20.455 - 32.998 Donald Trump

Thank you very much. Hello, Michigan. Hello. We love you, Michigan. We love you. We just had the biggest victory in Michigan.

33.098 - 59.912 Molly Ball

Yeah. Well, it's been 100 days. Wow. Even more, actually, a couple more. It has been like 103 days. So to mark the occasion, I've come up with a small pop quiz for you, something to test you on a few key points from Trump's first 100 days. Oh, boy. Okay. Let's see how we do. How many executive orders has Trump signed in these first 100 days?

61.651 - 67.636 Kate Leinbaugh

Ah, I actually looked this up recently. I believe it's about 140, which is a lot.

68.117 - 74.382 Molly Ball

It is a lot. The exact number is 142. Okay, I was close.

75.163 - 93.34 Kate Leinbaugh

It's a lot more than most presidents sign, and, you know, they've been pretty substantive. They've really driven a lot of policy. It's been his major way of running the government. How many bills has Trump signed into law? Well, this is quite a contrast. Very few. I believe the number is just five.
