President Trump draws cheers as he celebrates first 100 days back in office with bold claims, big promises, and a sweet nod to Melania
Donald Trump is officially back — and so is his signature rally energy.
The 45th and 47th President of the United States held his largest political rally since returning to the White House Tuesday night, drawing a massive crowd outside of Detroit, Michigan, to mark the first 100 days of his historic second term.
And in true Trump fashion, the speech had it all — tough talk on immigration, trade battles with Canada, wild applause for his economic plans… and a warm shoutout to his wife, Melania Trump, whom he praised in just four words: “Our great first lady.”
Melania Moment Steals Spotlight
As Trump worked the crowd with his trademark bravado, the audience erupted when he turned his attention to his famously private wife.
“Let’s hear it for our great first lady,” Trump declared, drawing cheers from thousands. The crowd roared its approval, clearly thrilled to hear the former model and First Lady praised from the podium.
Melania, 54, has remained largely out of the spotlight in Trump’s second term, but supporters have consistently expressed admiration for her grace and elegance. Some even took to social media after the rally to call for “More Melania moments.”
From Tariffs to Talk of Greenland — Trump Goes Global
While Trump didn’t hold back on his usual firebrand topics, he seemed energized as he defended his administration’s latest moves.
Among the biggest headlines? The Laken Riley Act, which gave the green light to a high-profile deportation effort targeting gang-affiliated migrants, and the return of Trump-style tariffs on allies and rivals alike — a move that’s rattled markets but, according to Trump, is part of a larger strategy to “bring jobs back home.”
And in a classic Trump twist, the former real estate mogul also floated the idea of expanding U.S. territory into Greenland, Canada, and even Gaza — a comment that quickly set X (formerly Twitter) ablaze.
“I Run the Country and the World”
Trump made it clear that he sees his second term as a mandate to finish what he started, telling The Atlantic: “I run the country and the world. I think that what I’m doing is exactly what I’ve campaigned on.”
Though his approval numbers have dipped due to backlash over economic uncertainty and tough immigration policies, Trump remains a dominant force in Republican politics — and, judging by the Michigan rally turnout, still commands the love of his base.
With the 2026 midterms on the horizon, Trump appears ready to double down on his signature policies — and keep Melania by his side as he does it.
