The term "Trump 100 Days" refers to the initial period of Donald Trump's presidency as President of the United States, which began on January 20, 2017. Traditionally, the first 100 days of a government are seen as a milestone to assess priorities, fulfilled promises, and the initial impact of an administration.
Key aspects of Trump's first 100 days:
Policies and Fulfilled Promises:
Reversal of regulations: Trump signed several executive orders to reduce regulations that he claimed were limiting economic growth.
Supreme Court appointment: Appointed Neil Gorsuch as a Supreme Court justice, a major victory for conservatives.
Immigration: Introduced executive orders to restrict immigration from certain majority-Muslim countries (the so-called "travel bans"), although these actions faced significant legal challenges.
Foreign policy: Began reshaping relationships with allies and rivals, including withdrawing from multilateral agreements such as the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership).
Challenges and Controversies:
Attempt to repeal Obamacare: The effort to replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) initially failed, demonstrating divisions within the Republican Party.
Investigation into Russia: The issue of possible Russian interference in the 2016 election began to gain traction, with increasing scrutiny over Trump's campaign ties to the Kremlin.
Economic Priorities:
Trump promised tax cuts, incentives for the coal and oil industries, and the return of manufacturing jobs to the U.S.
Ordered the construction of pipelines such as Keystone XL and Dakota Access, in line with his promises to revitalize the energy sector.
Governance Style:
Trump heavily utilized Twitter as a direct channel to communicate his ideas, criticisms, and political statements, which is unusual for a U.S. president.
His "America First" approach guided his domestic and foreign policies.
