Neither the people nor Trump himself expected that he would be the 45th President of America. But, in a result that shocked more people than relieved, he became the first citizen 100 days ago. Let’s take a look at ‘important milestones’ of the Trump government.
The day Trump took the oath, Washington DC witnessed a protest that turned violent when the protesters were attacked with tear gas and stun grenades.
He falsely claimed about the number of people who had turned up for the inauguration day as compared to the previous President Barack Obama’s.
On day 4, Trump reinstated the “Global Gag Rule”. Under this rule, US federal funding was not allowed for NGOs that provide abortion counselling or referrals or expand abortion services. He also withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, backing from the trade agreement with several countries. His staff was banned from talking to the Press. He claims that the NATO is no longer obsolete.
He passed an executive order to move ahead with the construction of Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipeline. Although the project is supposed to increase job opportunities, it would directly affect the environment, But Trump, being the only global leader who doesn’t accept climate change to be real, couldn’t care less.
Trump government also resumed building a wall on the Mexico border. They passed a rule that suspended refugee arrivals into America. In the 100 days, he imposed a ban on travel visa that stopped several Middle Eastern and African countries from travelling to America. This ‘Muslim Ban’ was overturned by the court.
Transgenders are facing a tough time with the Trump presidency, which revoked the guidelines allowing transgender students to use bathrooms of their choice. Trump also claimed that Obama government was tapping the phones in Trump Tower, which was proved wrong. After the numerous ‘inappropriate statements’ he’s made about his daughter, Trump named Ivanka his secretary.
Recently, Trump authorised a missile strike against the Syrian regime and the MOAB that was targeted at IS militants in Afghanistan. In an interview, the President who promised to keep “America First” shared how he misses his ‘old life’ as he thought being a President would be ‘easier’.
