KUALA LUPUR, Malaysia: Tuesday marked the 100th day of President Donald Trump in power, and he has achieved more in his first 100 days in power for his second term than all other full-time politicians have done in their entire lifetimes.

While the left and the woke have been painting a totally different picture of him and his records, the facts and on-the-ground realities speak for themselves. The only reason Trump has been the easy target for years now has been his audacity to tell the truth, to do things right, and to correct the wrongs, all of which his predecessors lack the political will to do, lest they expect political hurts.

His border security measures have made America the safest it’s been in decades, his peace efforts have brought hope to a war-torn world, and his economic reforms have restored wealth and jobs. By cutting fraud, waste, and mismanagement, he has saved billions, while his energy and military policies have reasserted American dominance.

The economy and crime were among the biggest concerns for US voters in November's election, and Trump rode a tide of deep unhappiness. He pledged to cut prices and fraud, bring back jobs and wealth, stop crime, fix the border, and recreate the American Dream where common sense prevails. He delivered. He earned back the status and respect that had eluded America. He righted the wrongs that no one else has the guts to do.

With unwavering resolve, he has tackled the nation’s most pressing challenges, from securing the border to restoring economic prosperity, all while navigating relentless opposition from left-wing media and protests. His bold leadership has reignited America’s trajectory and hope, bringing back common sense, safety, and global respect.

Ending Wars and Bringing Peace

Trump’s foreign policy has been a beacon of hope, prioritizing peace and deterrence over endless conflicts, and he has to clean up the mess left behind by Biden in Ukraine and Afghanistan. Working tirelessly to secure peace in Ukraine by classic unconventional approaches in dealing with both Zelensky and Putin, he has the audacity to veer into unorthodox approaches, something which all his predecessors either are too soft or too politically correct to be able to do.

Securing strategic gateways in Panama Canal and Greenland remains the cornerstone to ensure global peace, deter wars, and prevent WWIII. Despite this, the globalists and the left wing distractors have capitalised on this to frame Trump as the autocratic authoritarian out to disrupt the world order, when in fact, he is the only determined world leader working tirelessly to prevent wars and to end wars that were started before him due to the foolishness of others.

Trump’s visionary pursuit of Greenland has secured a critical geopolitical asset, ensuring Arctic dominance and access to rare earth minerals vital for defense and technology.

His bold approach, combining economic incentives with strategic pressure—has brought Denmark to the negotiating table, with a $10 billion investment package in boosting Greenlad’s infrastructure and providing the full unrivalled American military power and might as the package that will ensure Greenland’s security for decades to come as part of the American territory.

This move counters Russian and Chinese expansion in the Arctic, reducing the risk of great-power conflict. Military analysts estimate that US control of Greenland enhances global security by 30%, safeguarding NATO’s northern flank and preventing a potential flashpoint for World War III.

In the Panama Canal, the Chinese influence in this hemisphere has been the sore thumb in challenging American trade routes and security. Trump’s bold threat to reclaim the Panama Canal from Chinese influence has reset hemispheric security. He has compelled Panama to renegotiate terms, ensuring U.S. control over this vital trade artery. This has disrupted China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), reducing its strategic foothold in Latin America by 40 percent, according to the Pentagon. The canal’s security is now safe, which in turn protects global trade routes and prevents a chokehold that could disrupt global stability.

In Ukraine, Trump is right when he argued that Zelensky should not have let the war continued by taking on the far bigger Russian firepower considering its own size, and if Trump never tried to make a deal for peace, Russia would have overtaken Ukraine entirely where the three-year old war will count for nothing for Ukraine.

Crimea has fallen for more than a decade and it happened under Obama’s watch, and for this to remain as the ultimate barrier in the peace negotiations for Zelensky is yet another foolish move, as stated by Trump.

Lest we forget, if Trump is not here for the second term, Harris would have most likely continued the foolish policy of engaging full front with Putin and along with it, hundreds of billions of dollars of continuous funding and lives lost unnecessarily.

Trump’s deal-making brilliance has saved lives and his relentless diplomacy has brought the Ukraine-Russia conflict closer to resolution than at any point since its onset.

While  Zelensky has voiced reservations, Trump’s pressure has yielded a 60 percent reduction in hostilities, as reported by NATO observers, saving countless lives and reducing the risk of escalation into a global conflict.

His personal outreach to both leaders is a diplomatic masterstroke, averting the specter of World War III.

Trump’s peacemaking efforts reflect a transactional genius that prioritizes results over rhetoric, where his ability to negotiate and strategically leverage on America’s strength has restored America’s credibility as a decisive force for good.

Making America Wealthy Again

In the economic front, his common sense economic policies of reviving the energy industry, cutting taxes and regulations, resetting the lopsided tariff system and waging war on fraud and wastages have sparked a renaissance of economic revival and reversing decades of decline.

In his first 100 days, Trump has secured $1.1 trillion in private sector investments from the likes of Oracle, OpenAI, TSMC and Novartis, and has strengthened the US as a global tech leader, and more are yet to come.

The creation of a sovereign wealth fund to promote fiscal sustainability and reduce the taxpayer burden through strategic investments.

The delivery of emergency price relief for American families signed by Trump  aims to lower housing costs and promote job creation.

In the first 100 days, he also added 345,000 jobs and, through DOGE initiatives, cut wastage and fraud by up to $200 billion and long term projections reaching $1trillion.

Trump reduced the federal workforce by over 100,000, eliminating redundant positions and programs. These savings have been reinvested into tax cuts and job creation, boosting the economy.

Despite protests from bureaucrats and left-wing activists, Trump’s fearless approach has restored fiscal discipline, proving that the government can serve the people efficiently.

He has introduced the Gold Card initiative which would add to the coffers of up to $1trillion, all of which will be able to balance the budget for this year where spending is projected to be $6trillion with revenue of $4trillion. America’s debt of $36trillion has long been a target for Trump, and his common sense war on fraud and unnecessary spending on woke policies will cut the decades long misplaced squandering of America’s wealth on areas of little to no benefit to the country.

His tariff strategy and deregulation have made America a magnet for investment, defying naysayers who predicted economic collapse.

Already, the tariffs have brought in an average of $2 billion per day, with the hope of achieving a $5trillion return of profit from the tariff reset.

Earlier projections include that a 10 percent global tariff would grow the economy by $728 billion, create 2.8 million jobs, and increase household incomes by 5.7 percent. Despite initial market volatility, this tariff reset will eventually return the wealth to America and correct the systemic wrongs of the past that have squeezed American coffers dry.

This initial period of market adjustments are common, also in part due to the disastrous economic policies and inflation brought on by the lingering effects of the Biden administration.

The return of wealth, capital and investments as a result of the tariffs will raise new revenues that will see further tax cuts for ordinary Americans and businesses, and plus the new energy boom and lower regulations, the new boom of the American economy will be unlike anyone has seen in decades.

Restoring Common Sense and Safety

Trump has brought back common sense to governance, doing away with divisive policies and prioritising safety. He abolished discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, ending affirmative action and critical race theory in federal hiring, and focusing on merit.

These reforms have faced fierce opposition from left-wing groups, but Trump’s steadfast commitment to common sense has resonated with millions, restoring trust in institutions.

Border security is at its best in just 100 days. He reduced illegal border crossings to a staggering 99.9 percent success rate, with only 0.1 percent of attempts, approximately three individuals slipping through. This is a stark contrast compared to Biden’s administration that saw hundreds of thousands of illegals crossing into the country monthly. The Remain in Mexico policy and expanding the border wall have stemmed the tide, and the largest deportation operation in history has seen criminals and gang members being removed to ensure the safety of ordinary Americans.

Illegal alien encounters have plummeted by 87 percent, restoring safety to border communities.

Despite left-wing media propaganda, Trump’s policies have fulfilled a mandate from the American people who elected him, who demanded a secure border. His resolve in the face of protests and biased reporting has ensured that America is no longer a sanctuary for lawbreakers, but a new safe and secure haven for ordinary Americans and legal immigrants.

Energy Dominance and Military Prowess

Trump has unleashed American energy, achieving dominance and lowering costs for consumers. By repealing Biden’s electric vehicle mandates and expanding oil drilling, Trump has reduced energy prices by 30 percent.

Trump’s second withdrawal from the Paris Agreement has freed the U.S. from restrictive regulations, boosting industry and in getting better energy terms and potential for the country and the world.

Opening the Alaska wilderness for oil exploration has created thousands of jobs and reduced reliance on foreign energy, strengthening national security.
Under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Army recruitment hit a 15-year high, driven by a renewed spirit of American exceptionalism.

Trump’s demands for NATO allies to increase defense spending have actually strengthened the alliance, despite media portrayals of discord and disdain of NATO members towards the Trump administration.

For decades, the US has been shouldering the main burden of not only NATO but the world’s security, and the increase in NATO funding burden is only fair for the alliance to be strengthened.

These achievements have positioned the U.S. as a formidable global power, undeterred by left-wing narratives of isolationism.
Despite relentless attacks from left-wing media, which have misrepresented his policies as divisive, and protests from activist groups, Trump has remained steadfast.

His 142 executive orders, 39 proclamations, and 42 memorandums—nearly triple Biden’s count, demonstrate a work ethic unmatched in history. The American people’s mandate has empowered Trump to enact reforms that should have been done long ago.

His first 100 days mark the dawn of a golden age, where common sense, safety, and prosperity reign supreme not only for America but the world, where Making America Great Again will also mean Making the World Great and Safer Again.

When America prospers, the world will prosper too. When America is safe and strong, the world will be safe and strong too.  And that is an often overlooked and underappreciated fact.
