Today marks 100 days since President Trump became president—and even his greatest critics admit th second Trump administration has had one of the most historic opening acts in American history.
From shutting down and reversing illegal immigration, to sending the government’s army of bureaucrats a fistful of pink slips, to demanding foreign countries buy U.S. goods and put America First, Trump’s 15 weeks in office will make the history books.
President Trump hit the ground running by focusing on his signature campaign issue: securing the border…and he’s been so successful so fast, it’s unprecedented.
“Illegal crossings are at the lowest level ever detected. Border migrant shelters have shut down because the number of people caught and released has dropped 99.99%,” reported The Washington Times.
Trump border chief Tom Homan schooled the media this week, revealing that during the Biden administration, as many as 15,000 illegal aliens crossed the border each day. On Sunday, the number fell to 178. Known “gotaways” topped 1,800 a day; under Trump, it was 38.
The administration cranked up mass deportations, deporting more than 135,000 illegals in 100 days.
In fact, Trump has forced illegal aliens to want to return home voluntarily, paying the coyotes a second fee to smuggle them back to their home countries.
He also honored the memory of the Americans victimized by illegal alien criminals by signing the Laken Riley Act.
When the president puts muscle behind tough policies—like ending catch and release, forcing “asylum seekers” to stay in Mexico, and cracking down on human smugglers—things get fixed.
The president got just as tough with “legal” Washington spending by putting fat-cat, elitist bureaucrats at the mercy of chainsaw-wielding DOGE leader Elon Musk. He and Musk forced federal workers, who began “working” from home during the COVID epidemic, to return to the office…where bosses can verify they actually do something.
Bureaucrats got outraged that DOGE asked them to list a handful of things they accomplished on the job.
Trump cleaned out a Democratic slush fund by calling back emergency” funds from COVID-19 and the “Inflation Reduction Act” that still hadn’t been spent yet.
But the president also went after the big names. Trump denied literally dozens of grifters their security clearance—a perk that Deep State actors trade on to obtain cushy corporate jobs, media contracts, and lucrative positions as “intelligence experts.”
He decided the federal government would never be weaponized again—and made sure of it. “Trump’s Justice Department fired the prosecutors who investigated him as part of special counsel Jack Smith’s team and demanded the names of FBI agents who participated in investigations into the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol,” said reporters from AP.
“In January, he fired the Inspectors General of 17 different agencies,” reported Time. “For his new U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Trump picked Alina Habba, his former personal lawyer. In Washington, the nation’s largest and most important U.S. Attorney’s office, Trump tapped Ed Martin, a 2020 ‘Stop the Steal’ organizer.”
Martin “demoted the lawyers who brought cases against Jan. 6 rioters,” whom Trump pardoned.
For the first time in far too long, President Trump got tough with foreign leaders, telling them on Liberation Day that they had to buy more U.S. goods or face “reciprocal tariffs” on their exports to the U.S. Already, Trump tariffs have led to well over a trillion dollars in fresh foreign money pumping into the U.S. economy since his inauguration, according to “a non-comprehensive running list of new U.S.-based investments in President Trump’s second term” posted on the White House website.
He ripped DEI and Woke ideology out of the federal government, all the way to the roots.
He cut red tape on drilling for oil and fracking for natural gas.
Thanks to President Trump, Americans can own a car and a vehicle than run on gas.
Thanks to President Trump, the Gulf of Mexico is now officially “the Gulf of America.”
Thanks to President Trump, BLM no longer has its own taxpayer-funded plaza in Washington, D.C.
And thanks to President Trump, pretty soon the Department of Education won’t have an office in the nation’s capital, either.
Along the way, Trump remade the Republican Party. He stood up to China. And yes, he reduced egg costs—cutting the price of a carton of eggs roughly in half.
Of course, you might not know all these facts, since the legacy media’s coverage of Trump’s second administration has been 92 percent negative. But the media know them.
Reuters whined, “Trump’s second-term ‘America First’ agenda” is “raising questions about how far he is prepared to go.” But the real reason Reuters rues the Republican’s rule is that the media know President Trump isn’t just changing rules; he’s changing global order to put America back on top.
“His actions, coupled with that uncertainty, have so unnerved some governments that they are responding in ways that could be difficult to undo, even if a more traditional U.S. president is elected in 2028,” the “news outlet” admitted.
“He’s challenging a system that was decaying and failing,” former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Tuesday morning. “If your brother-in-law is used to the idea that you’re gonna loan him your car, pay him for the gasoline, and also buy him dinner, and one morning you say to him, ‘I’m done doing that,’ he’s gonna be resentful, because he thinks they’re his rights. And that’s part of what we’re seeing from our ‘allies’ around the world, people who have basically mooched off of us are very offended that we’re saying, ‘Hey, we’re going to put America First.’”
It was always possible—and President Donald Trump actually made it happen.
“They say politics is the art of the possible,” wrote conservative columnist and former Trump campaign official David Bossie. “However, as Mr. Trump’s first 100 days in office make clear, nothing is impossible when it comes to the United States.”
