Donald Trump warned that “nothing will stop me” as he reveled in his use of executive power to shape government at a rally in Michigan to mark his 100th day in office.
“In 100 days, we have delivered the most profound change in Washington in 100 years,” Trump said in front of 3,000 supporters. After taking the stage to Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA, the president said his administration had “just gotten started,” before adding: “You haven’t seen anything yet.”
Trump also tussled with ABC News journalist Terry Moran in a heated interview broadcast Tuesday evening, which devolved into the president stating the reporter was “not being very nice.”
He stirred up further controversy by claiming he “could” return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, and doubled down that an edited photo of “MS-13” appearing across his knuckles was legitimate.

Stephen A Smith claims Trump’s poor approval rating actually hurts Dems
Donald Trump’s low approval rating may not be great for the president — but it’s also not great for the Democrats, commentator Stephen A. Smith argues.
A recent Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll captured that more than half of Americans — 55 percent — disapprove of Trump’s policies while just 39 percent approve. But the survey offered little relief for Democrats; 7 in 10 Americans said the party was “out of touch” compared to 6 in 10 who said the same about Trump.
Kelly Rissman looks at the numbers.

The museum welcomed Emhoff, who is Jewish, and 11 other President Joe Biden appointees just months ago in January. They were all supposed to serve five-year terms.
