The First 100 Days: A Presidency in Fast-Forward

When Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, it wasn’t with a roadmap—it was with a list. Within hours, that list became law. Over 100 executive orders later, the landscape of American governance has shifted rapidly and deliberately. Institutions have been restructured, norms reversed, and foundational rights redrawn.

This series tracks the first 100 days of Trump’s second term—policy by policy, agency by agency. No opinion. No predictions. Just a straightforward account of what’s been signed, what’s been dismantled, and what that means for the country’s future.

Because when everything changes at once, it helps to take it step by step.

🗓️ Week 1: Promises Made

When Donald Trump campaigned in 2024, he didn’t just offer slogans—he made operational promises. His platform was blunt, sweeping, and targeted. By the time he returned to office in January 2025, those promises became the blueprint for his first 100 days.

Here’s what he pledged—and what those pledges were designed to do.

🔹 BORDER & IMMIGRATION

Finish the southern border wall using emergency powers and military support.
Mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, with a target of millions.
Reinstate “Remain in Mexico” and expand expedited removals.
End birthright citizenship through executive interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

🔹 ECONOMY & INFLATION

Cut gas and grocery prices by increasing domestic production and slashing environmental rules.
Universal 10% tariff on all imports—branded “Made in America Pricing.”
Eliminate income taxes for tipped workers and propose a broader tax overhaul.

🔹 CULTURE & IDENTITY

“Two genders only” policy across all federal documents, programs, and facilities.
Ban federal funding of any LGBTQ+ services or education.
Remove transgender people from military service.
Block gender-affirming care for minors and restrict related medical funding.

🔹 GOVERNMENT RESTRUCTURING

“Drain the Swamp 2.0” by purging “disloyal” federal employees via Schedule F.
Restructure the DOJ and the FBI to answer more directly to the president.
Create a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to monitor compliance and loyalty.

🔹 LAW AND ORDER

Increase ICE and CBP staffing, fund detention centre expansion.
Expand military support for law enforcement and create “federalised patrol zones.”
Revoke immunity for progressive prosecutors, and criminalise certain protest actions.

🔹 GLOBAL POLICY

Cut foreign aid unless aligned with “America First” values.
Prioritise bilateral trade deals over multilateral agreements.
Reopen energy partnerships with oil-producing nations while leaving climate pacts.

🔹 EDUCATION & DEI

Dismantle DEI programs in all federal agencies and grant recipients.
Ban Critical Race Theory and “gender ideology” in K–12 and university curricula.
Expand AI and patriotic education, including a reboot of the 1776 Commission.

Each of these pledges was designed to bypass long processes. Most of them were meant to be implemented not by legislation, but by executive order. The message was clear: reform wasn’t the goal—reversal was.
