  3. Donald Trump is officially America's 45th President. "Trump Force One" was one of the most visible symbols of his run for the Oval Office. However, Mr. Trump likes to call it the "T-Bird," according to a Discovery Channel documentary featuring the plane. According the documentary, the Trump Boeing 757 reportedly cost a whopping $100 million. Admittedly, that figure seems highly exaggerated when compared to market prices. The President has owned the Boeing airliner — registration N757FA — since 2011 and has customized the aircraft to his liking. It's unclear what will become of the Trump 757. In all likelihood, the aircraft will be pressed into service for members of the Trump family as well as senior officials at the Trump Organization.

  6. President Donald Trump said Sunday he will begin renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement when he meets with the leaders of Canada and Mexico. A central promise of Trump's campaign was that he would revamp the 23-year-old trade pact. At a White House event Sunday, Trump said he had scheduled meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. Trump has also pledged to get Mexico to pay for a wall along the United States' southern border. Imposing those border taxes now would violate NAFTA. Any move to change the terms of NAFTA or withdraw from the deal also runs the risk of the cost of goods shipped to the United States becoming higher for American consumers.

  7. Mr. Trump is going to start negotiating NAFTA. Trump said “I ran a campaign somewhat based on NAFTA. But we’re going to start renegotiating on NAFTA, on immigration, on security at the border.” Mexico's president Enrique Peña Nieto has been very cooperative and "terrific" when they spoke on the phone Saturday. Trump continues to say that NAFTA has to be the top priority.

  9. Despite Donald Trump saying continuously throughout his campaign that he would release his tax returns when the routine audit was finished, his counselor, Kellyanne Conway released a statement saying that would not be happening. A recent poll on Whitehouose.gov brought attention to this as a petition for Trump to release his returns reached over 200,000 signatures. If a petition on the sight reaches 100,000 signatures, the white house is obligated to comment. Trump is the first president to not release his tax returns since 1970. The reason that was released to the public by Conway for the returns not being released was that, "People didn't care" and that he is trying to get get away from the business aspect and working to be a full time president. The kids of Donald Trump will take over running his businesses.

  10. Donald Trump may be facing a serious lawsuit soon. It is said he has violated the Constitution by accepting payments from foreign governments. Trump was expected to have taken the necessary steps before he went into office. Now that he has become President and not done anything to help his cause, a lawsuit is supposed to be filed on Monday. Trump has had business with at least twenty-five foreign countries with almost six hundred of the businesses/partnerships he owns or is a part of.

  12. On Sunday, President Trump talked about renegotiating NAFTA. President Trump will be talking to Canadian and Mexican leaders to discuss with them. Trump wants to revamp a twenty-three year old trade pact. Trump has also pledged to get Mexico to pay for a wall along the United States southern border. Trump said he'd do it through boarder taxing. Imposing those border taxes now would violate NAFTA.

  13. There is eight ways that Trump, the 45th president, is guaranteed to make history.
    1. Oldest incoming president. He turned 70 on June 14. Oldest in US history to undertake presidency. 2. First billionaire president. 3. The richest cabinet. 4. Least experienced politically. No one has been elected president in over 60 years without having experience in Congress or as a state governor. Trump sees it as an asset, not a flaw. 5. Most powerful children. He named his son-in-law senior advisor making him the most powerful presidential son-in-law in history. 6. Fewest White House pets. First president in over a century to not have a pet. He had planned to adopt but it fell through. 7. Most adamantly anti free-trade. 8. The First Lady's firsts. Melania Trump is the first presidential spouse from Slovenia (a country in Central Europe) and non-native English speaker. She is also the first third wife to settle in the White House.

  16. Was Donald Trumps inauguration one of the most viewed of all times? Sean Spicer said the Trumps inauguration would be the most watched inauguration by people online of all time. The only thing is is that there is no real way of telling exactly how many people watched it. They say there was around 30.6 million people witch made it close to one of the most watched inauguration of all time. the most was for president Obama.

  17. On Monday, Donald Trump signed an anti-abortion executive order that has some consequences for women's reproductive health access worldwide. The United States spends about $600 million on international assistance for family planning and reproductive health programs. That makes it possible for 27 million women and couples to access services and supplies that they need.
    None of that money is spent on performing abortions. This executive order is one of the first Donald Trump has signed since taking office. There were few, if any, women present while Trump signed the order. He was surrounded by men.

  18. Trump has picked Ajit Pai to serve as the next chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. He will need to be reconfirmed by the Senate before the end of this year because his current five-year term as a commissioner expires. The FCC could prove crucial to Trump, who is known for his obsession with the media.The agency has the authority to block major media mergers, revoke broadcast licenses and regulate Internet providers.

  19. On Monday, Donald Trump received some advice from Johnny Manziel, former Cleveland Browns quarterback. He allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend and partied his way out of the NFL. Maziel posted on Twitter and tagged the president, saying Trump should ignore his mentions and just lead the country. He then deactivated his Twitter account. You can no longer see Johnny Manziel's post, giving the president advice, anymore.

  20. Donald Trump's Son

    While Donald Trump and the media have spent the weekend squabbling over how many people attended his inauguration, a perfect Twitter storm has broken out about comments made by a comedian about his son Barron.
    The social media frenzy was sparked when Saturday Night Live writer Katie Rich posted a tweet just after the swearing-in ceremony saying, "Barron Trump will be America's 'first homeschool shooter'."
    Trump supporter Melissa Earnest posted a number of responses on her Facebook page including one long defence of Barron in which she said: "Whether you like or dislike the Trumps - this is their 10-year-old son. He is still growing and words hurt."
    Her post has already been shared several million times.

  21. On Monday, Trump signed an executive action which bring back the "Mexico City Policy." It stops the government from funding international non-governmental organizations that perform abortions. "He wants to stand up for all Americans, including the unborn, and I think the reinstatement of this policy is not just something that echoes that value, but respects taxpayer funding as well," says Sean Spicer.
    Reagan initially put this in action, but in 2009, Obama's administration resigned it.

  26. Donald Trump is home alone in the White House. His wife and son are still at their home in New York. So far, most of his time in office has been battling the media. He wants his schedule to be completely full from morning until night. CNN says that his work will be a balance between the amount Obama, Bush, and Clinton did on a daily basis. Many of them made their days much shorter than what he plans to do, considering his family is not with him. They say he is unlike many, he wants to show off the Oval Office and has had several meetings to do so with many people.

  27. The 45th president, Donald Trump, isn't afraid of a lawsuit. During the presidential campaign he threatened to sue New York Times for reporting his tax returns, and those who made commercials saying he didn't support military veterans. None of these have became cases yet. But Donald Trump has multiple pending cases in states across the country. Last year he ended multiple disputes with a former refugee who sued Trump for copyright infringement and former students of Trump University. But not all the cases were ended before Inauguration Day

  28. The article is about Donald Trump believing that we have voter fraud in the United States during our election. He believes that illegal immigrants were able to vote in election. He knows he won the election through electoral college but that he should have won by popular vote. He doesn't have any proof of fraud but may start an investigation. Trump believes that more than 14% of non-citizens were registered to vote.

  30. Donald Trump is following through with one of his first pledges, which is to build a wall along the southern border. The length of the wall, how much it will cost, and who will pay for it still remain questions. There is also an ongoing debate about the need for it in the first place. He promised back in June 2015 that he would build the wall and said Mexico would pay. The announcement about what will happen is expected to be on Wednesday.

Back in June of 2015, he promised that he would build a wall and that Mexico would pay. Some things have changed Mexico will not be funding it, instead of actually paying up front Mexico will be reimbursing the American taxpayer. So the American taxpayer will be paying for the wall at first, and Mexico will pay us back. Mexico’s president said in recent days that Mexico absolutely will not pay for the wall and that it goes against the dignity of their country and people. The construction to build the wall will begin as soon as we can. Most likely in a couple of months.

  33. Wednesday, President Trump signed two executive orders conducting the construction of a wall on the US-Mexico border, advancing border patrol forces and increasing the number of immigration enforcement officers who execute deportations. The orders also call for putting an end to sanctuary cities of federal grant funding and announced sweeping new criteria that could make many more undocumented immigrants more susceptible for deportation. "Beginning today, the United States of America gets back control of its borders," Trump told employees of the Department of Homeland Security. Construction of the wall could start in a few months, but Trump said the bigger motive has already started. Trump is determined to get Mexico to pay for the wall, even when Mexico's leader has continuously said no.

  35. On Wednesday, president Trump began the start of reshaping the immigration system. He signed two executive orders for the building of a wall between US and Mexico and to increase border forces. President Trump told the employees of the Department of Homeland Security "Beginning today, the United States of America gets back control of its borders." He said the construction will begin immediately, he will use federal funds, and seek reimbursement from Mexico. Even though Mexico has rejected that idea. He insists that the US will be getting money back from Mexico.

  36. President Trump, wow it's great saying that, on his sixth day in office signed executive orders to begin building the wall on the U.S. and Mexico border like he promised in his campaign. He also said that he is going to start boosting deportation efforts and border patrol along the border. In the sand dunes along the California-Mexico border there is a 15 foot fence that is considered one of the easier places to cross. There are big gaps in the certain parts of the fence, like in Jacumba, California.

One man, Robert Cameron, says he is in favor for Trump and having a wall to stop all the illegal imigration and drug smuggling, but he recalls when President George W. Bush signed an Act to build a fence, and that it was poorly made and didn't work. Cameron doubts that a solid concrete wall would work. CNN stated that Cameron isn't an "expected" Trump supporter, as he is an immigrate, however and his family moved here legally. He stated that he has family here illegally and he does not want them kicked out. He crosses the border daily, and feel that the media is painting a different picture down there, than what it really is. He feels there is a problem, but the government is just throwing any "answer" at it.

Although trump is keeping his promises, many question if his style will disrupt businesses and possibly the political system. Criticism had already risen up against trumps actions, people questioning if he will be able to take on harder tasks, and some even pointing out flaws in his behavior.

  48. President Trump has stated on twitter that Mexico has "taken advantage of us long enough" and that our relationship with Mexico needs a do over. He said that they have had little contribution to the United States and has little help on the weak border. He wrote this tweet after the announcement that the President of Mexico is not going to attend their meeting. This is believed to be because of Trump's claim to start construction on the wall on the Mexico and United States border. Mexico says they will not be paying for the wall that is estimated to be between 8 to 12 billion wall.

The National Archives and Records Administration says President Donald Trump's tweets are considered presidential records that need to be preserved for historic purposes, but officials have yet to say whether his administration needs to preserve even altered or deleted tweets. Trump tweeted the day after his inauguration that he was "honered" to serve the American people. The tweet was later corrected to "honored" and then later removed entirely.
