President Trump marks the 100th day of his second term, a benchmark that`s widely considered the first impression of any administration.
The milestone has its roots in the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt. Within months of taking office in 1933, he signed dozens of bills and executive orders that helped alleviate the nation`s financial crisis and set the New Deal in motion.
Trump has hit multiple records for his first 100 days in office, but the rapidity of his actions also highlights the fragility of relying on presidential actions to cement core politics. Trump has signed 142 executive orders since January 20. No one is near. Obama had 19 in 2009.
Trump left office in 2021 with an approval rate of 38%. Now, the approval rating sits at 42% in March. Biden, in contrast, capped off his first 100 days with an approval rating of 53%. Biden left office with an approval rating of 42%.
Speaker Mike Johnson said Trump has achieved more in 100 days than most presidents in their lifetime. Gingrich said Trump could be among the most consequential figures since the U.S. founding.
On the other side, the Democrats said Trump is failing in round two, and they still want to resist his agenda. Chuck Schumer said it`s been 100 days of hell under Trump. 100 days of hell for the American families. For the economy, and for the Democracy.
He also said that the start of Donald Trump`s second term has been the worst start of any president in modern times.
No matter what people believe, the future will judge him anyway, and money talks. The problems started a long time ago, and the problem is not Trump. He is in the Oval Office because of all the troubles.
The markets are rocky, and it will probably continue to be so for a while. A New World Order is on the way, and you cannot come through this without disruptions. Despite all this, Trump continues to do what he believes in.
One of the biggest problems is inflation. It`s low under Trump but was sky high under Biden. Inflation accelerated notably under Biden. In 2021, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) began to rise sharply, and it peaked at 9,1% in June 2022 (the highest in four decades).
Now, under Trump, the inflation is down to 2,4%, indicating that earlier pressures were easing.
But are we gonna blame Biden for this, and give Trump cred? While the most pronounced inflation occurred during Biden`s presidency, its origins are multifaceted, involving pandemic-era policies from both administrations, global supply issues, and geopolitical tensions.
Thus, attributing the inflation surge solely to one president oversimplifies a complex economic situation.
Under Trump, drug prices are down. The drop in the price was the largest ever recorded. Gasoline prices are down 7% since Trump took office. Energy prices are down 2%. Egg prices are down about 50% since Trump took office.
These price declines are in contrast to the persistently high inflation under President Biden, which reached the highest annual rate in the past 40 years. After suffering for years under the Biden Administration’s inflation, consumers are now getting welcome relief. On Biden`s watch, grocery prices rose 23%, and energy prices rose 34%.
Real average hourly earnings for middle- and low-income workers are up since Trump took office. The automotive sector is growing under Trump. Mortgage rates have declined, and Industrial production was at the seventh-highest monthly level ever recorded in March.
Since the beginning of the Trump Administration, at least $5 trillion in new investment in the U.S. has been pledged from both foreign governments and private companies.
Upon taking office, President Trump immediately blocked all unfinalized Biden-era rules, saving Americans over $180 billion – $2.100 per family of four over the next decade, and launched a bold, multi-agency effort to roll back existing federal regulations that drive up the cost of living. The combined savings from all of Trump’s actions equal just over $900 billion or nearly $11.000 per family of four over the coming decade.
President Trump has created 345,000 jobs since taking office in January. 188,000 (54%) of these were non-government and government-adjacent sectors. This is a dramatic improvement from the last two years of the Biden Administration, when three-fourths of all new jobs were in government or government-adjacent sectors.
Elon Musk also said that he would spend less time on DOGE and focus on Tesla, as the 130-day clock on his appointment as a «special government employee» runs down. «The DOGE team has made a lot of progress in addressing waste and fraud,» Musk said.
In an interview with Time, Trump called DOGE a «very big success.» «We found hundreds of billions of dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse,» he said. «It`s a scam. It`s illegal, in my opinion, so much of the stuff that we found, but I think DOGE has been a big success from that standpoint.»
As Musk steps down, DOGE`s work continues, but it`s too early to say what the long-term impact of DOGE will have on the federal government. Trump`s order gives the temporary DOGE organization a deadline of July 4, 2026, to accomplish its goals.
Musk said he will spend a day or two a week on government work. Trump is finished with the first 100 days of this second term, and will continue to work 100% for only $1. This is how he`s saving Americans. Will Trump`s revolution succeed? To be continued……
