Donald Trump marked his 100th day in office with a campaign-style rally in Michigan, characterized by fiery rhetoric against “communist radical left judges” and a dramatized video showcasing the deportation of Venezuelan immigrants to a notorious prison in El Salvador. The event, held in a half-full sports and expo center in Warren, near Detroit, saw a significant number of attendees leaving before the end of Trump’s 89-minute disjointed speech. Despite celebrating what he claimed to be the “most successful first 100 days of any administration,” the rally highlighted Trump’s fixation on past grievances, including false accusations about the previous administration’s border policies, defense of controversial deportations, and attacks on the judiciary. The event also featured guest speeches and displays of support for Trump’s policies and administration, including controversial stances on gender and immigration. Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin criticized the rally, pointing out Trump’s low approval ratings and predicting a negative reception from voters in upcoming midterm elections.
