#Trump100Days #Trump100Days: A Bold Start to Trump's 2025 Presidency
Donald Trump began his presidency on January 20, 2025, with a strong and controversial agenda. At a rally in Michigan—referred to as the "Heart of America"—he addressed supporters by declaring, “We’ll make you America great again. I love you America, I love Michigan.” The speech highlighted his 100-day action plan, focused on curbing illegal immigration and creating job opportunities for American citizens.
One of the administration's most aggressive moves was the deportation of illegal migrants. Indian nationals were among those deported in handcuffs. Trump expressed frustration at illegal entries from countries including China, Pakistan, and France, accusing them of taking away American jobs.
In just 100 days, Trump signed 142 executive orders—an unprecedented pace. During this time, over 209,000 workers reportedly lost their jobs. Meanwhile, Thawwur Rana, accused in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, was extradited to India.
On the diplomatic front, the U.S. offered India the opportunity to purchase F-35 fighter jets, citing regional security interests. In return, India slashed tariffs on American products such as Harley-Davidson motorcycles and whisky.
Gasoline prices fell by $3, providing some relief to consumers. Trump also announced a plan to boost U.S. market capitalization to $500 billion by 2030.
However, his aggressive tariff policies led to economic turbulence. A 145% tariff on Chinese goods ignited a trade war, with China retaliating by imposing 125% tariffs on American exports. The U.S. economy contracted by 0.3%, with inflation, record deficits, and uncertainty clouding economic growth.
At the core of Trump’s agenda is a crackdown on illegal immigration and a push to prioritize jobs for native-born Americans.
