Trump’s First 100 Days: A Controversial Start with Lasting Impact

Donald Trump’s first 100 days as President of the United States were marked by bold promises, rapid executive actions, and deep political division. Taking office on January 20, 2017, Trump moved swiftly to implement parts of his “America First” agenda. He signed a wave of executive orders, including efforts to roll back Obama-era regulations, limit immigration from several predominantly Muslim countries, and begin plans for a border wall with Mexico.

The administration also withdrew the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and emphasized a tougher stance on trade, particularly with China. Trump’s push to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) faced setbacks, revealing divisions even within the Republican Party. Despite these challenges, he maintained a strong base of support, touting job growth and stock market performance as early successes.
