#Trump100Days Donald Trump's first 100 days as U.S. president (January 20–April 29, 2017) were marked by significant controversy, executive actions, and efforts to fulfill campaign promises. Here are key highlights:
### **1. Executive Orders & Policy Actions**
- **Travel Ban (Muslim Ban)**: Signed **EO 13769**, banning entry from seven Muslim-majority countries (later blocked by courts, revised, and partially reinstated).
- **Border Security & Wall**: Ordered construction of a **Mexico border wall** and increased deportation efforts (though Mexico refused to pay).
- **Deregulation**: Signed orders to cut **two existing regulations for every new one** and expedited pipeline approvals (Keystone XL, Dakota Access).
- **Paris Climate Accord**: Announced intent to withdraw (officially left in 2020).
- **Transgender Bathroom Rights**: Reversed Obama-era protections for transgender students.
### **2. Legislative Efforts**
- **Failed Obamacare Repeal**: The **American Health Care Act (AHCA)** collapsed in Congress due to GOP divisions.
- **Tax Reform Pledge**: Laid groundwork for what became the **Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (passed December 2017)**.
### **3. Russia Controversy**
- **Michael Flynn Resignation**: National Security Advisor resigned over contacts with Russia (leading to Robert Mueller’s investigation).
- **FBI Probe**: Trump fired FBI Director **James Comey** (May 2017), escalating the Russia investigation.
### **4. Judicial Appointments**
- **Neil Gorsuch**: Confirmed to the Supreme Court after Senate Republicans blocked Obama’s nominee (Merrick Garland).
### **5. Approval Ratings & Public Perception**
- Historically **low approval ratings** (~40%, per Gallup).
- Frequent clashes with media ("fake news" rhetoric).
### **6. Foreign Policy Shifts**
- **Tough on NATO**: Demanded allies increase defense spending.
- **Syria Strike**: Ordered missile strikes after a chemical attack (a reversal from his non-interventionist stance).
### **Conclusion**
Trump’s first 100 days were **chaotic but impactful**, focusing on rapid executive actions rather than major legislative wins. His approach set the tone for a presidency defined by **populism, deregulation, and constant controversy**.
