Washington (AP) – weeks from the president Donald Trump Returned to the office was a whirlwind of activity to show the Americans that his administration is tirelessly prosecute.
With a congress in accordance with the Republican, Trump had a free hand to start revising the federal government and upsetting foreign policy.
While Trump strikes his 100th day in power on Tuesday, his footprint is everywhere. But the long -term impact is often not clear.
Some of the decrees of the Republican President are declarations of intention or bases to achieve what has not yet been done. Day 1, for example, he declared an energy emergency to stimulate production. But he does not promise a gain until next year, when he told voters to count on a sharp drop in their public service bills.
Trump’s goals sometimes conflict with each other. He promised both to reduce the cost of living and to impose prices on foreign products, which will most likely increase prices. Other problems languish.
It is completely unstable, it is to know if Trump ran his dashboard legally. He faced proceedings on some of his actions, which means a large part of what he did could be canceled while the cases take place.
Here is an overview where the progress of its promises is located:
He promised to be a price
Inflation has dropped since a peak of 9.1% in 2022. It was 3% in January, the month that Trump was inaugurated and 2.4% in March. “We have already resolved inflation,” said Trump. But the federal reserve warned that the president’s pricing plans will most likely lead to higher price by taxing foreign imports.
In addition, it is unlikely that Trump can “reimburse all our debts”. His tax reduction plans would reduce income to cover the country’s invoices. In addition, he made a similar commitment in 2016, then the national debt went bankrupt during his first presidency.
He repressed illegal immigration
Trump has clearly progressed on a signature promise to control the border.
The number of people trying to cross illegally in the United States from Mexico fell sharply in President Joe Biden last year, against a summit of 249,740 in December 2023 at 47,324 in December 2024. Under Trump, the figures spent only 8,346 in February and 7,181 in March.
We do not know if Trump corresponds to the aggressive deportation file of Biden last year – the figures are not yet in place.
Meanwhile, immigration and customs application stop a large number of people across the country. Many of those who claim their innocence have been expelled without regular procedure. The case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is one of those who are suspended in balance. He was expelled to a Salvadorian prison despite no criminal record and hear to know if he is a member of a gang, as the administration is claimed.
He promised to reduce energy bills
In the campaign, Trump gave voters a commitment that they will be able to judge by themselves, simply by looking at their public service bills. He promised to halve their energy costs to three -quarters in 12 to 18 months.
Sometimes he covered: “If it doesn’t work, you will say:” Oh, well, I voted for him, and he always dropped him a lot. “”
Other times, he has not covered. “As part of my plan, we will halve the prices of energy and electricity,” he told a hill in Mint, North Carolina, in September.
He brought the prices
Trump did not hide his tenderness for the prices or his conviction that other countries tore the United States from international trade. “I will impose prices through most foreign manufacturing goods,” he said in the campaign.
He followed, a lot of time, but with frequently changing warnings.
Trump started by degenerating Prices on Canada, Mexico and ChinaOstensibly as a punishment for authorizing fentanyl in the United States, then he announced even more taxes on foreign imports on April 2, part of what he described as “Liberation day.” Trump withdrew from certain parts of this plan, choosing to Continue negotiations insteadBut he left prices on China up to 145%.
The stock market has been launched high import taxes and erratism in their application. Trump showed more tolerance for the chaos on the market than during his first mandate.
He did not end a war as promised
During the rally after the rally last summer, Trump promised peace between Russia and Ukraine simply by winning the elections. “Before even arriving at the Oval Office, shortly after winning the presidency, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine,” he told a conference at the National Guard Association in Detroit in August. At that time, he had been doing the same wish at least since May. It did not happen.
Sometimes he developed the promise differently, saying that he would finish war in one day. This day did not come.
He has promised ambitious tax reductions
Trump has tested the limits of what he can do by decree, but he will need the congress to obtain his promised tax reductions.
He is committed to eliminating taxes on Advice, overtime and social payments and said that he would make the expiration permanent Tax reductions He promulgated during his first mandate.
None of this has happened. And with major rates that start, the tax burden is on the right track to get worse before it improves.
But the president works with the Republicans at the Congress for pass on legislation. With thin majorities of GOP in the Chamber and the Senate, it could be difficult to obtain almost unanimous support within the Party for what Trump calls for a “big bill.”
He went after pillars of education
Trump’s threats to stifle billions of dollars in taxes for higher education institutions flow from multiple campaign promises – to combat anti -Semitism on campuses, to take programs of diversity, equity and inclusion and to rid of foreign student campuses that he considers hostile to American values.
After several other eminent schools reported their desire to comply with Trump’s requests, Harvard was held against pressure.
In response, Trump called to withdraw Tax exemption statusthreatened from preventing him from registering from foreign students – more than a quarter of his inscriptions – and frozen more than $ 2 billion in subsidies and contracts.
But such efforts extend far beyond Harvard. The Trump administration also goes after other universities and at least temporarily completed legal status Many foreign students in country schools.
… and pillars of culture
The president’s promised program against the “awakened” policy quickly swept away the government while the Dei programs for Biden years were interrupted and the references to the diversity of federal communications were purged.
This effort has been deeply extended to cultural institutions and far beyond the federal practices of Dei and Work.
At the Pentagon, in particular, Disordered revisionism ensued Like thousands of images on web pages and other online content have been reported for deletion. An image of the Gay Enola Bombardier of the Second World War was reported for the suppression – due to the “gays” – just like the materials paying tribute to the black war heroes and the navajo and the pioneer women. Most targeted materials have finally survived.
A Trump decree on the “restoration of truth and mental health to American history” prohibited federal money from Smithsonian programs which promote “an incorrect ideology”.
He promised to retreat the rights of transgender
Trump campaigned against the participation of transgender athletes in sports and against broader movements in society, in particular in the jurisdictions led by Democrats, to adapt to the opinions according to which gender is not intrinsically binary. He swore to take “transgender madness”.
As president, he signed decrees To ban transgender athletes from female and female teams. He also asked the Supreme Court to reign against the lower courts which blocked his attempt to withdraw transgender troops from the military.
DOGE? ‘I would love’
Last year, Elon Musk Trump launched On his idea of a government ministry of the government, which is responsible for having reduced the federal bureaucracy. “I would love it,” replied Trump.
The result was more practical than many imagined it. Musk started work directly for administration, bringing some of its allies. Loyalists have spread in federal agencies to access sensitive data, question career managers and put pressure for cuts.
The result was mixed. Trump and Musk managed to send shock waves through bureaucracy and push tens of thousands of employees, with more changes to come. However, significant savings have not materialized.
Musk lowered its targeted savings in the government’s cost to $ 150 billion after promising at least 1 dollars. We do not know if he will even reach the smallest objective. DOGE SURESTIME its results.
He promised to forgive the rioters of January 6, and he did
After A crowd of Trump supporters Descending on the American Capitol on January 6, 2021, he denounced “the odious attack” and said that he was “indignant by violence, anarchy and chaos”.
His air quickly changed. In the campaign, Trump celebrated rioters as “patriots” and “hostages” of the judicial system and promised: “I will sign their pardons day 1.” He did exactly that.
Around 1,500 people, including those who attacked police officers, Sorry received.
He left after environmental protections
As part of its promised efforts to promote the production of oil, natural gas and coal, Trump has signed decrees for this objective. But there is less than what meets the eye here.
An order revoked what Trump called an “electric vehicle mandate” from the Biden era, but there is none to revoke. He simply turned from a non -binding goal from Biden so that electric vehicles get married Half of new cars sold by 2030.
The order also seeks to end A federal exemption This allows California to eliminate the sale of gas cars by 2035. But Trump leaves the congress to adopt a law stripping the waiver, and this has not been done.
