Trump touts ‘success’ in first 100 days in new ad
In addition to the television ad, the president has already appeared and spoken at a number of campaign rallies, despite his next election being more than three-and-a-half years away.
Supporters cheer as US President Donald Trump (L) pumps his fist at the end of his “Make America Great Again” rally at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky, March 20, 2017.
Some New Jersey residents say they are not impressed with the president so far.
“They are a disgrace”, he said.
The Trump re-election campaign launched the $1.5 million ad in response to claims in the media that he’s been slow to accomplish his goals.
Quite possibly the most important and consequential event of the First 100 Days was the nomination and confirmation of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Of 38 specific promises Trump made in his 100-day “contract” with voters – “This is my pledge to you” – he’s accomplished 10, mostly through executive orders that don’t require legislation, such as withdrawing the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
Trump highlighted his tough approach to immigration.
Asserting that the U.S. was “going up” and that too at a fast pace, he said American companies were doing better. Instead he insisted that “we need the wall to stop the drugs and the human trafficking” and “we’ll have the wall-don’t worry about it”.
At this stage of his presidency, Donald Trump is the least popular leader in modern US history – even if his core supporters still fully back him.
“For too long, politicians cared more about special interests than they did about a very successful future for all Americans”.
In one example of Trump’s impact on currency trading, average hourly volumes surged to $84 billion at 4 p.m. London time on January 31 after Trump and an adviser criticized USA trading partners for having currencies that are too weak, CLS data show. That will be catastrophic for the rest of the world which sees the pact as a deterrent against global warming. He says that in contrast, his administration has been delivering for the American people every day.
Trump also touched on some hot-button issues like his reluctance to name China a currency manipulator, explicitly telling the crowd that it would be unrealistic to ask for the nation’s help regarding North Korea while addressing the issue in the same breath.
Pence touted the Trump plan as “one of the largest tax cuts in American history”. Trump is just one of those special cases: “16 years ago we were thinking, ‘What’s the dumbest thing America could do?’ and then they did it!”
“Here are just some of our great achievements from the first 100-days and I will tell you in addition to that, we have built such strong foundations with the leaders of foreign countries”.
