As president, Trump continued to tout his achievements in the context of a short temporal window. At a campaign-style rally in Nashville, Tennessee in mid-March 2017, he claimed that “we have done far more, I think maybe more than anybody’s done in this office in 50 days. That I can tell you.” A month later, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, he told a crowd that “no administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days.” He offered a similar tribute relative to the standard landmark: “I truly believe that the first 100 days of my administration has been just about the most successful in our country’s history.”49
In light of these promises and claims, it is worth reviewing the actions and achievements of the new administration during the first hundred days—tracking the legislative, administrative, and public presidencies.
