The First 100 Days of Donald Trump – latest updates on the presidency’s first days

President Donald Trump’s second term is off to a historic start.
The President is wasting no time delivering on the promises he made to the American people. The President signed more executive orders on his first day in office than any other president in history.
Within the first 100 days of his second administration, President Trump has taken hundreds of executive actions to secure the border, deport criminal illegal immigrants, unleash American prosperity, lower costs, increase government transparency, and reinstitute merit-based hiring in the federal government.
The President has already secured over $1 trillion in historic new investments.

The Belvidere plant will start production of a new midsize truck in the next two years. The letter said company Chairman John Elkann had met last week with President Donald Trump before his inauguration on Monday.
