Editor’s Note: Congressman Pat Harrigan released the following statement about the first 100 days of the Trump administration.
BY REP. PAT HARRIGAN
WASHINGTON — One hundred days into President Trump’s second term, the results are clear: America is rebuilding its strength at home and commanding respect abroad. Under his leadership, illegal border encounters have dropped by 95 percent, migrant crossings have fallen to historic lows, and deportations of violent criminals have surged past 100,000. President Trump is proving a simple truth: a nation without borders is not a nation at all, and he is securing ours.
Our economy, battered by years of failure, is roaring back to life. Inflation has been cut nearly in half, egg prices have dropped 56 percent, gas prices are down more than 6 percent, and America’s oil production has broken records, making us once again the world’s leading energy producer. In just 100 days, President Trump delivered historic tax relief for working families and small businesses, cut through suffocating regulations, secured trillions in new U.S.-based investments, and reignited the spirit of American enterprise.
On the world stage, President Trump has reasserted American leadership with strength and clarity. He has strengthened our alliances, hosted eleven world leaders at the White House, launched a relentless campaign against terrorism, and restored freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.
The Trump Doctrine is simple: American interests first, American sovereignty always.
At every turn, President Trump has delivered — not to lobbyists and not to elites, but to the forgotten men and women who make this country great.
These first 100 days mark the revival of the American spirit, the spirit that tamed a continent, built the mightiest economy in history, and put a man on the moon. We are witnessing the reawakening of a people who believe freedom is worth fighting for and who know that America’s greatness was never promised. It was earned.
I am honored to stand with President Trump to defend our Constitution, rebuild our economy, and keep alive the promise of America for every child who dreams of a better tomorrow.
History will remember this moment, not only for the victories achieved but for the spirit rekindled. It will remember that when America stood at the crossroads, she chose courage over decline, strength over surrender, and faith over fear.
President Trump reminds us every day that America’s best days are still ahead. And they are.

My dad was a prisoner of war in Germany during WWII. He talked about the greasy smoke that filled the air. The screams of others. The tears of those walking to their deaths. Our current leadership is following many of the same practices demonstrated then. Even this collection of half truths used to praise our leader was filled with misleading statistics. This is, for now at least, a country my dad loved. For those of you blindly accepting information from either side…STOP. Please take time to do your research, verify, check it, and then check it again.
Hold a public town hall, congressman.
He’s kidding… Right?
President Trump is doing nothing except increasing his own power to create an autocracy.
What a line of crap!!
Ridiculous. This is a barrage of lies from a congressman who is taking the knee for Trump.
I have never read such lies from a politician.
And the world leaders are laughing at him. Clapped for Ukraine’s brave leader, nothing for 47 as he dozed in his blue suit. Get real.
