The President's 100-day speech was reminiscent of his election campaign – with repeated jabs and nicknames towards his predecessor Joe Biden, rival Kamala Harris, and those he calls "radical left-wing extremists".

He again uttered the lie that he actually won the 2020 presidential election and attacked the media and opinion polls.

Trump, not unexpectedly, placed particular emphasis on his migration policy with a reduced number of migrants now crossing the border into the USA.

We've only just begun, you haven't seen anything yet.

Trump then had a video played showing accused gang members having their hair shaved off as they are deported from the USA to prison in El Salvador – accompanied by dystopian music and cheers from the audience.

What the world has seen over the past 14 weeks is a revolution of common sense, said Trump.

He praised, among many other things, his trade war against China and the rest of the world.

Instead of putting China first, I put Michigan and the USA first, said Trump in the approximately 90-minute long speech.

From the Democrats' side came calls for Republicans to intervene after what they call Trump's "100 days of chaos".

We are in a crisis moment, this president is out of control. The question is not what Democrats will do, but what Republicans in Congress will do, said Senator Cory Booker at a press conference, citing among other things Trump's trade war and weak opinion polls.

Republican Donald Trump took office on January 20 for his second term as President of the USA. The controversial Trump has, during his first hundred days, focused on, among other things, deportations of undocumented migrants, cuts in the state apparatus, global tariffs, promises to annex Greenland and Canada, and attempts to end the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.

Currently, 45.2 percent have a positive view of Trump, while 51.3 percent do not.

Furthermore, 45.2 percent of Americans believe the President is doing a good job, and 52.4 percent believe he is not.

The proportion of citizens who think the USA is developing in the right direction has increased by over 11 percentage points since Trump took office and now stands at 39.6 percent.
