#Trump100Days In his first 100 days of his second term, President Donald Trump enacted sweeping and controversial changes across various policy areas. He signed a record 143 executive orders, targeting immigration, trade, education, and federal bureaucracy. Notably, illegal border crossings reportedly dropped by 95% due to aggressive enforcement measures. Trump imposed broad tariffs, raising the U.S. effective tariff rate to 27%, which led to market instability and strained international relations. Domestically, he dismantled diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and restructured the Department of Education, aiming to eliminate critical race theory. The newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, initiated mass federal employee firings. While inflation decreased to 2.4%, public opinion remains cautious, with only 21% feeling the economy is improving. Trump's assertive use of executive power has drawn both praise and criticism, setting a polarizing tone for his administration's trajectory. ([What has Trump done in his first 100 days?
