What Trump’s First 100 Days in Office Could Look Like
Donald Trump is a controversial figure in American history and politics. He has a lot of fans but also a huge number of Americans who do not agree at all with his policies. In his first term as President of the United States, his unconventional style and policies have created intense debate and division. Now, after he won the 2024 presidential elections, he is preparing for his second term as president and a lot of people are expecting him to continue what he started in his first term.
Even though Donald Trump is known for being a powerful leader, there are a lot of Americans who are still suffering because Kamala Harris didn’t manage to win the elections. His presidency from 2017 to 2021 left an incredible mark on the United States.
Trump’s administration is expected to make some big changes to the country’s economy, immigration system, and healthcare. His supporters believe these policies are necessary steps to restore American greatness. Admit it not, Trump’s presidency was felt not only within the United States but also on the global stage. His decisions reshaped America’s relationships with allies and “enemies”.
How would Trump approach key issues such as the economy, healthcare, immigration, and the environment? What would his foreign policy priorities be, and how might they affect global stability and security?
Let’s discover together what Trump’s first 100 days in office would look like!
Economy and Immigration
The economy is by far what helped carry Trump to a second term. Exit polls showed that Americans were not happy with the direction of the economy and the country overall, which is why it will most likely be a priority for Trump for the first 100 days in office.
Trump’s policies, such as removing taxes on tipped wages and slashing taxes, were appreciated by Americans and were some of the reasons why they chose to vote for him in the 2024 elections.
Recently, a memo from House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, reported by Axios’ Juliegrace Brufke, showed that House Republicans will focus on locking in tax cuts.
President Trump and his allies have already spoken about the ambitious plans they have for his first 100 days in office. He has promised that on Day 1 he will close the U.S. border with Mexico and launch the largest economic deportation in American history.
Another thing Trump promised is to resume energy exploration and offer tax breaks to oil, gas, and coal procedures. At his rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Trump said that he would cut all the energy prices in half, 50%, within one year from January 20.
Clearly, the president’s main goal is to resume where he left off after his first term in office.
Economic Revival
Trump’s economic policies are geared towards revitalizing the American economy, which he believes is crucial for maintaining the country’s global leadership. His plans include tax cuts, trade deals, and infrastructure investment.
Trump is aiming to stimulate economic growth and increase disposable income for American families, which would be great for our country’s economic future.
He also plans to renegotiate deals to ensure they are favorable to American workers. This includes putting pressure on countries like China to play fair in trade practices.
Let’s not forget about the massive infrastructure plan on the horizon, which aims to rebuild America’s roads, bridges, and public transportation systems. This initiative is expected to create millions of jobs and boost local economies.
Healthcare
Healthcare remains one of the main issues America has to deal with and Trump is determined to change the current system.
Trump’s administration plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with a totally new system that, he claims, will provide more choice and lower costs for Americans.
The re-elected President Trump also aims to lower prescription drug prices by allowing more competition and negotiation in the pharmaceutical industry.
Last but not least, improving healthcare services for veterans is another key focus, with plans to expand access to quality care and reduce wait times for medical appointments.
Foreign Policy
Trump’s foreign policy agenda is rooted in his “America First” philosophy, focusing on strengthening national security and asserting American interests globally:
- NATO and Defense Spending: Trump continues to push NATO allies to increase their defense spending, arguing that the burden of global security should not fall disproportionately on the United States.
- Middle East Peace: He plans to build on the Abraham Accords, aiming to broker more peace deals between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
- China: Trump’s approach to China remains tough, with plans to counter China’s growing influence and address issues such as intellectual property theft and unfair trade practices.
Deportation
In the first 100 days, President-elect Donald Trump wants to start deporting hundreds of thousands of people. People from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela will be deported, especially if they represent threats to public safety or national security.
Donald Trump is no stranger to taking a tough stance on immigration. During his previous term, he implemented policies such as the travel ban on several predominantly Muslim countries and the construction of a border hall with Mexico. This time, his plans are even more ambitious.
One of Trump’s moves will likely be to expand the travel ban. This action will target countries with high risk for terrorism, and it will affect travelers from these nations, making it harder for them to enter the U.S. Even though the policy aims to protect national security, it has been criticized. Unfortunately, it has a huge impact on families and individuals seeking refuge. It’s not easy at all for them to adapt to the new rules but Trump is very sure that this is the only
Another policy that is expected to be brought back is the controversial family separation policy at the U.S.-Mexico border. This policy, involved separating children from their parents if they crossed the border illegally. Critics argue that it’s inhumane and causes significant trauma to children.
The Trump Administration will also focus on removing individuals with criminal records, but this policy could also affect those without criminal histories, leading to fears and uncertainty within immigrant communities.
The H-1B visa program for skilled workers is also expected to suffer some changes. These changes aim to prioritize American workers but could have significant implications for industries that rely on foreign talent.
Public opinion on immigration is divided and some Americans support Trump’s ideas, while others view these policies as discriminatory and harmful to the nation’s values of diversity and inclusion.
A New Chapter
As Trump prepares to implement his 2024 agenda, America stands at a crossroads. His policies on immigration, the economy, healthcare, and foreign policy will shape the nation’s future. Even though he received a lot of support in the past few months, some people do not agree with Trump’s vision. Now, the decision has been made and we can just wait and see what happens with our country.
Let’s not forget that Kamala Harris’s campaign was a great success. Having a lot of famous figures by her side also contributed a lot to her success and amazing results. Although she didn’t manage to win the elections against Trump, she did an amazing job in a short time. Her influence will continue to be felt in the years to come.
Trump’s return to the presidency marks the beginning of a new chapter. His vision for America’s future promises significant changes.
