In Primetime Interview, President Trump Highlights
America’s Comeback
April
30, 2025
In a commanding primetime interview on
ABC, President Donald J. Trump delivered a powerful recap of his first 100 days
in office — showcasing his transformative achievements and confronting the
mainstream media’s distortions head-on. From securing the border to slashing
billions in waste, President Trump laid out why the nation is rallying behind
the America First agenda.
Here’s what you missed:
President Trump highlighted the
single biggest accomplishment of his first 100 days: “The border
is the most significant because our country was really going bad … You had
murderers coming in, you had everybody coming in … Now, it’s totally
closed down … Nobody thought that could happen, and it happened quickly.”
President Trump roasted the
media for covering up Biden’s decline: “We had a President that
couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs, couldn’t walk down a flight of
stairs, couldn’t walk across the stage without falling. We had a President
that was grossly incompetent. You knew it, I knew it, and everybody knew
it, but you guys didn’t want to write it because you’re fake news — and,
by the way, ABC is one of the worst.”
President Trump distilled his
first 100 days to a single statement: “I’m doing one thing: I’m
Making America Great Again … Our country suffered greatly — and now, our
country is coming back like nobody can believe.”
President Trump noted prices
are already moderating in his first 100 days: “Our country had
inflation that was worse than they’ve ever had it before … Why don’t you
mention that? … Now, grocery prices are coming down, the energy prices are
coming down…”
President Trump fact
checked the interviewer on deported criminal illegal
immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia: “This is an MS-13 gang member …
Beat the hell out of his wife … This is not an ‘innocent, wonderful
gentleman from Maryland … He came into our country ILLEGALLY!”
President Trump outlined the
stakes of his trade policy: “This is what I campaigned on. I said
that we’ve been abused by other countries at levels that nobody’s ever
seen before … I could’ve left it that way — and at some point, there
would’ve been an implosion … but I said, ‘No. We have to fix it.’”
President Trump discussed his
success in securing the homeland: “We’re doing something that has
to be done … They’ve allowed 21 million people to pour into our country.
Many of these people are criminals … We’re getting them out, and I was
elected to get them out.”
President Trump described meeting
with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at the Vatican: “The moment
was a moment of solace in a sense because tremendous numbers of people are
dying … and I feel very badly about it. That’s a war that would’ve never
happened if I were president.”
President Trump praised DOGE: “We
saved $150 billion — BILLION. That’s a lot of money … There are things
that I’m considering right now putting back, but overall, we saved
hundreds of billions of dollars … We also found tremendous waste, fraud,
and abuse.”
President Trump addressed the
measles vaccine: “I recommend it. Do I mandate it? No.”

The first 100 days of the second, Donald Trump presidency began on January 20, 2025, the day Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States. The first 100 days of a presidency took on symbolic significance during Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term in office, and the period is considered a benchmark to measure the early success of a president. The 100th day of Trump's second presidency was April 30, 2025.
In his first 100 days, President Trump signed 143 executive orders, the most of any president in this period, 42 proclamations, 42 memorandums, the Laken Riley Act, a continuing appropriations act, and other pieces of legislation for Congress. Trump's extensive use of executive orders drew a mixed reception from both Republicans and Democrats. Some executive orders tested the limits of executive authority, and others faced immediate legal challenges. Major topics Trump focused on included immigration reform, deportations, applying tariffs on other countries, cutting federal spending, reducing the federal workforce, increasing executive authority, and implementing a non-interventionist foreign policy.
President Trump's return to office is concurrent with the Republican Party maintaining a legislative majority in the House of Representatives and securing the Senate majority in the 2024 Congressional Elections, marking an overall government trifecta for the GOP for the first time since the 115th Congress in 2017 at the beginning of Trump's first presidency.
