DONALD Trump has marked his 100 days in office with a fiery speech and said an American “golden age” is just beginning.
Trump travelled to Detroit, Michigan, on Tuesday where he spoke to adoring fans and hailed his policies, saying he’s “just getting started”.

Trump spoke at the Macomb County Community College Sports Expo Center as he said he was making “America great again”.
He said: “We’ve accomplished more in three months than most administrations get done in eight, or four, years”.
Trump said: “We’re just getting started.
“You haven’t seen anything yet.
“What the world has witnessed in the past 14 weeks is a revolution of common sense. That’s all it is.”
Trump said he missed the campaign trail and that many of his biggest supporters in the crowd had “lost weight” since he had last seen them.
The President said he would cut a deal with China – which is facing 145 per cent tariffs – as his ongoing trade war with Beijing hammers the stock market.
He said: “They want to make a deal. We’re going to make a deal.But it’s going to be a fair deal.”
Don said mass deportations were only beginning and claimed only three illegal immigrants had been able to enter the country since he had taken office.
Trump said: “Removing the invaders is not just a campaign pledge, it’s my solemn duty as commander-in-chief.
“I have an obligation to do it. To save our country.”
Trump hit out at Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell and said he wasn’t doing a “good job”.
He said: “You’re not supposed to criticise the Fed. You’re supposed to let him do his own thing. But I know much more than he does about interest rates, believe me.”
Trump also railed against his political enemies like Joe Biden, Republicans opposing his agenda, and Democrats.
Earlier this evening, the US President addressed the Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan, where he was joined by rows of troops in uniform.
He promised to save their base, which he called a “crucial pillar” of American air defence.
He followed this with announcing his “tremendous” plans for the US military – a particular point of interest to many Americans in the recent months.
Just 100 days into his second term, Trump has made his mark with a dazzling pace of policy changes that have thrilled allies and stunned enemies.
Tariff wars and peace talks have defined his first months – and White House officials have warned of more “torpedoes”.

From the get-go, Trump sparked controversy by inviting Elon Musk into his inner circle – appointing him head of his efficiency crack team.
His first weeks saw a historic Oval Office spat with Zelensky where the two leaders engaged in a brutal war of words – a spectacle for the world of diplomacy.
In a bizarre episode, the Don threw his toys out of the pram over a portrait of him, claiming it was the “worst” and “purposefully distorted”.
He sensationally triggered an economic war with China – met with a fierce response from Beijing, raising fears of an escalation of conflict between the two countries.

DONALD Trump has reshaped the world order as we know it since taking over the White House for a second time.
As the president marks an “extraordinary” first 100 days in the Oval Office, experts predict what’s next.
Dr Alan Mendoza, executive director of Henry Jackson Society, told The Sun: “I think it’d be very fair to say that Trump has stirred up the world order in his first 100 days.
“Right now, it looks like chaos to us, but is there a master plan? That will take time to know and achieve.”
Former Nato commander Hamish de Bretton-Gordon said: “It’s been an extraordinary 100 days, absolutely extraordinary.”
Experts believe the next 100 days will bring another rollercoaster ride – and it will continue to reshape the world as we know it.

And Trump continued his threats to take control over Greenland – and suggested Canada could become the 51st state of the US.
With his “America First” agenda, he has also waged war with courts and government bureaucracy.
Russia’s war in Ukraine has also taken centre stage in the President’s first 100 days in office, with Don previously vowing to end the conflict in the first 24 hours of his presidency.
Even before he set foot in the White House on January 20, Trump – who likes to call himself the “greatest deal maker”.
While he later dubbed his own claim as “exaggeration”, he has still not been able to put an end to the bloody conflict, with experts saying he has been played by Vladimir Putin.
