Trump's First Hundred Days: Thunder Run To Victory—And It's Only Started
When FDR took office as President in January, 1932, there was a huge financial crisis going on, and Roosevelt and his “Brains Trust” had a lot of new ideas, so with the help of Congress, he did a LOT in the first 100 days of his Administration, and ever since then, people have been watching what Presidents do during that period.
President Trump has just passed the 100 day mark, and we can have a look at what he’s achieved. First of all, let me say that I don’t care if he solves the problems of the Middle East, the War in Ukraine, or brings either Greenland or Canada under the American flag.
No one else did any of that either. What I want a President Trump 2.0 to do is protect the border, deport illegals, and stop governmental discrimination against white Americans, whether you call this discrimination DEI, CRT, Affirmative Action or (one-sided) Civil Rights Enforcement. This is stuff he has done and is doing.
Trump and his advisors have been hitting hard and fast, and keeping some promises. They planned hard during the Biden (or whoever was running things) Administration. In fact, according to Bloomberg Law, when Trump advisor Stephen Miller turned in his White House ID badge in January of 2021, he said “I’ll see you in four years.”
Almost immediately, Miller and a cadre of loyalists set about devising a flurry of actions and orders they’d unleash if the 45th president was able to mount a comeback.
The fine print was later drawn up in a nondescript building in West Palm Beach, the nerve center of Trump’s 2024 campaign and, eventually, the transition. A floor-to-ceiling likeness of Trump — bearing the words “Welcome to the Thunderdome” — covered one wall. The team repackaged some of Trump’s first-term priorities to make them more likely to become entrenched. And they were girded for legal fights they expected, if not sought — in part thanks to the work of conservative groups founded by Miller and other Trump allies after his 2020 election loss.
That preparation, described by people familiar with the process, enabled what has been a defining feature of the first 100 days of Trump’s second term: A breakneck speed that is both one of the administration’s most effective tools and most glaring vulnerabilities.

By vulnerabilities, they mean the economic uncertainty of tariffs, et cetera, but whether those are successful or not, they’re a symbol of an Administration that’s on the American side.
From Michael Malice’s Twitter Feed, here are some examples of Trump successes:
January 24th, Day 5: Deportation Flights Begin.
January 27th, Day 8: Restoring America’s Fighting Force, Whitehouse.gov
Feb 2, Day 14: Tom Homan: Border Crossings Down 93% In Two Weeks
Feb 6, Day 18: Trump administration sues Chicago, state of Illinois over sanctuary laws — and vows more lawsuits to come
Feb 12, Day 24, DOJ announces lawsuit against New York, Hochul and state AG James over ‘sanctuary’ status
April 8, Day 79: More than 900K migrants who entered US with Biden-era CBP One app told to ‘self-deport’
And most recently,
April 28, Day 99: More than 100 attorneys opt to leave DOJ's civil rights division, top official says
That last part is about Trump using Civil Rights law to protect whites and Asians from discrimination—and NOT using Disparate Impact logic to attack police departments for doing their jobs.
If we have anything to complain about, it might be that Trump doesn't’ seem to feel strongly about suppressing legal immigration, which just displaces a better class of Americans:
And of course, if Trump is going to admit legal immigrants—and refugees—he should consider where the refugees are coming from:
Trump has set his foot on the doctrine of Disparate Impact (which broadly says that if minorities do worse on standardized test than whites, it must be the test’s fault) with an Executive Order:
As delegated by Executive Order 12250 of November 2, 1980 (Leadership and Coordination of Nondiscrimination Laws), the Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies to the extent they contemplate disparate-impact liability.
(b) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General, in coordination with the heads of all other agencies, shall report to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy:
(i) all existing regulations, guidance, rules, or orders that impose disparate-impact liability or similar requirements, and detail agency steps for their amendment or repeal, as appropriate under applicable law; and
(ii) other laws or decisions, including at the State level, that impose disparate-impact liability and any appropriate measures to address any constitutional or other legal infirmities.
RESTORING EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND MERITOCRACY, April 23, 2025
To quote the Bloomberg Law article above.
“We’re setting records right now — we’re getting more things approved than any president has ever done in the first 100 days; it’s not even close,” Trump said in an April 8 speech. “And we’re going to continue that way, if not more so.”
There was a recent election in Canada, and the people who voted to keep the Liberal Government in power may be regretting their votes. I don’t personally know anyone who voted for Trump who regrets it.

This is a great start. Now the executive orders must turn into legislation and into draining the liquidity from the left sinecure and patronage network. I would think that the merchant caste of oligarchs would be eager to help permanently dismantle disparate impact and ultimately the entire civil rights regime.
On the latter we must be measured. This is far from perfect and complete, but it is a great start. If anything, it shows that a large number of counter-elites understand the nature and gravity of the problems. We must support every positive move and gesture. Ideally, if the tariffs harm the economy, they can do a new new deal that employs the historic American nation to radically ramp up the deportation operations and also take the jobs of the deported invaders. There is a lot of room for creativity.
Carpe Diem and Mars Exulti!
"Victory"? Really? I expected better than Trump fanfare from WP.
