President Trump will travel to Michigan this week for a rally to celebrate his achievements during his first 100 days in office, while he looks forward to the next 100 days, with plans for an aggressive continuation of his policies, including more Executive Orders, and a promise of “torpedoes” that will surprise his opponents.
At the rally in Michigan, the President will highlight what he considers to be the main successes of his first 100 days in office: his economic policies, deportations of illegals, foreign-policy changes, and the work of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut waste in the federal government.
One official who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity described the first 100 days as “like living in a dreamscape.”
The official went on to explain that there will be more to come, including “torpedoes under the water,” which will include more Executive Orders designed to further Trump’s agenda. President Trump has so far signed 137 Executive Orders during the first months of his second term, more than half the 220 he signed between 2017 and 2021, during his first presidency.
Another official said the President would use his next 100 days to focus on peace talks and trade deals.
At Pope Francis’s funeral on Saturday, President Trump was pictured meeting with President Zelensky of Ukraine at the Vatican for their first face-to-face meeting since their disastrous encounter in the Oval Office.
“We discussed a lot one on one. Hoping for results on everything we covered,” Zelensky said of the meeting.
“Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out. Very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results.”
Meanwhile, US envoys have been meeting with representatives of the Russian and Iranian regimes in the hope of secure major agreements to bring an end to the war in Ukraine and limit Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
Next month, the President plans to visit Saudia Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. In an interview with Time Magazine on Friday, he said he would be willing to meet with Iran’s leaders directly if it helped secure a new nuclear deal.
President Trump’s flagship tariff policy is expected to bring dozens of foreign nations to the negotiating table to hammer out new terms for trade with the US, to avoid punitive impositions on exports.
A deal with China, the main target of the tariffs, remains elusive at present; although President Trump has expressed his optimism that one will be struck soon.
