Trump’s Agenda for His First 100 Days in Office

Donald Trump shocked the country after voters rallied behind his long-shot campaign and handed him the victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton, making him the 45th president of the United States.

Republicans have also held onto their majority in the House of Representatives and are close to claiming majority in the Senate, giving Trump a friendly Congress with which to pass his legislative agenda.

The following is an overview of his agenda, compiled by Fox News from his campaign website.
