A president’s first 100 days is always an important milestone to any new president. It shows what the country will see in policy changes, how the new president will govern, and show us what the new president will hope to accomplish, and how many of his campaign promises they will keep. The first 100 gives us a glimpse into how the new administration will function for the next four years.

 When it was candidate Trump and not President, Mr. Trump had ran his campaign on rebuilding infrastructure, bringing back jobs, building a wall, and rebuilding the military. Pulling out of the TPP was one of the first campaign promises that the president fulfilled. If the President also gets his budget passed, there will be a heavy increase in military spending also fulfilling another campaign promise. President Trump also has had many of his cabinet positions confirmed by the Senate, while leaving many other post While he continues to face much resistance from the Democrats and even some Republicans, there is a suspicion Trump is settling in to the job.  Questions remain on the Russian influence within his campaign,  if the new health care bill will make it through the Senate, and, if not, what does that mean for tax reform.  The country will know much more soon, one thing we know is that it won’t be too predictable.
