My one-word verdict on President Donald Trump’s first 100 days: Spectacular!

His agenda, and the speed with which he has pursued it, is like nothing I’ve seen in my lifetime. I’m cheering his focus on immigration reforms, including deportations; non-interventionist foreign policies; expansion of domestic oil production; and above all, reversing the shadow Biden presidency. Perhaps Trump will endeavor to find out who ran our country during Biden’s four-year nap.

But that’s not all. The genius establishment of the U.S. DOGE Service, his pardons of Jan. 6 political prisoners, his elimination of racist diversity, equity and inclusion policies, and his efforts to protect women’s sports will make this country better. Hopefully, he will get around to cutting taxes on Americans next.

The very qualified people Trump has surrounded himself with for this term are certainly a highlight. To a person, they are laser-focused on Trump’s agenda to Make America Great Again, something that didn’t happen in his first term.

There is no doubt the imposition of tariffs around the world is creating short-term pain for some Americans; I see it in my own 401(k). But tariffs are greatly needed to protect Americans and their jobs. Already, countries are lining up to negotiate with Trump, yet another win for America.

After the disastrous 2023-2024 economic years, which affected my transportation business, we can finally see the economy roaring back as we’re busy with shipments again. The stock market will come back as tariffs settle in. It’s not an issue of timing the market; it’s time in the market.

My single biggest delight in the Trump presidency is seeing what he’s going to do tomorrow.
