The first 100 days of the second Donald Trump presidency began on January 20, 2025, the day Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States.[1] The first 100 days of a presidential term took on symbolic significance during Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term in office, and the period is considered a benchmark to measure the early success of a president. Trump is expected to issue dozens of executive actions.[2][3][4] The 100th day of his second presidency will end on April 30, 2025.

Upon taking office, Trump signed a series of executive orders. Among these were decisions that withdrew the U.S. from the World Health Organization and Paris Agreement,[5] rolled back recognition of any genders outside male and female,[6] granted TikTok a 75-day pause before it would be banned, and declared a national emergency on the southern border that would trigger the deployment of armed forces.[7]

Inauguration

[edit]
Trump takes his second oath of office, administered by Chief Justice John Roberts in the Capitol rotunda.

The first 100 days of the second presidency of Donald Trump began during the second inauguration of Donald Trump with the conversion of Whitehouse.gov from the Biden Administration version to the second Trump Administration version at 12:00 pm on January 20, 2025.[1] This was the fifth presidential online portal transition and the third to transition social media accounts such as Twitter.[citation needed] As Trump took the oath of office, the official @POTUS Twitter account switched to President Trump with Joe Biden's previous tweets archived under @POTUS46Archive.[citation needed]

Executive orders

[edit]

Upon taking office, Trump quickly signed a series of executive orders described as a "shock and awe" campaign that tested the limits of executive authority and many of which drew immediate legal challenges.[8][9] His executive orders included withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization, rolling back protections for transgender people,[6] freezing new regulations and hiring for federal workers, reversing the withdrawal of Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terror, reversing sanctions on Israeli settlers, reversing an executive order that "sought to reduce the risks of artificial intelligence", reversing the Family Reunification Task Force,[10] issuing a mass pardon of nearly all January 6 rioters including Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio[11][12] while commuting sentences for many members of far-right political violence organizations Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, declaring all Americans are now legally born Male or Female, designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, attempting to end birthright citizenship for descendants of illegal immigrants, and declaring a national emergency on the southern border that would trigger the deployment of armed forces.[13]

Apart from new executive orders, 78 executive orders of the Biden administration were rescinded on the first day in office.[14]

On January 21, 2025, Trump granted Ross Ulbricht a full and unconditional pardon.[15]


On January 23, 2025, Trump signed an executive order to declassify files concerning the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, his brother Robert Francis Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. [16]
