Unlike his first term in the Oval Office, when his team of relative political neophytes was caught flat-footed by the stagnation of the “swamp,” Donald Trump began his second term as president sprinting at breakneck speed. While the statistics of his first 100 days of his second go at the White House are decidedly a mixed bag when it comes to his economic efforts, the numbers don’t lie: The crisis at the southern border, which election exit polls found that voters considered the second-most pressing problem facing the nation as recently as November 2024, has been vanquished by Trump in historic fashion. Here are Trump’s first 100 days by the numbers, including the good, the bad, the ugly, and the record-shattering victory when it comes to immigration.

Let’s start with those border numbers, because they put the rest of Trump’s efforts into context. While we’re still waiting on the update for April’s total border crossings, border crossings in February and March compared to the same months in 2024 decreased by 99.5%. Even just compared to the last full month of Joe Biden’s presidency, nationwide border encounters were down almost 77% in March.
