00:00That's US President Donald Trump celebrating 100 days in the White House office.

00:10But is there a reason to celebrate?

00:12We look at the promises he made versus the promises he kept.

00:15During his 721-day campaign, Trump consistently promised to end the war in Ukraine.

00:20At times, he even went as far as to add

00:22I could fix this war in Ukraine in 24 hours.

00:25100 days into Trump's second term, the conflict grinds on.

00:29No specific number of days, but quickly, we want to get it done.

00:34Since Hamas terrorist attacked Israel on October 7, 2023,

00:37Trump maintained that the attack would not have taken place had he been president at the time.

00:41Before taking office, Trump brokered a Middle East ceasefire.

00:44But it collapsed by March 18 when Israel resumed full-scale combat against Hamas.

00:48Carrying out mass deportations was a cornerstone of Trump's 2024 campaign.

00:52We will send elite squads of ICE, Border Patrol and Federal law enforcement officers

00:58to hunt down, arrest and deport every last illegal alien gang member until there is not a single one left.

01:05The administration quickly launched deportation operations,

01:07but Trump's numbers have been lower than those of Joe Biden and Barack Obama,

01:11at the same point in their presidencies.

01:13In 2023, Trump put out a video proposing to end birthright citizenship and ban what he called birth tourism.

01:19Even mothers travel to America to make their children instant American citizens.

01:24Trump's order ending birthright citizenship faces Supreme Court challenges with arguments set for May 15.

01:30Trump thinks tariff is a beautiful word.

01:32He said so repeatedly during the campaign.

01:34There has been more than a little disturbance.

01:36His first hundred days have been the worst for the stock market since Richard Nixon's presidency.

01:40Trump announced a government efficiency commission, inspired by Elon Musk,

01:44to audit federal operations and propose drastic reforms.

01:47The commission became a reality with the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE.

01:51The savings, however, have been far short of the $2 trillion initially promised.

01:55Returning education to the states and giving more control to parents was a policy that Trump often repeated.

02:01Trump has slashed the education department, but it requires an act of Congress to eliminate the department.

02:06A recent poll shows Trump's approval rating at 41%, the lowest ever for an elected president,

02:11even lower than his first term in 2017.

02:13Will he be able to fulfill these promises?

02:15I'd like to be Pope. That would be my number one choice.
