Trump's first 200 days make him 'most important president' in a century. In the next 100 he faces a reckoning even he can't stop

It has been a first 200 days that experts say is the most consequential start to a presidential term for 92 years.

That was when Franklin D. Roosevelt set out to save America from the Great Depression and get the country back to work.

When President Donald Trump entered the White House on January 20, 2025 he faced a struggling economy, an immigration disaster, and brewing trouble in Europe and the Middle East.

Trump dealt with it all by throwing the political rulebook out the window - he abandoned free trade, upended relations with America's allies, eviscerated his own government bureaucracy, and bombed Iran.

All of those measures, according to the naysayers, should have led to disaster. Instead, Trump's supporters are doing victory laps and he is forging ahead at breakneck speed.

'You've not seen anything like this in almost anyone's lifetime. You have to go back to March 4, 1933 (the inauguration of Roosevelt) to have an administration so active and aggressive, and successful in promoting its agenda,' high-profile pollster Frank Luntz told the Daily Mail.

''John Kennedy getting elected in 1960 was a very big deal, but nothing compared to what Trump has done in his first 200 days. He really has remade the governing process. Trump has reset what is acceptable in American politics. It's not that he's played the game better, he's changed the game. He's changed the world. We've never had anyone like him.'
