How Trump did on his inaugural speech promises in his first 100 days
President Donald Trump delivered his second Inauguration Day speech on Jan. 20, outlining his vision for America’s future and the steps his administration would take to make it a reality. He promised to usher in “the golden age of America” by implementing various policies and initiatives. One of the key issues he focused on was immigration, vowing to end the illegal immigration crisis that had escalated under the previous administration.
Trump declared that he would declare a national emergency at the southern border, halt all illegal entry, and initiate the process of returning millions of criminal aliens to their home countries. He also promised to reinstate his “Remain in Mexico” policy, end catch-and-release practices, and deploy troops to repel any invasion of the country. Since taking office, Trump has followed through on many of these promises, with fewer apprehensions at the border and increased deportations of illegal immigrants.
In addition to immigration reform, Trump also pledged to restore “competence” in the U.S. government. He established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with the help of tech billionaire Elon Musk to identify and eliminate wasteful spending and inefficiencies within federal agencies. DOGE has already saved an estimated $160 billion through various measures, including canceling government contracts, workforce reductions, and asset sales.
Furthermore, Trump emphasized his desire to be a “peacemaker and unifier” on the global stage. He highlighted the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine, pledging to work towards ending these wars and bringing hostages home. While progress has been made in securing the release of hostages and facilitating peace talks, challenges remain in achieving lasting peace in these regions.
Overall, Trump’s first 100 days in office have been marked by significant strides in fulfilling his campaign promises and implementing his vision for America. From immigration reform to government efficiency and global peacekeeping efforts, the administration has made notable progress in advancing its agenda. As Trump looks ahead to the remainder of his term, the country awaits further developments and initiatives that will shape the future of the nation.
