HARD NUMBERS: Trump’s first 100 days in five key figures
43: According to a New York Times/Siena College poll released on Friday, 43% of Americans have a favorable view of Trump — down from 48% before the election. Compared to other presidents at the 100-day mark, Trump is performing worse than any in the past 80 years. How would voters describe his first 100 days in a word? Sixty-six percent said “chaotic,” according to the poll.
94%: President Donald Trump hasn’t deported as many people as he’d like thus far, but he has successfully discouraged many potential immigrants from attempting to cross via Mexico – and to an extraordinary degree. US border patrol saw 22,726 people try to cross the southern border in February and March, down 94% from the same period last year, when Joe Biden was at the helm. On Monday, Trump announced plans to sign two executive orders that would further aid him in his immigration crackdown – one that targets sanctuary cities and the other that will empower law enforcement officials with legal protections and military equipment.
80: Trump only posted 80 times on X, formerly known as Twitter, during his second first 100 days, down from the 496 times he posted during the corresponding period of his debut term. Meanwhile, he posted 80 times on Truth Social within the last week, emphasizing how – despite Elon Musk’s purchase of X – the president’s own social media platform is now his communication medium of choice.
130: Trump is marking his 100th day with a rally in Michigan, where he is expected to tout the success of his immigration crackdown and economic policies. The president plans to outline how over 130 countries have reached out to the White House to negotiate trade agreements after he suspended his tariffs for 90 days – a key message to hammer home in the swing state where a large auto industry could either see major gains — or serious losses — depending on whether tariffs boost domestic manufacturing or trigger an economic slowdown.
10: In response to the Trump administration threatening to withhold federal funding from major universities over accusations of antisemitism on their campuses, approximately 10 schools, including some of the Ivy Leagues and other top colleges, have formed an informal group as a united front in legal negotiations. They will decide as a collective how to resist the administration’s demands that, in their view, infringe on academic independence.Mudasir Khan, originally from Pakistan, sits with his nephew Yaeesh Rao Khan in Mjolnerparken, a housing estate that features on the Danish government's "Ghetto List"
Denmark’s new policy seeks to integrate immigrants, but at what cost?
Denmark’s new policy mandates integration in low-income neighborhoods inhabited by mostly “non-western” immigrants through reeducation, demolition, and policing.
The goal: a massive social engineering project to dismantle immigrant enclaves and force integration into Danish society. The policy will require young children from these neighborhoods to spend 25 hours a week in preschools to learn the Danish language and values.
In practice, the policy will look an awful lot like gentrification in the US, only driven by the government. Residents of low-income neighborhoods, where at least half the population is of non-Western descent, will be forced to leave their homes, and thousands of apartments will be sold to private investors and demolished. In their wake, housing catering to wealthier residents will be built to incentivize social mixing.
Critics are calling the policy ethnic discrimination and say it is unnecessary in a country where the generous welfare system minimizes income inequality, crime, and poverty. Nevertheless, it has broad support across the political spectrum.
Denmark, like countries throughout the European Union, is seeing its expansive welfare state challenged by the influx of migrants from Ukraine, Africa, and the Middle East in recent years. The influx has led to a rightward tack in migration policy across the continent.
