This week, President Trump, a benchmark, marked the 100th day of the second term, who is generally seen as the first impression of an administration.

The artificial but permanent milestone has its roots in the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt. Within months after taking office in 1933, he signed dozens of draft laws and executive regulations that contributed to alleviating the country's financial crisis and motivating the new deal.

The first 100 days of Roosevelt were so productive that the presidents have since been evaluated for their early achievements and missteps. But the first 100 days can only tell us so much.

“Look at Abraham Lincoln … The union literally collapsed during this time and it is now considered one of our greatest presidents,” said Julian Zelizer, professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, to NPRS Here & now in 2021.

While the first 100 days of the rest of the term of office of a president do not necessarily determine, you can have priorities, successes and problems. And it can be a useful check-in to see how the early actions of a president compares with the predecessors compared to his own campaign promise compared to the predecessors compared to the predecessors.

Trump made several records in office in his first 100 days, but the speed of his actions also underlines the fragility to rely on the presidents' measures in order to cement core policy.

A hundred days later you will find a look at where the second Trump administration is on 10 most important benchmarks.

Executive Order: 142

According to the Federal Registers and American PresidentCy Project, President Trump has signed 142 Executive Orders since January 20.

Trump signed 37 Executive Orders in office in the first week (without other executives such as memorandum and proclamations). At the end of March, he issued his 100th order and exceeded Roosevelt's record of 99 in 100 days.

According to the American PresidentCy Project: reducing the federal government, foreign policy and defense, immigration and border security, energy and natural resources as well as tariffs in several main categories.

Some of Trump's executive regulations – including freezing foreign aid and the ban on transgender troops from military service – are temporarily blocked by courts if complaints have an effect. The Supreme Court will hear arguments about its order in May to revoke citizenship.

Biden orders reversed: over 100

Executive orders can be lifted or changed by future presidents. Many of Trump's early executivations focused on reversing that of his predecessor, the former President Joe Biden.

Within a few hours after his inauguration, Trump had lifted 78 from Bidens Executivations, mainly with climate change, covid-19 pandemic and diversity, justice and inclusion. Since then he has revoked additional bidding orders for the registration of voters and a census.

According to the American PresidentCy Project, Trump had commissioned primary presidential commands from mid-April 111 to attribute all to five of the bidding years.

This is remarkable because bidges in the change in orders from the first Trump government productive the project said in 2021 at Bidens 100-day mark that “no recent president has recorded the instructions of a predecessor as often as Biden reversed” and 76 such examples.

“Biden's record setting was slightly exceeded by Trump 2.0,” writes it, adding that the pattern of reversal refers to the “fragility of the president's abandonment of the president's guidelines for the institutionalization of core policy goals”.

Bills signed in law: 5

For a future president, it is more difficult to overthrow legislation in contrast to executive regulations, which means that it is a way to measure the long -term effects of a president on the country.

Trump only signed five law templates, starting with the Riley Act sheet, which the congress passed shortly before he took office. The others were a Stopgap Financing Act and three resolutions of the Congress Review Act, which raised the rules of bidea era.

According to History.com, he broke George W. Bush's record low of seven in 2001 in 2001.

In contrast, Trump signed 28 laws in the first 100 days of his first term in 2017. In his first 100 days, Biden signed 11 legal bills, especially his Coronavirus relief package of 1.9 trillion dollars.

Law: over 200

Many measures of the Trump government – not only the orders of the executive – were contested in court, in particular those who were questioned on the procedure against immigration and the efforts to reduce the federal employees in connection with the reduction of federal members.

Many are in the floating when decisions and appeals take place, which makes it difficult to provide a final number of cases.

A legal dispute from only the security insurance counts 210 legal challenges, including four, which are closed, while a legal blanket lists at least 258.

Approval rating: 42%

Trump's approval rate is 42%, compared to 45% in March, as can be seen from an NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist survey published on Tuesday.

During his first term, Trump's approval rate never rose over 44%. According to an NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist survey, he left an approval rate of 38%in 2021. Almost half of the respondents – 47% – said Trump would be remembered as one of the worst presidents in history.

In contrast, Biden dropped his first 100 days with an approval rate of 53%, which has been the highest since taking office.

However, this support was entirely according to partisans – 93% of the Democrats approved his performance compared to only 12% of Republicans – and dunning during his presidency. According to a survey by NPR/PBS News/Marist, Biden left the office with an approval of 42%.

Page: 39, plus hundreds of January 6, January 6th

According to the Ministry of Justice, Trump has published pardon for 39 named persons and companies since the Ministry of Justice was accepted.

One of Trump's first acts as President was to give anyone who was convicted of crimes in connection with the storms of the US Capitol on January 6th to give a “complete, complete and unconditional forgiveness”.

The move apologized for around 1,500 accused, of whom dozens of prior criminal records had.

This proclamation also converted the sentences of 14 people who were charged with the 6th January – everyone was connected to the Swiss Swiss Cots and proud boys, extremist groups that planned the elements of the attack.

This pardon came in Trump's second term. In his first term, Trump only issued a forgiveness until August 2017 half a year after taking office. In April 2022, Biden issued his first forgiveness for more than a year in his presidency.

Federal sites: tens of thousands

A trademark of Trump's second term was his focus on the tightening of the federal employees by creating the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge).

The White House office, which is conducted by Elon Musk, has effectively broken down several agencies, granted access to several sensitive data systems and the tens of thousands of federal workers arise.

The press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, said in February that 75,000 federal employees had taken the first of two “fork in the street” purchase.

But it is difficult to determine how many federal employees have left their work, either through layoffs or of your choice.

Mass layouts were carried out by chance that some employees were later stopped or their dismissals were reversed through various legal challenges. And in 100 days there is hardly any evidence that supports the officials' claims that Doge Agencies saves, as NPR reports.

Immigration: 7.180 March border crossings

Trump's approach to immigration was another determining characteristic of his term in office because it increases the border enforcement and mass shifts.

The US customs and border protection said that the month of March had only 7,180 south -west border crossings, the lowest number of history and a dramatic decline in the monthly average of the past four years, 155,000.

The border crossings of the southwestern border were already a downward trend in January when Trump died after an increase in 2023.

Immigration was an important focus of Trump's campaign in which he had sworn to carry out the largest deportation program in US history. Since then, his administration has arrested, detained and deported immigrants with and without legal status – if not without setback, also from the Supreme Court.

Customs: average effective rate of 28%

Trump has also threatened, enacted and delayed a number of tariffs for goods from countries worldwide, with the following uncertainty inflamed the global markets and the fears of recession at home.

The Trump administration has issued a basic tariff of 10% for all imported goods and 25% tariffs for steel, aluminum, cars and auto parts. In addition, country -specific tariffs for China, Canada and Mexico and “mutual” tariffs were negotiated with dozens of other countries until the beginning of July.

From mid-April, according to the Yale budget laboratory, US consumers have an average effective tariff rate of 28%-the highest, since 1901.

Inflation: 2.4% in March

Trump promised to “end” inflation on the campaign path from day 1. It was a problem in the entire bidet management and achieved a 40-year-old high of 9%in June 2022, which was tightened by problems of the supply chain in connection with the Covid 19 pandemic and the Russia Ukraine War.

However, one hundred days in inflation remains a problem. The annual inflation rate fell to 2.4% in March and reached a low of six months. However, economists warn that the relief of short duration could be because the consequences of Trump's trade war will probably increase prices in the coming months.
