On April 29, #特朗普就职百日 2025, Trump celebrated the 100-day mark of his second term. He held a rally in Michigan to commemorate it, claiming it was "the best start for a president in history" and listing so-called achievements such as expelling illegal immigrants, bringing manufacturing back, restoring the rule of law in America, and lowering inflation. He also revealed that advancing the Republican tax bill would be a major priority moving forward.
In the first 100 days, Trump signed more than 130 executive orders and 178 executive actions and memoranda, an unprecedented number. His policies displayed a distinct characteristic of internal and external expansion, initiating a comprehensive "purge" of federal agencies, directing the Justice Department to investigate political enemies, and promoting the harshest immigration policies in history. Externally, he continued the "America First" logic, imposing high tariffs on major trading partners, which sparked considerable controversy.
However, multiple polls showed that his approval rating hit the lowest score for a new president's first 100 days in 80 years. U.S. media pointed out that Trump's 100-day report card was dismal, with his administration accused of "creating unprecedented destruction and chaos," and his radical policies raising widespread concerns and doubts both domestically and internationally, transforming his "America First" approach into a global "America Risk."
