Trump Holds Rally To Commemorate 100 Days In Office

President Donald Trump delivered a high-energy rally in Warren, Michigan on Tuesday night, using his 100-day milestone to highlight what he called one of the most productive openings to a presidential term in American history. Speaking before a packed crowd at Macomb Community College, Trump declared his administration was just getting started — and promised more sweeping action in the months ahead.

The rally came on the heels of his earlier appearance at Selfridge Air National Guard Base alongside Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer — a rare bipartisan moment that only added to the weight of the day’s events. But once he stepped on stage in Warren, Trump pivoted back to the full-throttle populism that has defined his political style.

“We’ve accomplished more in three months than most administrations accomplish in four years — or even eight years,” he proclaimed, to roaring applause. “And we’re just getting started.”

Trump used the moment to trumpet his administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, highlighting a dramatic drop in border crossings and boasting that his policies had replaced “mass migration” with “mass deportation.” The contrast, he said, was stark — drawing a line between the chaos under President Biden and the restoration of control under his own leadership.

On economic matters, Trump urged Congress to pass what he called a “big, beautiful bill” that would deliver the largest tax cuts in American history, including the elimination of taxes on tips and overtime, a nod to working-class voters. He also touted Apple’s reported $500 billion investment into American manufacturing, contrasting it with the company’s historic reliance on Chinese production.

But Trump didn’t shy away from cultural flashpoints. He launched one of his most direct attacks yet on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, denouncing them as “bull****” and announcing their complete eradication from the federal bureaucracy.

“I made it the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female,” he declared — a line that drew one of the loudest responses of the night.

He followed this with a litany of executive actions designed to reverse progressive ideology in government and education: banning puberty blockers and transgender medical procedures for minors, ending Critical Race Theory in schools and the military, and removing men from women’s sports.

“I banned it all,” Trump said flatly.

Trump also addressed what he called the sabotage of his agenda by left-wing district court judges. He urged the Supreme Court to rein in lower courts and warned against a judiciary that attempts to “usurp the authority” of the executive branch.

“Judges are trying to take away the power given to the president to keep our country safe,” he said. “We cannot allow it.”

In closing, Trump paid homage to Michigan’s legacy as the beating heart of American industry, reminding the crowd of their historical contributions to manufacturing, transportation, and innovation.

“We stand on the shoulders of red-blooded Michigan Patriots,” Trump said. “Michigan is the state that gave us the assembly line, Motown, Ford, General Motors, Chrysler — and under our leadership, we are making it greater every single day.”
