Title: Did Trump Keep His Promises in His First 100 Days?

Donald Trump had no prior political experience when he became the 45th President of the United States in January 2017. He positioned himself, however, as a successful businessman and television personality who was an outsider to the Washington elite and a representative of the common people. However, the real question was how many of his bold campaign promises were actually kept within his first 100 days. His popularity was helped by these promises.

The Promises of the Campaign as a Whole The ambitious and attention-grabbing campaign promises made by Trump included the construction of a massive wall along the Mexican border, the repeal of Obamacare, the imposition of a travel ban on certain countries with a majority of Muslims, tax reform, and the withdrawal of the United States from various international agreements under the slogan "America First." His pledges gave the impression to his supporters that he was steadfast and uncompromising.

Prior Steps in the First One Hundred Days

1. An avalanche of executive orders: In his first 100 days,

Trump executed more than 30 executive orders. The travel ban on several countries with a large Muslim population was one of the most contentious, resulting in nationwide protests and legal battles. It demonstrated an effort to fulfill a central campaign promise, despite being repeatedly blocked by courts.

2. Attempts to Reform Health Care:

Obamacare would be repealed and replaced by the Trump administration. Due to internal party divisions, a bill that was introduced in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives failed to pass within the first 100 days. This represented an important early setback.

3. Policy on Immigration and the Border Wall:

One of Trump's most important promises was to build a wall along the border between the United States and Mexico. During the first 100 days, plans for the budget and planning were presented, but construction did not begin. Additionally, Mexico refused to pay for the wall, contrary to Trump's claim.

4. Change in Foreign Policy in a Major Way:

Trump announced his intention to leave the Paris Climate Agreement and withdrew the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Although these actions were in line with his "America First" policy, they were criticized for excluding the United States from global issues.

5. The Economy and Tax Reform:

Trump proposed several business-friendly initiatives, including corporate tax cuts and deregulation, despite the fact that significant tax reform was not implemented within the first 100 days. The purpose of these actions was to create a more favorable setting for investment and economic expansion.

Supporters' Perspective:

The Point of View of Supporters Trump's supporters argued that he was a man of action who tried to keep his promises and move quickly. His bold approach and use of executive orders indicated a departure from conventional politics and demonstrated his determination to alter Washington's status quo. They were also of the opinion that, rather than a lack of intent, obstacles imposed by the courts and Congress slowed progress.

Critics' Viewpoint:

Trump's first 100 days, according to critics, were chaotic, lacking in experience, and marked by unrealistic promises. Some of his plans lacked practical implementation routes, and many of his executive orders encountered legal obstacles. The opposition and the media frequently characterized his early presidency as impulsive, polarizing, and poorly managed.

Ratings of Public Opinion and Approval After the first 100 days,

Trump's approval rating was just 41%, which was the lowest for any modern president at that point. His leadership, according to many Americans, favored the wealthy and contributed to nationalism rather than unity.

Conclusion

The first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency produced mixed results. There were legal, logistical, or political setbacks for some of the promises, while others saw partial progress. Although the first 100 days do not define a presidency as a whole, they do shed light on a leader's priorities, strategies, and effectiveness.

Trump was a one-of-a-kind and controversial political figure. His first few months in office made it abundantly clear that this was not going to be a typical presidency, whether he was regarded as a daring reformer or a polarizing leader.
