This is what I gave Trump for the first 100 days. What would you give him? Would you give him an A,
00:00:03.880
a B, a C? What would you give him? This is mine. First 100 days of C-minus. And I'm gonna explain
00:00:11.480
to you why in today's episode. Today officially marks 100 days of promises made and promises
00:00:18.160
kept by President Trump. This has truly been the most historic start to a presidency in American
00:00:23.620
history. If you get value out of the spitty, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel,
00:00:26.780
get right into it. So a few things on how I scored this. When it comes down to our quarterly
00:00:31.140
assessment that we do on every one of our executives and employees, we go into a handful
00:00:34.940
of different categories. We have A for attitude. I absolutely love Trump's attitude. Better than
00:00:40.380
I've ever seen him as a president, I love his attitude. He's loose. He's confident. He's
00:00:45.940
saying whatever he wants to say. Not extra combative. He used to be. He's just being himself. E effort.
00:00:51.880
I don't know if any presidents worked harder in their first 100 days. Matter of fact,
00:00:56.000
President Biden signed 162 executive orders in four years of being president. President Trump
00:01:03.220
signed 142 executive orders in his first 100 days. 142. And FDR had the record before at 99. This
00:01:10.540
was during the Great Depression. He signed 142. This man is working like no other president has
00:01:16.340
ever worked in the first 100 days. So I give him an A for effort. Teamwork. The team is actually
00:01:22.620
working well together. They seem to enjoy each other's company. There's not been a lot of people
00:01:26.660
being fired. So there's camaraderie on the people that he has. And it's working out so well. It's
00:01:31.980
early. But I give him a B for the team that they have together. And then when it comes down to
00:01:36.020
innovation, creativity, ideas, and things that they have in place that they've thrown Greenland or
00:01:40.200
Gulf of America and, you know, Panama. They're very innovative on their ideas.
00:01:45.120
What I'd like to see Canada become our 51st state. But when it comes down to results,
00:01:49.920
you got to score the results. When it comes down to the results of what's gotten done,
00:01:54.460
it's a C minus. Now let's look at the good, bad, and the ugly. The good border. Safer than I felt
00:01:59.700
in many, many years. I don't feel any worry about what's going on with the border. The people that are
00:02:04.260
already here, they're here. Border, you got to give them an A plus. I don't know what else you're going
00:02:07.920
to give it. It's locked down. When it comes down to DEI and ESG woke out, all that nonsense,
00:02:14.220
we're not dealing with a lot of that stuff, okay? Another thing is how many companies and
00:02:17.620
countries he got to commit to invest in America. Total of $5 trillion. You got Apple, half a trillion
00:02:23.220
dollars. You got IBM, $150 billion. NVIDIA, $500 billion. SoftBank, Oracle, OpenAI, collectively,
00:02:29.340
$500 billion. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, $100 billion. Johnson & Johnson, $55 billion.
00:02:34.420
Eli Lilly, $27 billion. United Arab Emirates, $1.4 trillion. Japan, $1 trillion. Saudi, $600 billion.
00:02:41.260
India, $310 billion. This is all good stuff on investments being made, but you haven't felt the
00:02:46.860
residual effects of it yet because nothing has started yet that we feel and see. Another one
00:02:51.540
is new jobs being created, non-governmental jobs of 350,000 jobs that are being created. That's good.
00:02:57.340
They're not talking about that enough. That's another big victory that they've had. One of the things
00:03:01.060
that matter a lot to many of us is the common sense stuff like, hey, there's two genders.
00:03:04.120
Leave it alone. You know, men can't compete in women's sports, but that's not fair. Transgender
00:03:08.660
bullshit, bullshit. Stop it. The 80-20 stuff that all the Democrats are taking a 20 position in the
00:03:13.300
80s, like you're out of your mind. Common sense is back in a major way. So that is victory.
00:03:20.120
Tariff, I'm going to give my opinion, but I'm going to give that at the end. Let me tell you about some
00:03:23.440
of the stuff that a lot of people are not happy with. Here's what it was. I thought we're going to
00:03:27.180
get the Epstein stuff. What happened with that? None of it. I thought we're going to get the 9-11
00:03:31.540
declassified. What happened with that? None of it. I thought we're going to know everything
00:03:34.840
about John F. Kennedy. Some of it was dropped, the assassination, MLK. Some of it was dropped.
00:03:39.280
Do we know anything that's new? Not all of it. I feel like still some of the stuff that's being
00:03:43.220
hidden. Would you declassify the 9-11 files? Yeah. Would you declassify JFK files? Yeah.
00:03:49.360
I did. I did a lot of it. Would you declassify the Epstein files? Yeah. Yeah.
00:03:54.480
A lot of us were waiting on it. We have Glenn Beck on a podcast. In two weeks,
00:03:58.260
Kash Patel, it's going to be this, Pam Bondi, Epstein, this, everything. Where are we? A lot
00:04:05.100
of people, their top three issues were those things. Where are we with that? We don't have
00:04:09.820
that yet. Another one is Russia-Ukraine. On day one, on day one. I will settle Russia-Ukraine
00:04:15.460
while I'm president-elect. While you're president-elect? While I'm president-elect.
00:04:19.700
Wow. Day one, we're day 100. Putin is not making President Trump look good. Neither is Zelensky.
00:04:26.160
Neither one of them. It almost seems like Putin and Zelensky are on the same team. In a very strange
00:04:30.780
way. You're trying to kill each other. But in the very same way, they're holding President Trump
00:04:34.920
hostage because they know President Trump wants to show that he brought them together and he's the
00:04:40.040
bigger guy and he got them to have a broker of peace deal. That's not happening. On the one end,
00:04:44.080
Zelensky doesn't want to give up Donbass and he's kind of using this as leverage. On the end,
00:04:48.000
Putin's like, what are you talking about? So we haven't seen that peace. Pope Francis,
00:04:52.740
he, you know, he dies and right there, they're getting a chair. He says, Macron, I know Zelensky
00:04:57.860
wants you to be part of this conversation. This has nothing to do with you. I just want to talk
00:05:02.640
Zelensky. That's the Trump I like, but the deals need to get done. Israel, Hamas, Iran. We thought
00:05:09.180
there's going to be a peace deal. There's still nothing there. I'll give you the flip side. That's a
00:05:12.680
little bit that some things that people don't like, I don't like. I don't want my president to make
00:05:17.060
threats that he can't commit. If you're going to keep threatening Iran and Hamas, deliver on your
00:05:21.900
threats. You can get away with saying it maybe once, but once, twice, three times, I no longer
00:05:27.740
believe the threats that you're making. We need to be selective on the threats that we're making.
00:05:32.040
I don't want my president to be dropping threats all the time. As a parent, as a CEO, we threaten
00:05:36.320
all the time. You're supposed to add time to your competition, to your enemy, to your peers,
00:05:40.740
to your employees, to former employees that want to take away clients, defamation of all this other
00:05:44.400
stuff. But you better deliver on your threats or else the market's going to look at you saying,
00:05:48.000
what's going on here? So a little bit too many threats without the delivery of threats being
00:05:52.440
made. Now, some people may like this because they don't want war to be taking place. That's
00:05:55.720
what I'm saying. Be selective of the threats you're making. One of the things a lot of us
00:05:59.740
was excited about was Doge. Hey, the first hundred days, a trillion dollars on savings. Awesome.
00:06:04.200
Go. We like it. 160 billion today. Some reports say 300 billion, but most reports say 160 billion
00:06:10.160
dollars. Maybe it was tougher than they thought. Maybe Congress controlled a little bit more,
00:06:14.120
but it was good seeing what was going on with USAID. And maybe Musk is a little bit burned out
00:06:18.680
saying, look, I'm not trying to do this job long-term. It's taking an impact on all of my
00:06:22.340
companies. I kind of want to step aside after the hundred days. We don't know, but Doge, another
00:06:26.780
great concept that you want to see get done. No tax on tips. I know a part of that is unfair
00:06:32.120
because the tax deal is not done yet. Corporate tax is going from 21 to 15. That extension that he had
00:06:37.340
from back in the days, no tax on social security pay, no tax on overtime. Those are great ideas
00:06:43.220
that need to be pushed through. That's why the score is right now a C minus because a lot of those
00:06:48.960
things are still pending. Some of the ideas that I like that's kind of outlandish, but hasn't happened
00:06:53.040
yet. Greenland. We need the minerals. Well, we need Greenland for national security purposes.
00:06:58.280
Panama was supposed to get done. That was one of my top five deals. My administration will be
00:07:03.020
reclaiming the Panama Canal and we've already started doing it.
00:07:08.580
Hasn't gotten done yet. China, C.K. Hutchinson playing games. I want to see that Panama Canal
00:07:13.580
thing get done because you do have leverage. It's a very important piece while you're at the table
00:07:17.960
negotiating. I understand why they keep extending TikTok and they're not allowing someone to buy it
00:07:23.500
from America yet. He's holding it back because I believe he's using that card in negotiation with
00:07:28.000
China. I think he needs Panama, but some of this stuff's got to get done. Gulf of America right now,
00:07:32.560
pretty much everybody calls it Gulf of America. That was a very easy one. It didn't even take a
00:07:36.340
long time to do it. I would never call it Gulf of America. It's already been done. Let's go to
00:07:40.540
tariffs. Tariffs to me is I am 100% supportive of what we're doing with tariffs. I am all about it.
00:07:46.620
I'm all about the reciprocal tariffs. I have no issues with what's going on with tariffs. My guy from
00:07:51.700
Goldman Sachs, the weak market tank, 6,000 points, whatever the number was. He calls me, calls me,
00:07:57.120
calls me, calls me, calls me. We had a meeting last week. He's over here in my office. I said,
00:08:00.380
let me ask you a question. My wife's sitting right there. I said, was that the only client
00:08:03.640
that never called you back when everybody lost tons of money? He says, yes, you were the only
00:08:06.960
one. I said, tell me how much money we lost. He shows it to me. My wife's like, babe, we lost that
00:08:11.820
much money. No, we didn't. We're going long. I said, matter of fact, buy more equities, sell the bonds
00:08:17.540
and go buy more equities. I am long on America and tariffs. Go. Wow. You're serious. Everyone's
00:08:25.700
panicking. I am not. I'm long on what they're doing. They need to negotiate the tariffs. They
00:08:31.040
need to get the spark done. Americans have been abused this entire time. I love the fact that
00:08:35.200
Apple is taking 60 million iPhones that they want to produce, going, taking some of that to India,
00:08:39.600
a hundred percent of it, they want to move to India. Now, some of that still needs to come to
00:08:42.720
America. Some of those jobs of manufacturing needs to come to America. That's part of the
00:08:46.760
conversation. But the fact that China's had a chokehold on the entire world. Yeah. I'm not happy with
00:08:52.400
that. I've never been happy with that for as long as I've been talking about this. So I'm all in with
00:08:56.600
tariffs. And this is why, in my opinion, this is C minus today. What is today's date? April 29th,
00:09:03.960
it's C minus. But within 90 to 180 days, I will do another one. And it can be like this in no time,
00:09:11.880
very easily. You know why? Because as a businessman, when you have a lot of things that are pending
00:09:17.180
and nothing's getting closed, it causes a lot of panic for the people on the team.
00:09:22.080
We need to close that deal. That brought 6.2 million. We need to close that. That brought
00:09:25.020
12 million. But when it's not happening, it's stress because you need to get VP of financing.
00:09:29.660
What's going on with cash management is low. Hey, what's going on? Expenses. Hey, we're hiring
00:09:33.380
too many. Hey, what are we doing with this? I understand that. And for many, many times as a
00:09:37.760
guy running a business, I am fear for the longest time because nothing is closed yet. So yes, as of right
00:09:44.520
now, I'm a C minus, but do not be surprised when I go to this within 90 to 180 days, where we start
00:09:49.400
seeing Canada, Greenland, Ukraine, Russia, Iran, Israel, Hamas, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:09:59.200
And when it comes around the corner and Dow goes towards 60K and that can happen as well.
00:10:05.220
But for today, my honest score today is a C minus. If you got value out of this video,

00:10:14.300
