100 days. Fourteen weeks. Countless facepalms. I’ve written about every single day of Donald Trump’s presidency and let me tell you folks, it has been quite the ride, believe me.

A week after Donald Trump became President Trump, I started doing this thing where I tracked everything the Trump administration did. A relaxing activity, I know. As you can see by my profile photo, it did wonders for my hair regrowth.

What started as a Google doc tracking Trump’s flurry of executive orders, turned into an article that became a recurring column on Rantt called Unpresidented. It got its name from Trump’s now infamous Twitter typo that embodies the Trump presidency. It took his team 87 minutes to correct it.

An impulsive, frantically thrown together group of characters with virtually no oversight. Am I talking about this tweet or the Trump administration?

An impulsive, frantically thrown together group of characters with virtually no oversight. Am I talking about this tweet or the Trump administration?

As the weeks went by, I began to notice trends and recurring themes. Trump’s first 100 days have been a whirlwind of failed policy attempts and ethics violations, as we’ve watched the Trump-Russia investigation continue to hover over everything President Trump does. And on the other side, we’ve seen an American public that appears to be more engaged in our current political discourse than ever before. Rather than give you a list of 100 Trump lies or outline all the promises he hasn’t kept, I’m going to go through every important development that occurred during the Donald Trump presidency so far.

100 days is a lot to cover, so I’ll make this as simple as possible. I’m going to cover each day in bullet point format, very briefly touching on the stories that have shaped Trump’s presidency. The weeks will be organized in a Saturday — Friday format. If you want to dive into more detail, each week will end with a link to a full comprehensive breakdown of everything that happened. Below you will find every action, every reaction, and every story that has moved the Trump administration forward and backward.

Ok, let’s do this. Where do I even start. I guess, the beginning.

Day 93 — Saturday, April 22

  • Thousands of people who care about the future of humanity gather in over 600 cities in six continents, to participate in a massive demonstration to loudly declare that science, and facts, matter
  • Trump apparently takes notice, and despite having signed executive orders and legislation that negatively affect water, air, and land, he claims he values the environment

Day 94 — Sunday, April 23

  • Trump sends off quite a few tweets all but endorsing Le Pen in the French election, jabbing at Obamacare, trying to reassure his base that Mexico would indeed pay for the wall, and once again bringing up the US election

Day 95— Monday, April 24

  • Reports reveal the Senate’s Trump-Russia probe has no full-time staff, has interviewed no key witnesses, and has made little progress
  • As the potential government shutdown quickly approaches on April 28th, the disputes over the budget continue as Democrats and Republicans scramble to come to an agreement on key issues
  • Trump vents his nerves on Twitter

Day 96 — Tuesday, April 25

  • House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz and ranking Democrat Elijah Cummings reveal that Flynn may have violated the law by not receiving permission from the Pentagon or properly disclosing the $45,000 payment he received for a paid speech at Russia’s propaganda network (RT) event
  • San Francisco judge blocks Trump’s January executive order which sought to block billions in federal funding for sanctuary cities
  • Republicans make the first concession to the Democrats on the budget. They will no longer include the $1 billion to fund President Trump’s border wall

Day 97— Wednesday, April 26

  • Trump releases a half-baked, one pager of a tax plan that was shorter than a college kid’s resume. Economists are shocked, claiming the plan will drastically increase the national debt
  • The White House makes its second concession on the budget, now stating that they would continue to fund Obamacare subsidies
  • The Trump admin briefs Congress on the North Korean threat, but lawmakers feel that they didn’t receive enough details on the administration’s strategy
  • With Rep. Devin Nunes no longer leading the probe, the House Intelligence Committee’s Trump-Russia investigation is reportedly getting back on the right, non-partisan, footing

Day 98 — Thursday, April 27

  • This is the day where President Trump’s scramble for “wins” falls apart. So, about that ACHA revive effort. Republicans, knowing that they would fall short of the votes necessary to pass the bill, delay the vote. Nervous about the approaching 100 day mark, President Trump unleashes a series of Tweets accusing the Democrats of wanting a government shut down. Trump also backtracked on pulling out of NAFTA

Day 99 — Friday, April 28

  • Congress voted to avoid a government shutdown and agreed to fund the federal government for another week. Trump didn’t get his wish to fund his border wall or cease funding of Obamacare subsidies, ending a week of failed attempts to grab a “win” out of thin air
  • Attorney General Jeff Sessions recuses himself from any potential investigations into Michael Flynn
  • North Korea launches yet another failed missile test
  • The U.S GDP grows 0.7% during Trump’s first quarter as president, the weakest growth in 3 year
  • In an interview with Reuters, President Trump said that there is a chance for “a major, major conflict with North Korea” and went on to admit that the presidency is harder than he thought it would be…

“I loved my previous life. I had so many things going. This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.”

Day 100 — Saturday, April 29

  • The Climate March saw hundreds of thousands of people gather in a massive demonstration to advocate for environmental issues
  • Trump’s 100 days ended where this whole thing started…A Trump rally

Here’s Every Action Trump Took In His Fourteenth Unpresidented Week As POTUS

So there you have it. If you made it this far I applaud you. Now you know everything that went down during Trump’s first 100 days in office. I know it was long, but I hope you found this useful.

It’s important now more than ever to stay informed on the issues that matter. Try your best not to get distracted by media sensationalism or Trump’s compulsive lying. The truth is out there. You just have to look for it.
