We ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
President Trump celebrated the first 100 days of his second term with a fired-up rally in Michigan Tuesday night — where he boasted that his administration has done more for the country in three months than most do their entire presidencies.
“We’ve accomplished more in three months than most administrations accomplish in four years or even eight years,” Trump, 78, declared.
“And we’re just getting started.”
“Believe me, we’re just getting started.”
The president touted his administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, economic policies and cost-cutting initiatives throughout his 90-minute speech.
“Under President Trump, America is a dumping ground for criminals no longer,” Trump proclaimed.
“They’re not even trying to come in,” Trump boasted of illegal border-crossers, crediting his sweeping initiatives to seal up the US-Mexico boundary and swiftly deport criminal aliens.
The president unveiled a dramatic video of deported migrants — alleged members of gangs Tren de Aragua and MS-13 — arriving at El Salvador’s notorious “hellhole” megaprison during his campaign-rally-like remarks at the Macomb Sports and Expo Center in Warren.
The video was well-received by the crowd at the packed venue outside Detroit.
Trump, who has been battered by brutal poll numbers in recent weeks, hovers at around 50% approval in the way he’s handled immigration — his best issue area in most surveys.
“I banned all welfare to illegals and I signed an order that will end automatic citizenship for the children of illegal aliens — no citizenship,” he said, continuing on the immigration theme.
“For years, Joe Biden and the media told us that stopping the flood of illegal immigration was absolutely impossible,” Trump continued. “He said it was impossible. He didn’t know what the hell he was talking about.”
“It turned out that all we needed was a new president.”
The walls of the event center, which seats about 4,000 people, were lined with large signs proclaiming: “JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!”, “THE GOLDEN AGE,” “BUY AMERICAN HIRE AMERICAN,” “INVESTING IN AMERICA,” and “THE AMERICAN DREAM IS BACK.”
“We’re here tonight in the heartland of our nation to celebrate the most successful first 100 days of any administration in the history of our country,” Trump said.
“And you haven’t even seen anything yet,” he added.
“A lot of auto jobs are coming,” he promised his raucous supporters.
“They all want to come back to Michigan to build cars again because of our tax and tariff policy,” the president said of American auto companies.
Trump further charged that his predecessors neglected the Wolverine State in favor of policies that boosted China.
“After decades of politicians who destroyed Detroit to build up Beijing, you finally have a champion for workers in the White House,” Trump said. “And instead of putting China first, I’m putting Michigan first and putting America first.”
The president also touted his efforts to rein in the size and scope of government.
“After a lifetime of unelected bureaucrats stealing your paychecks, attacking your values and trampling your freedoms, we are stopping their gravy train, ending their power trip, and telling thousands of corrupt, incompetent and unnecessary deep state bureaucrats.
“You’re fired!” he boomed.
When a protester briefly interrupted the event, Trump quipped, “Is that a radical left lunatic?”
The president brought several administration officials on stage during the event, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and top adviser Margo Martin.
“Trump 2028, anybody?” Martin told the crowd, drawing cheers.
Trump also brought popular conservative CNN analyst Scott Jennings on stage.
“I got to get a farm in Michigan … because when you own as many libs as I do, you gotta get a place to put them all,” Jennings joked.
Over his next 100 days or so, Trump pledged that Congress “will pass the largest tax cuts in American history, and that will include no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime” – signature policy proposals of his on the 2024 campaign trail.
“It’s called the ‘one big beautiful bill,’ and it will be the biggest bill ever passed in our country’s history,” Trump said of the massive piece of legislation House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) hopes to pass by the Fourth of July.
“It will include the biggest tax cuts, regulation cuts, military supremacy and just about everything else.”
On top of that, Trump re-upped outgoing Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk’s vow to cut “more than $1 trillion in wasteful and unnecessary spending.”
“And in the next fiscal year, it’ll all be done,” Trump said of his grand vision.
“We’re going to have something that you won’t even believe.”
The commander in chief also took credit for ending the military recruitment crisis that took shape under the Biden administration.
Under former President Joe Biden, the nation’s armed forces lowered standards for applicants and eliminated vacant posts that the administration struggled to fill — whereas under the Trump administration, the president claimed, so many people want to join the ranks that the military can’t take them all in.
“We’ve just set a record of recruitment,” Trump said. “We have a waiting list of people that want to go into our military.
“And we have a waiting list, including for police and firefighters, because our country has spirit again.”
