Live: Fact-checking President Donald Trump’s first 100 days of his second term

By PolitiFact Staff
April 29, 2025

As President Donald Trump closes out the first 100 days of his second term, PolitiFact is live fact-checking his administration’s reflections on the start of his presidency. 

Trump will deliver a speech about his administration’s accomplishments at 6 p.m. ET on April 29 in Macomb County, Michigan. Since Jan. 20, Trump has cracked down on immigration, implemented widespread tariffs and dismantled government agencies and programs he’s accused of fraud. These actions align with his 2024 campaign promises, which PolitiFact has been tracking with our MAGA-Meter.
