The First 100 Days of President Donald Trump

There is no doubt the 2016 presidential election was long, grueling, and, at times, seemed as though it would never end. On Wednesday, the nation woke up hungover from the 2016 presidential election and in a state of utter disbelief as news circulated of Donald Trump’s election victory. Trump supporters reveled in the fact their candidate, who had been a long shot from the beginning, had done the unthinkable and beat the Clinton machine. For Hillary supporters who had waited for the day she would break the glass and become the first female president; November 8th was disheartening, to say the least.

Bewilderment loomed over the day as people tried to make sense of what had just happened and what exactly a Trump presidency would look like for America. Trump will take office on January 20, 2017, and he will enter the White House with the GOP controlling both the House and the Senate. The last time Republicans won control of both Congress and the White House was in 1928 when Herbert Hoover beat Al Smith. For the GOP, this is a resounding victory and one to be savored, but now the real work begins. While Americans will take the next few days to make sense of the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, Trump and his team are already working to lay the foundation of his first 100 days in office.

During the first 100 days in the Trump White House, Trump is planning on repealing Obamacare, tearing up the Iran Nuclear deal, and withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It is apparent that Trump’s goals for his first 100 days are lofty and will require a lot of help from his party in Congress; however, it is safe to say that Trump’s resolve and ability to get things done in Washington should not be underestimated. After all, Trump won the presidency while pollsters, analysts, and his opponent had written him off.

With Congress’ approval rating is currently at 11% the only real direction to go is up and they will have roughly two years to work together with Trump in order to prove a solid ROI to voters who took a chance and decided it was time to drain the swamp. There is little argument over the fact that Trump brings a fresh perspective to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Making history on November 8th as the first president to be elected without military or government experience, Trump will be bringing his skills as a businessman to Washington and is preparing for a serious overhaul of politics as usual in the nation’s capitol. A true Washington outsider, Trump sold the nation on the idea of America being run like a company by a president who was not tied to special interest groups. Now it’s time for Trump to step up, act presidential, and bring the nation together as he works to fulfill his biggest campaign promise yet – to make America great again.
