Trump takes 100-day victory lap at University of Alabama commencement speech
President Trump used his commencement speech at the University of Alabama on Thursday to take a victory lap over his administration’s first 100 days into his second term.
“This week, we're celebrating the most successful first 100 days of any presidential administration in the history of our country, and we've been given a lot of credit for that,” Trump told a crowd of college graduates in Tuscaloosa, Ala., describing the current moment as the “Golden Age.”
“But 100 days does not a full term make, but we're going to do even better as we move along,” Trump added.
Sounding at times more akin to a presidential campaign rally than a commencement address, Trump boasted that his administration had made headway in many of the areas he campaigned on in the last election, like immigration and grocery prices.
