President Donald Trump held his first rally of his second term on Tuesday evening at Macomb Community College in Warren, Michigan, marking the 100-day milestone of his new administration with a sweeping address focused on trade, the economy, space exploration, and cultural policy.
The event drew thousands of supporters as the president laid out the next phase of his agenda and reaffirmed campaign promises made during his 2024 run.
“We’ve just gotten started. You haven’t even seen anything yet. It’s all just kicking off,” Trump told the packed crowd, nearly six months after winning Michigan and other key battleground states in the 2024 election.

On entitlement programs, the president assured older Americans that his administration would protect benefits.
