Warren: President Donald Trump visited Michigan on Tuesday to mark the first 100 days of his new period with two events, including a big evening rally.

While highlighting his administration’s early results, the concerns of the economy and his handling of the high remain among many Americans.

Talked briefly on a national guard base, trouted Trump his administration’s investment in defense and praised the foreign policy record of his first administration from 2017 to 2021.

He said that defense secretary Pete Hegeth did a “great job” without mentioning the recent information he discussed very sensitive military information with several personal acquaintances.

And at a relatively rare moment of Bipartisanship, the president of Michigan exaggerated Michigan -Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat. He said she had played a key role in “saving” Selfridge Air National Guard Base Northeast of Detroit, where local media reported concerns about the base’s future last year.

“I support a record setting of $ 1 trillion investment in our national defense,” Trump said, talking before dozens of troops as well as Whitmer and Hegeth.

During the speech, he said the base in Selfridge would receive 21 Boeing F-15X jet aircraft. Whitmer said in a statement that the move secured the base’s mission and was a “huge, Bipartisan victory for Michigan” that will protect jobs.

On the Air Force, a earlier on Tuesday, Trump signed an order to soften the impact of his auto tariffs with a mixture of credits and relief from other charges. Meanwhile, US Trade Secretary Howard Lutnick CNBC told him he had reached an agreement with a foreign power he refused to name, which was to ease the “mutual” tariffs that Trump plans to impose.

Trump later spoke at an evening rally in Warren, near Detroit. This event, his biggest since he assumed office on January 20, was an opportunity for him to level out what his administration sees as his core performance in the opening months of his second non-consent.

The event is also likely to be an opportunity for the president to reassure voters in the politically competitive automatic state that he is a good financial steward.

A three-day Reuters/Ipsos vote ended on Sunday showed that 42% of respondents approved Trump’s performance so far, while 53% rejected. It is down from 47% approval in the Reuters/IPSOS vote in January.

The proportion of respondents who approved Trump’s financial management was only 36% in the latest survey, the lowest level of his current period or in his presidency in 2017–2021.

Fear of a recession has risen in recent weeks, as Trump has launched a global trade war, hiking radiation so high that economists warn that trading in some countries – especially China – could grind almost to stop. The relocations have shaken investors and businesses.
