Trump Celebrates 100 Days in Office with Rally in Michigan
WARREN, MICHIGAN — On April 29, former President Donald Trump marked his 100th day in office with a rally characterized by his signature campaign-style rhetoric. He highlighted a slew of executive orders, a reduction in federal workforce numbers, and increased deportations, featuring a video of migrants being sent to a high-security prison in El Salvador.
Returning to familiar themes, Trump engaged the audience, asking for their preference between the nicknames “Sleepy Joe” and “Crooked Joe” for President Joe Biden. Despite facing declining approval ratings, which recent polls estimated between 42% and 45%, Trump dismissed them as "fake," proclaiming his true rating would be in the 60s or 70s.
Throughout the rally, Trump made several contentious claims. He asserted he had “restored free speech,” a statement contradicted by free speech advocates who cited actions taken against dissent during his administration. He also claimed record low illegal border crossings, but data reveals this is a nuanced issue, with significant drops tied to various factors.
Addressing economic concerns, Trump claimed a drastic 87% decline in egg prices under his leadership, a claim only partially true for wholesale prices and not yet reflected at retail. He also mentioned falling gasoline prices, stating some states saw $1.98 per gallon, a figure proven inaccurate.
While touting auto industry investments, experts noted many announcements involved reallocating existing funds rather than new facilities. Further, Trump mentioned slashing billions in government waste, but reports indicate more modest savings.
Despite the celebratory tone, Trump’s rhetoric continues to stir debate, particularly around misinformation and the real impact of his policies. As the political landscape evolves, the implications of his statements remain a focal point for analysts and voters alike.
