Trump highlights ‘most historic’ 100 hours in office in new video
He hit the ground running.
President Trump touted the first 100 hours of his historic second term in a new video highlighting the start of what he has dubbed the “golden age” of America.
The 47th commander in chief shared the highlight reel on his social platforms Saturday afternoon, with the two-minute clip showcasing various moments since he was sworn in on Monday as a snippet of his inauguration speech played.
“THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA BEGINS RIGHT!” Trump captioned the video, which praised the president for “the most historic 100 hours in American history.”
The video ended as a fraction of the dozens of executive orders he signed this week were listed, including his actions to secure the southern border, direct mass raids to deport illegal migrants and slash government waste to support his “America First” agenda.
Trump, 78, kicked off his avalanche of Day 1 actions by signing more executive orders on his first day in office than any other president in history, according to the White House.
He signed 26 executive orders on Inauguration Day, surpassing the 15 that former President Joe Biden signed on his first day in 2021.
The flurry of executive actions includes revoking 78 of Biden’s orders, withdrawing the US from the Paris Climate Accord, forestalling government censorship, safeguarding free speech, forcing government workers to return to their offices in person full-time and implementing a federal hiring freeze.
The president also declared a national emergency at the US-Mexico border, restricted refugees and asylum, designated cartels and organized migrant gangs as foreign terrorist organizations, loosened restrictions on ICE deportation raids and deployed 1,500 active-duty troops to the southern border.
Trump also made good on his campaign pledge to pardon approximately 1,500 individuals convicted in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot — and he commuted the sentences of 14 others, including Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes.
Other executive actions nixed birthright citizenship, established the Department of Government Efficiency (DODGE), killed the wind energy industry, stripped Biden’s attempt to ban gas appliances and made it easier to fire federal workers.
Trump also ordered the declassification and release of long-secret files on the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
He concluded his first week back in office bysigning a pair of executive orders aimed at preventing taxpayer money from being used on abortions.
