not have that authority.  

He honestly has no idea what he can and cannot accomplish as President.  He got elected knowing less about the law than many college students.  His advisors are going to have to tell him all of this on the fly.

Presidental powers are limited by design, thankfully.  Trump just doesn't know it yet.
