Alert – Trump marks 100 days in office with major ‘achievement speech’ in Michigan: Live updates

President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Michigan on Tuesday night to tout his achievements in the first 100 days of his second term.

It will be his largest public event since returning to the White House .

he is holding it in a state that has been damaged by his tariffs.

Before the rally Trump shared a hug with a longtime antagonist, Michigan’s Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

They appeared together to announce a new fighter jet mission being placed at an Air National Guard base outside Detroit.

Donald Trump totally humiliated disgraced Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in a made-for-TV moment in Michigan before his massive 100 days rally.

While speaking to Michigan National Guardsmen on Tuesday, the president spotted Whitmer in the crowd.

‘I want to thank Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer,’ Trump said.

‘You know, I’m not supposed to do that. She’s a Democrat. They say, don’t do that, don’t have her here. I said, ‘no, she’s going to be here… she’s done a very good job.’

He then called her up in what appeared to be a spur-of-the-moment decision.

‘Well, I hadn’t planned to speak…’ she replied in a cringeworthy moment. ‘But on behalf of all the men and women who have served… I really am damn happy we’re here.’

Earlier this month, Whitmer faced the wrath of her Democratic colleagues for her seemingly friendly appearance alongside President Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

Donald Trump trolled a protester who was kicked out of his Michigan rally on Tuesday night.

The clip shows Trump noticing the agitator, saying: ‘What’s the problem over there?’

‘Is that a radical left lunatic? He’s just a child! Get him out,’ Trump said, before realizing a mistake.

‘Oops, I’m sorry ma’am. I thought you were a guy… I said he and it’s a she. I’m sorry.’ he said to huge laughs from the pro-MAGA crowd.

President Trump slammed some unnamed GOP ‘grandstanders’ who may oppose an upcoming bill to extend his 2017 tax cuts during his remarks.

‘Every once in a while you have a grandstander Republican. We have some grandstanders. Not many. Not many. But remember who those grandstanders were and vote them the hell out of office,’ he told the Michigan crowd, without naming specific lawmakers.

‘If you don’t get it your going to get the highest tax hike in history,’ he warned. ‘A fifty percent tax increase, would you like that?’

As Congress hammers out the specifics of the bill, which is expected to include over a trillion dollars of spending, internal GOP turmoil has threatened to delay Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill,’ that is expected to also include reforms to slash tax on tips and more.

Donald Trump addressed a new impeachment effort against him led by Michigan Democrat Rep. Shri Tahanader at his rally in the state Monday night.

‘What the hell did I do they want to impeach me,’ he joked after he said he saw the new attempt against him on the news.

‘Did I just hear Im being impeached again? They’ve gone totally crazy,’ he added.

‘They have no confidence. They have no candidates.’

President Donald Trump annihilates all of his Republican rivals in a hypothetical 2028 primary race.

In a new Daily Mail/J.L. Partners survey marking Trump's first 100 days, pollsters also looked ahead to the next presidential race.

Republican respondents were told to presume that Trump’s Constitutional hurdles of getting on the ballot again had been cleared to see if there was an appetite for a third Trump time.

A whopping 39 percent said Trump would be their first choice, followed by 19 percent who selected Vice President J.D. Vance

After that, failed 2024 candidates, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Amb. Nikki Haley garnered 6 percent and 4 percent support, respectively.

First Lady Melania Trump – who’s only made rare public appearances at President Donald Trump’s side during his first 100 days in office – has the best approval numbers of anyone in his administration.

In a new Daily Mail/J.L. Partners survey, pollsters asked Americans to rate the president, vice president and a handful of Cabinet and other prominent Trump administration officials.

The first lady received a plus-13 rating – with 30 percent of respondents viewing her very favorably and another 15 percent viewing her somewhat favorably.

Those numbers are identical to her husband’s – but she tops the list because her unfavorables aren’t as bad.

Twenty four percent of respondents rated Melania Trump very unfavorably, while 8 percent had a somewhat unfavorable view of the first lady.

At the same time, 42 percent of those polled view the president very unfavorably, with another 9 percent holding a somewhat unfavorable view of the commander-in-chief.

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Tuesday to relax some of his 25 percent tariffs on cars and their parts, the White House said.

It’s the latest significant reversal from the White House, following American automakers’ consistent complaints that import taxes threatened to harm domestic manufacturers.

But don’t expect the tariff relief to help consumer wallets, analysts said.

The Trump administration has arrested and deported a shocking number of illegal migrants – including thousands of known ‘scammers’ – since the president took office in January.

A total of 65,682 illegal immigrants were removed within Trump’s first 100 days, a Department of Homeland Security official revealed to the Daily Mail.

That makes a portion of the 66,463 total arrests made since Trump took office.

The official said that five percent of the arrested individuals have criminal charges or convictions.

That figure includes 498 migrants with murder allegations and 1,329 who were tied to sex offenses. Another 2,288 were suspected gang members.

The Daily Mail is also first to exclusively report that 7,120 illegal migrants have been alleged to have participated in benefit fraud schemes.

President Donald Trump is inking new executive orders that would target ‘sanctuary cities’ in liberal enclaves – and direct authorities to yank back billions in federal revenue if necessary.

The cities, including New York, Chicago and Boston, have established laws protecting migrants amid ICE deportation efforts going after people who came here illegally.

The issue burst back into the forefront with the arrest of a Wisconsin judge was charged with helping an undocumented immigrant who was in her courtroom avoid arrest.

Another order signed by Trump on Monday requires truck drivers to speak English and pass literacy tests.

‘Proficiency in English … should be a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers,’ according to the order.

White House Press Secretary denounced Amazon on Tuesday after the online retailer previewed a special tag denoting the higher cost of goods as a result of the president’s tariffs.

‘This is a hostile and political act by Amazon…It’s not a surprise because, as Reuters recently wrote, Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm. So this is another reason why Americans should buy American,’ Leavitt said.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wouldn’t confirm President Donald Trump was talking to Chinese President Xi Jinping, as Trump has claimed and Beijing has denied.

‘I would say Karoline and I have a lot of jobs around the White House, running the switchboard is not one of them,’ he told reporters at a Tuesday morning briefing.

Bessent also pushed that Chinese politics were at play when asked to explain the repeated denials from China that trade talks were happening.

‘They have a different form of government. They’re playing to a different audience. So I’m not going to get into the nitty gritty of who’s talking to whom,’ Bessent said.

The U.S. continues to have a 145 percent tariff on Chinese goods amid the current trade war.

President Trump took to Truth Social to give his assessment of how he is doing after 100 days.

He wrote:

We are doing GREAT, better than ever before.

Trump added:

100 VERY SPECIAL DAYS
