Trump's First 50 days in Office

In his first 50 days in office Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th President of the United States respectively, has signed 82 executive orders. He is the second President to ever be elected non-consecutively - the first was Grover Cleveland. His first term was 1885-1889 and his second term was 1893-1897. He was the 22nd and 24th President. Trump's second election as President of the United States was only his third campaign for any public office. His election success rate has been 2 out of 3. This is significant because it is difficult to win the presidential office after losing an election. Typically incumbents have more political power, and thus it is often easier to become president a second time while still president. His Executive Order passage rate has been the highest of the past 40 years. (Tracking Trump's executive orders) 

“Every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America.” - The Trump-Vance Administration Priorities
