Trump's First 100 Days!
In this episode I review the accomplishments of President Trump’s First 100 Days:
Border Security & Immigration Enforcement
- Illegal border crossings decreased by over 94%, attributed to reinstated Trump-era policies and the enactment of the Laken Riley Act, which mandates the detention of undocumented immigrants charged with violent crimes.
- Introduced a self-deportation incentive program, offering $1,000 and travel assistance to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily leave the U.S. via the CBP Home app.
- Proposed reopening Alcatraz Island as a federal prison to detain violent offenders and high-risk illegal immigrants, symbolizing a return to "law, order, and justice."
Economic Revitalization & Trade Policies
- Imposed a universal 10% tariff on all imported goods starting April 2, dubbed "Liberation Day," and a 25% tariff on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, aiming to bolster domestic manufacturing.
- Facilitated the creation of 345,000 new jobs, with 54% in non-government sectors, including significant growth in construction and energy industries.
Government Efficiency & Deregulation
- Established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, targeting $1 trillion in federal budget cuts by July 4, 2026.
- Implemented federal workforce reductions through voluntary buyouts, resulting in 77,000 departures, and mandated return-to-office plans to increase productivity.
Cultural Initiatives & Domestic Policy
- Directed the elimination of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across federal agencies and educational institutions, promoting a return to merit-based systems.
- Announced a 100% tariff on foreign-made films, aiming to protect and revitalize the American film industry.
Foreign Policy & National Security
- Engaged in diplomatic discussions with international leaders, including Turkey's President Erdogan, focusing on conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, and signed a minerals deal with Ukraine to enhance U.S. leverage on Russia.
- Extended the deadline for TikTok to secure a U.S. buyer to June 19, emphasizing national security concerns over foreign-owned social media platforms.
