Yesterday, we published Part 1 of our review of the Trump administration's first 100 days. You can read that here. Today, we are going to cover some of the promises, controversies, and stories we didn’t have space for in Part 1. Then we’ll share some arguments from the left and right, and then Tangle Executive Editor Isaac Saul gives his take on Trump’s first 100 days.

Since there’s so much to cover, we’ll be reviewing President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in a two-part edition. This edition is part one, and we’re sending it to all subscribers.

Today, we’ll examine Trump’s central campaign promises and the degree to which he has kept them. Consistent with past reviews of Biden and Trump, we’ll use a “promise meter,” a 1–10 scale measuring how well Trump has kept his promise (with 10 being the best score). This is not our judgment on any policy’s efficacy or value, it is only a judgment on how well Trump has kept each campaign promise. In other words, this edition will be an objective (as much as we can make it) overview of Trump’s stated goals and how well he has kept to them.

Tomorrow, we’ll release part two, where we’ll get into a more subjective overview of Trump’s term so far. In it, we’ll cover some actions and events that weren’t among Trump’s major campaign promises, share views from the left and right on his first 100 days, and then I’ll give “My take.” The full version of tomorrow’s Friday edition will only be available for paying Tangle members.

On Monday, Canada held a federal election for members of the House of Commons to the 45th Parliament. The Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, won a plurality of seats, securing a fourth consecutive term in power. The Conservative Party placed second, and party leader Pierre Poilievre lost his seat, casting his political future into doubt. While the Liberals did not take enough seats to win a majority, as the party that received the most votes they will now put forward their party leader, Carney, to retain his position as prime minister.
