The first 100 days of the second Donald Trump presidency began on January 20, 2025, the day Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States. The first 100 days of a presidential term took on symbolic significance during Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term in office, and the period is considered a benchmark to measure the early success of a president. The 100th day of his second presidency will end on April 30, 2025.

The first 100 days of the second presidency of Donald Trump began during the second inauguration of Donald Trump. At noon on January 20, 2025, the content of Whitehouse.gov was switched from the Biden Administration version to the second Trump Administration version.[1] This was the fifth time the presidential website had switched between administrations and the third time switching control of social media accounts such as Twitter.[2][additional citation(s) needed] As Trump took the oath of office, the official @POTUS Twitter account switched to President Trump and Joe Biden's tweets were moved to @POTUS46Archive.[3][4]

Upon taking office, Trump quickly signed a series of executive orders described as a "shock and awe" campaign that tested the limits of executive authority and many of which drew immediate legal challenges.[5][6] They included executive orders to:
- Withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization[7]
- Roll back protections for transgender people and make it the official policy of the United States government that there are only two sexes, male and female[8] [9]
- Granted TikTok a 75-day pause before it would be banned[10]
- Freeze new regulations and hiring for federal workers[11]
- Reverse the withdrawal of Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terror[12]
- Reverse sanctions on Israeli settlers[13]
- Reverse an executive order that "sought to reduce the risks of artificial intelligence"[14]
- Reverse a previous order that created the Family Reunification Task Force[15]
- Pardon nearly all January 6 rioters, and commuting sentences for many members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers including Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes[16][17]
- Designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations[18]
- End birthright citizenship for descendants of illegal immigrants[19]
- Declare a national emergency on the southern border that would enable the deployment of armed forces[20]
- Revoke diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs[21]
Many of Trump's early executive orders rescinded ones of the Biden administration. There were 78 on the first day in office alone,[22] issuing more executive orders on his first day than any other president in history.[23] Four days into Trump's second term, analysis conducted by Time found that nearly two-thirds of his executive actions "mirror or partially mirror" proposals from Project 2025,[24] which was seconded with analysis from Bloomberg Government.[25]
On January 21, 2025, Trump granted Ross Ulbricht a full and unconditional pardon.[26]
On January 23, 2025, Trump signed an executive order to declassify files concerning the assassination of John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.[27] On January 23, 2025, Trump granted pardons to 23 anti-abortion protestors. Among the 23 pardoned were Lauren Handy and nine of her co-defendants, who were involved in the October 2020 blockade of a Washington, D.C., abortion clinic, and later convicted in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. [28][29]
On January 24, 2025, President Trump reinstated the Mexico City policy.[30]
Other early actions
Within two hours of his inauguration, he ordered the removal of the official portrait of General Mark A. Milley.[31]
On January 29, 2025, Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law, the first legislation of Trump’s second term.[32][33]

Reactions
Polling
On January 21, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 47% of adult Americans approve of Trump's performance as president, while 41% disapprove.[44] The poll also found that his pardons of people convicted of offenses related to the January 6 United States Capitol attack were unpopular.[45] CNN analyst Harry Enten interpreted the poll's findings as "a sign that the American people, at least initially, like what they are seeing."[46] On January 28, Reuters/Ipsos reported that Trump's approval rating decreased to 45%, with an increase to disapproval to 46%.[47] On January 29, Gallup polling found that Trump's 47% inaugural approval rating was historically low and similar to his 45% inaugural approval rating in his first term. He remained the only elected president with sub-50% inaugural approval ratings, and his latest 48% disapproval ratings were three percentage points higher than in 2017, marking a new high for inaugural disapproval ratings.[48]
