Trump 100 days live updates: Trump warns ‘nothing will stop me’ in Michigan and spars with ABC interviewer

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to make a rare public appearance in California today, one day after President Trump marked his first 100 days in the White House.

The 2024 Democratic presidential candidate is scheduled to deliver a keynote speech at Emerge at the organization’s 20th Anniversary Gala at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. The group recruits, trains and provides support to Democratic women eying political office.

Harris is expected to criticize Donald Trump over his aggressive push to fulfill his agenda and how she believes his administration is failing Americans.

“There is a clamoring for her voice right now,” a former Harris senior adviser told NBC News Wednesday. “No one can better prosecute the case while inspiring a call to action than the former vice president.”

Stepping on the stage at Madison Square Garden, nine days before Donald Trump was declared president a second time, Elon Musk told a crowd of screaming fans that their “money is being wasted.”

Musk — dressed in all black, topped with a black “MAGA” hat in blackletter type — vowed to cut “at least $2 trillion” in federal spending, a figure he apparently came up with on the spot. He pledged to put his so-called Department of Government Efficiency to work getting the “government off your back and out of your pocketbook.”

Nearly six months later, after pumping tens of millions of dollars into the president’s campaign and deploying an army of loyalists across the government to fire workers and slash budgets, the wealthiest person on the planet announced plans to “significantly” withdraw from the White House to focus on his company, Tesla.

DOGE’s cost-cutting crusade isn’t going anywhere, officials told The Independent’s Alex Woodward.

A recent analysis by the Media Research Center suggests that 100 percent of network media coverage of Pete Hegseth was negative since Donald Trump had taken office.

Sharing a screenshot of the unsavory accolade from Fox News, the Defense secretary said in jest that he had a “PERFECT SCORE.”

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr and Department of Government Efficiency lead Elon Musk had received 89 percent and 96 percent negative coverage, respectively, per the analysis.

“Come on,” Hegseth tweeted, tagging RFK Jr and Musk. “You guys can do better!”

“For years, Joe Biden and the media told us that stopping the flood of illegal immigration was absolutely impossible,” President Donald Trump tells his 3,000 followers in Michigan. “But it turned out that all we needed was a new president.”

“We are delivering mass deportation, and it’s happening right now. And the worst of the worst are being sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador,” he says.

Trump then played a video of deportees being manhandled off planes and buses, having their heads shaved, and then being herded into cells.

“USA! USA!,” the chants amid wild cheers.

The U.S. is expected to release its first quarterly GDP report of Trump’s second term on Wednesday.

The data is expected to show a sharp economic slowdown over recent months after the president attempted to foment a global trade war and stoked uncertainty amongst U.S. businesses and consumers, analysts told ABC News.

According to a Reuters poll of economists, the economy is expected to have expanded at a 0.3 percent annualized rate from January through March, down from 2.4 percent in the final quarter of 2024.

The data covers a period before Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs went into effect in early April.

Taking their cues from the right-wing culture warriors and edgelords who make up the MAGA media sphere, the Trump administration has made performative cruelty its media strategy blueprint.

With a staff largely comprised of former Fox News hosts, pro-Trump influencers, made-for-TV politicians, and Trump’s “first buddy” Elon Musk, who just so happens to own one of the largest social media platforms in the world, each day has seemingly brought about a new rage baiting stunt in the conservative media complex.

The goal, writes Justin Baragona, for online behavior and mainstream media engagement remains the same: titillate Trump supporters while angering the left. In a word, trolling.

CNN’s Conservative commentator Scott Jennings bragged about “owning libs” after he was briefly invited on stage at Donald Trump’s Michigan rally Tuesday.

“CNN, this is the end of Scott,” Trump joked after Jennings took the floor. “Oh, who cares? Don’t worry, we’ll take care of you, Scott.”

Jennings told Trump’s Michigan base that the rally was “flying.”

“I said, ‘Look at these farms. I gotta get a farm in Michigan,’” he continued. “Because when you own as many libs as I do, you got to put a place to put them all. Thank you all very much.”

After the rally, Jennings posted a video on X, stating he “got caught up in the moment.”

Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to rapidly and brutally expel millions of immigrants.

In his first 100 days in office, he has bent every part of the government toward that goal, cracking down on non-citizen activists, invoking emergency wartime authorities, skirting court orders to stop deportation flights, pulling humanitarian protections from hundreds of thousands, and attempting to ignore the Constitution and end birthright citizenship.

In a White House defined by chaos, immigration may be the only place where the Trump administration is consistent.

For the millions of immigrants across the U.S., this has meant consistent anxiety. Will they be detained and deported without warning? Do they still have rights to protest? Will the courts check Trump, and will Trump obey the courts?

Four different immigrants and their families told The Independent’s Josh Marcus about what it’s like living through this age of uncertainty.
