#Trump100Days
Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025, thus beginning the first 100 days of his second presidency, which will end today on April 30th, 2025. The first 100 days of a presidency took on symbolic significance during Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term in office, and the period is considered a benchmark to measure the early success of a president. As of April 29, 2025, President Trump has signed 142 executive orders, 40 proclamations, 42 memorandums, the Laken Riley Act, a continuing appropriations act, and other pieces of legislation for Congress.
Trump signed a record 26 executive actions on the first day of his second term
Trump's return to office is concurrent with the Republican Party maintaining a legislative majority in the House of Representatives and securing the Senate majority in the 2024 Congressional Elections, marking an overall government trifecta for the GOP for the first time since the 115th Congress in 2017 at the beginning of Trump's first presidency.
Since taking office, Trump's extensive use of executive orders has drawn a mixed reception from both Republicans and Democrats. Some executive orders have tested the limits of executive authority, and others have faced immediate legal challenges. Major topics Trump has focused on include immigration reform, deportations, applying tariffs on other countries, cutting federal spending, reducing the federal workforce, increasing executive authority, and implementing a non-interventionist foreign policy.
