Promises Made, Promises Kept – Trump’s First 100 Days
Reviewing Some of President Trump’s Major Wins
Last November, the Trump-GOP voter coalition ushered President Trump and Senate Republicans into office to lead on the issues Americans care about: Border security, the economy, safety and security, and American innovation.
After President Trump’s first 100 days in office, Americans have already seen the fruits of the policies pushed by this administration and Republicans in Congress. On all of these major issues, President Trump and Congressional Republicans are keeping the promises they made to voters on the campaign trail.
Let’s take a look at some of the major issues from 2024 and the progress being made in this historic second term.
First Promise Kept: Securing the Border
In 2024, border security was one of the top two issues, if not the top issue, voters cared about. President Trump vowed to put an end to the border crisis and regain operational control of our southern border. Not only did he follow through on this promise, but it only took him 100 days to do it.
Since taking office, President Trump has already reduced illegal border crossings by 95 percent. Migrant encounters with “gotaways” are also down 95 percent.
Starting on day one, President Trump and his administration took decisive action to curb the flow of illegal immigration and deport violent criminals from our country. Here are a couple of his notable border wins:
As the first bill on President Trump’s desk during his second administration, President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law. This legislation honors the Georgia nursing student who was brutally murdered at the hands of an illegal migrant and requires the the Department of Homeland Security to detain illegal aliens who have been arrested for committing crimes.
President Trump designated foreign gangs like MS-13 and Tren De Aragua as terrorist organizations. Just a few days ago, the Trump administration raided a nightclub in Colorado Springs that was frequented by these illegal gang members. During this raid, authorities arrested 114 illegal immigrants.
The Trump administration quickly began deportations of the most violent criminal gang members to a maximum security prison in El Salvador. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the Trump administration has already arrested over 151,000 illegal aliens and deported over 135,000, including 600 members of Tren De Aragua. This means that the Trump administration has already surpassed arrest and deportation numbers from FY2024. As a result, self-deportation numbers are also on the rise.
Second Promise Kept: Rightsizing the Federal Government and Restoring the American Economy
One of President Trump’s main campaign promises was to cut waste, fraud, and abuse from the federal government. Empowering DOGE and agency heads to work together to accomplish this goal, this administration quickly made significant progress and saved billions of taxpayer dollars:
On Day One, President Trump froze all new regulations.
With help from Elon Musk, President Trump created DOGE and has already saved an estimated $160 BILLION of taxpayer money. That’s over $900 per U.S. taxpayer.
Much to the dismay of DC Democrats, DOGE downsized the U.S. Agency for International Development, ending billions of dollars of grift for Left-wing NGOs.
After Biden greatly expanded the IRS, Trump is cutting it back to its proper size.
DOGE exposed Biden’s funding for transgender mice. Yes, seriously.
This administration also stopped giving food stamps to illegal aliens, saving taxpayers $10.5 billion per year.
President Trump inherited one of the weakest U.S. economies in recent history, but he is taking incredible steps to build a strong and durable economy:
President Trump used tariffs to bring 70 countries to the negotiating table in order to establish fair trade practices and reduce barriers for American goods being sold into foreign countries.
He fast-tracked oil and mining projects to create jobs and make America self-reliant. He is also working to unleash American energy and lower costs for consumers.
President Trump is reshoring American manufacturing and bringing TRILLIONS of dollars in investments to our country.
This administration created an American Sovereign Wealth Fund.
Third Promise Kept: Supporting the Coalition
During the 2024 election, President Trump brought many new voices and voters into the Republican Party. From Joe Rogan, to Elon Musk, and to RFK, Jr., the Trump coalition was broad and strong. In his first 100 days, President Trump has followed through on his promises to all parts of the coalition that helped send him to the White House.
Americans with digital wallets turned out in droves to support President Trump and Senate Republicans. Following through on his promise to these voters, President Trump created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve of the digital assets forfeited to the United States as the result of criminal proceedings.
President Trump also appointed a “crypto czar,” and remains committed to ensuring the United States will become the crypto capital of the world.
The Make America Healthy movement gained a ton of momentum during the 2024 campaign cycle. In less than 100 days, this administration has already banned the use of multiple artificial dyes in our food. A huge win for MAHA and parents all across the country!
President Trump also selected one of the most unique cabinets in history. By doing this, he has ensured that all voices and groups in the Trump-GOP coalition will be heard on a regular basis. Notably, President Trump’s cabinet would not have been able to be confirmed without the strong Republican Senate majority you all helped deliver last November.
That’s only a few of the wins from President Trump so far, but each of these wins puts Republicans in a stronger position ahead of the 2026 midterms. And there are still many more days and victories to come! Tell me what your favorite Trump win is on X - I’m @JessAnderson2.
