Love him or hate him, Trump’s political comeback and his early executive actions make him an historic figure.
Ever since Election Day 2024, various supporters and conservative journalists have been voicing the prediction that President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office will be “the greatest ever.” Former aide Steve Bannon has prophesied for months that Trump’s start will be “the most aggressive” rollout since FDR’s first presidential term in March 1933. The New York Post went even further on Inauguration Eve. With visions of a new Camelot, the newspaper headlined that Trump’s second term promises to inaugurate “a golden age in the U.S.” As if on cue, President Trump used the same phrase in his inaugural address on January 20.
Come April 30, Donald Trump — and countless allies — will compare his opening salvo favorably with the achievements of FDR and LBJ.
