Trump’s First 100 Days: An Opinion
May 2, 2017
Here ye, here ye, 100 days have passed for President Donald Trump. Many people thought that he would not win the election. Others thought that he would get crushed by Hillary Clinton. Trump defied the odds that were against him. He won the election by a crushing electoral college landslide. He convinced the major swing states to be in his favor. Americans were in shock and outraged because of this. This made me angry because people could not get over the one thing that they could easily change at the end of his term.
For his first one hundred days, he had listed pledges that he would try to accomplish. He only managed to complete 10 out of the 38 total pledges. President Trump upset many people with his actions that he has chosen so far. I believe that the travel ban was a prejudiced idea when brought out and it upset many people. His cabinet member choices were either liked by the people or hated.
Throughout these first one hundred days, the United States has gained and lost international relations with many countries. To me Trump’s idea to construct a wall for the American-Mexican border was very flawed. I really feel like that we may reenter the Korean War. This personally would be very bad. I would most likely be drafted due to the need for more soldiers to go to war. This would cause pandemonium for the rest of the U.S. too.
Trump may use corporate America for personal gain. That is not a good look for him at all. I am hoping that sooner or later his “fake news” view changes for the good. I am tired of him saying “fake news” to many credited and discredited news stations. Another bad thing is that Trump may be influencing far-right radio host Alex Jones and others into believing one-sided information. Also, I believe that he should really think before his speaks and filter what comes out of his mouth. I feel this would help him if he were to get reelected in the future.
On the other hand, the bad in people always has a good side to them. In my opinion, I feel that President Trump will fix the illegal immigration issues with a well thought out plan. Also, I believe that Trump will fix our foreign policy issues with other countries. Plus, Trump will continue the fight to end national and global terrorism like ISIS. His views on war with others is good. Trump will stand up for America and stop foreign countries from hurting us. He will continue to make trades with countries that would benefit us. I believe that he should restore the financial and political corruption that plagues America. I find him worthy of my list of favorite Presidents of All Time. He surely will make the list, but he will not be number one.
In summation, he still has three more years left of his term to let the people see if he will truly “Make America Great Again.”
