The first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency are scheduled to begin with his inauguration on January 20, 2017, as the 45th President of the United States with Mike Pence as Vice President; the 100th day of his presidency will be April 29, 2017. The first 100 days of a presidential term took on symbolic significance during Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration, and the period is considered a benchmark to measure the early success of a president. Before the end of the election, Trump initially announced his 100-day plan in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Trump's first presidential appointment named Stephen Bannon as his "senior counselor and chief West Wing strategist" and Reince Priebus as Chief of Staff, with a mission "as equal partners to transform the federal government."
Many, if not most, Americans consider Trump's presidency illegitimate as such, given that he was defeated in the popular vote by close to 3 million votes (or a margin of 2 percent) by Hillary Clinton, and was furthermore greatly aided in the election by the cyberwarfare and espionage of Russia, which aimed to install Trump as president, in hopes that he would act favorably to their interests and ease the crippling sanctions on their economy levied by the international community in response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine and Crimea, according to official reports issued by 17 different U.S. Intelligence agencies.
Pledges
Trump has pledged to do the following in his first 100 days:
- appoint judges "who will uphold the Constitution" and "defend the Second Amendment"
- construct a wall on the southern U.S. border and limit immigration "to give unemployed Americans an opportunity to fill good-paying jobs"
- re-assess trade agreements with other nations and "crack down" on companies "that send jobs overseas"
- repeal and replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly called the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare)
- remove federal restrictions on energy production
- push for an amendment to the United States Constitution imposing term limits on Congress
