  • Seattle University Associate Professor of American Politics Dr Patrick Schoettmer says it is customary for incoming president and their allies to try and secure "early victories" as they enter office.

The article from MSN discusses the critical nature of Donald Trump's first 100 days in office, a traditional benchmark for evaluating a new U.S. president's effectiveness. It outlines that Trump, having promised significant changes during his campaign, faces the challenge of translating his ambitious agenda into actionable policy. Key points include his plans for tax reform, infrastructure investment, and immigration policy changes, particularly the construction of a border wall with Mexico. The article highlights the political obstacles Trump might encounter, such as opposition from Democrats and even some Republicans, as well as the complexities of legislative processes. It also notes the expectations from his voter base for immediate action and the potential for executive orders to bypass some legislative hurdles. The piece concludes by suggesting that while the first 100 days are symbolically important, the real test of Trump's presidency will extend beyond this initial period.
