#Trump100Days 100 days of Donald Trump" typically refers to the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s presidency, a traditional benchmark used to evaluate a new U.S. president’s early effectiveness and agenda. Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2017, so his first 100 days ended on April 29, 2017.
Key Highlights from Trump's First 100 Days:
1. Executive Orders: Trump signed more executive orders than any president since World War II in their first 100 days—about 30 in total. These included:
Travel ban targeting several Muslim-majority countries.
Withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Rolling back Obama-era regulations, particularly on the environment and business.
2. Legislative Efforts:
Affordable Care Act (Obamacare): Republicans attempted but failed to repeal and replace it.
Tax reform: While legislation wasn’t passed within 100 days, groundwork was laid for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in December 2017.
3. Supreme Court Nomination:
Neil Gorsuch was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, seen as a major early victory for Trump.
4. Foreign Policy Moves:
Ordered a missile strike on Syria in response to a chemical attack.
Increased military presence in Afghanistan and engaged with North Korea diplomatically and rhetorically.
5. Controversies and Investigations:
Early rumblings of the Russia investigation began, culminating in the appointment of Robert Mueller later in 2017.
Frequent clashes with the media and use of Twitter to bypass traditional communication channels.
