#Trump100Days In the 1930s, Franklin D. Roosevelt promised major reforms during his first 100 days as president of the United States amid the Great Depression. After he introduced many significant policies during this period, the events of the "first 100 days" of a presidency became a common benchmark for measuring future presidents in U.S. politics. [3] [4] After Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election defeating Hillary Clinton, he made a series of promises for the first 100 days of his first presidency, which began in 2017. [5] Trump's efforts to fulfill key campaign promises often stalled, were compromised, or were unsuccessful due to internal disputes within his Republican Party, which had legislative majorities in Congress during the 115th Congress and ongoing political polarization, although he dismissed the "first 100 days" milestone as an artificial benchmark. [6] However, Trump enacted many important policies and signed more executive orders in his first 100 days than any president since Harry S. Truman. [3] In total, he signed 28 bills, 24 executive orders, 22 memoranda, and 20 proclamations.
After the end of his first term in 2021, following his defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, Trump returned to power for a second term after his victory in the 2024 presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden as the Democratic presidential candidate after he ended his presidential campaign. [7] Trump's main goal for the first 100 days of his second presidency is to implement the political platform of his presidential campaign Agenda 47, reverse many of Biden's executive actions and policies.
