Trump celebrates 100 days of second administration with Michigan rally: Live updates
April 29, 2025
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he had a good call with Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos following an angry reaction from the White House to reports that the e-commerce giant planned to show American consumers the impact of tariffs on prices on its site.
Amazon has since denied the report, saying it was an idea floated for one part of the business.
The president confirmed the call with Bezos as he departed the White House en route to give an “achievement speech” focused on the economy to mark 100 days in office.
Trump is speaking at Macomb Community College, just north of Detroit. Earlier, on Truth Social, he touted his “100 VERY SPECIAL DAYS,” along with his trademark MAGA slogan.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a briefing that Trump’s first three months had been “the most historic start to a presidency in American history.”
However, new polling shows Trump faces the lowest 100-day approval rating in about eight decades, topping his previous record in 2017.
The president brushed off his waning approval ratings, stating: “The Polls from the Fake News are, like the News itself, FAKE!”
