Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Six Key Moments from Trump's First 100 Days Back in Office
Caption: Six Key Moments from Trump's First 100 Days Back in Office. ONE: Power Over the Courts Just three weeks into his new term, Vice-President JD Vance sparked headlines by posting: ”Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power” The statement triggered intense debate, challenging a two-century-old cornerstone of American democracy and signalling Trump's push to expand executive authority. TWO: Musk’s “Chainsaw” Agenda At the Conservative Political Action Conference, Elon Musk, dressed in black, received a gold chainsaw from Argentina’s President Javier Milei, symbolising their shared mission: cutting government bureaucracy Since then, Musk’s team has slashed programs across federal agencies, shutting down USAID and gutting the Department of Education. THREE: Economic Gamble Backfires Trump’s promises to cut costs and protect American industry initially thrilled voters and Wall Street But his new tariffs have driven up inflation, raised mortgage rates, dampened consumer confidence, and pushed unemployment higher. Experts warn the economy could slip into recession. FOUR: Crackdown on Immigration Illegal border crossings have dropped to a four-year low, but Trump’s hardline immigration policies are sparking controversy Foreign students, even permanent residents, have been detained amid campus protests and civil rights groups fear due process is being ignored in aggressive new enforcement actions. FIVE: Harvard’s Bold Legal Fight Harvard University took a stand by suing the Trump administration over its freezing of billions in federal grants The White House claims it acted due to campus antisemitism but critics see it as an attack on academic freedom and elite institutions viewed as too liberal. SIX: Dismantling Diversity Initiatives After a tragic air collision over the Potomic River, Trump blamed federal diversity hiring programs without evidence. This marked a broader effort: ordering the end of diversity and equity (DEI) initiatives across government while targeting private companies and universities accused of promoting "illegal DEI" policies.
