Good morning, Happy Warriors! 👋
Common sense has re-entered the room!
Today is Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
Here’s a Bible verse with a good reminder this week:
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
And now, here’s this week’s edition of “What’s Up, America? 🇺🇸” as I head off to school this morning:
💯 Gen Z Review of Trump’s First 100 Days

As a proud member of Gen Z, I’ll be honest: we didn’t grow up with politicians keeping promises. We grew up watching empty slogans, endless wars, broken systems, and leaders who seemed more interested in apologizing for America than fighting for it. So when Donald Trump walked into Washington promising to put America first, many doubted he would follow through.
But he didn’t just talk — he delivered.
Trump’s first 100 days were a masterclass in action over excuses. While the political establishment and the media laughed, cried, and melted down daily, Trump got to work doing exactly what he said he would: fighting for the forgotten men and women of this country.
From day one, Trump made it clear that national security mattered. He signed executive orders to start securing the southern border. He empowered ICE to enforce immigration laws already on the books. He began building the framework for a stronger, safer America — not just for the next four years, but for the next generation.
When it came to the economy, Trump didn’t waste time. He slashed crushing regulations that had strangled small businesses and choked innovation. He revived the energy sector, unleashing American oil, gas, and coal — bringing jobs and independence back to our economy. Consumer confidence soared. Businesses started hiring again. Even Wall Street — though filled with skeptics — couldn't deny the economic rocket fuel Trump had unleashed.
Internationally, Trump projected strength, not apology. When Syria crossed the red line by using chemical weapons, Trump didn’t issue a strongly worded statement — he launched targeted military strikes that sent a clear message: America is back, and our enemies will be held accountable. Under Trump, ISIS’s so-called "caliphate" began crumbling rapidly, showing the world that strength, not weakness, is what preserves peace.
For my generation, the first 100 days of Trump were a wake-up call. We had been told for years by professors, celebrities, and media pundits that America was in permanent decline — that a future of lower expectations was normal, even good. Trump blew that narrative to pieces. He didn’t just believe America could win again — he proved it.
And let's be honest: style points were never the goal. Trump didn’t cater to political correctness or beltway elitism. He used Twitter to talk directly to the American people, bypassing the corrupt media filters. Was it unconventional? Yes. Was it effective? Absolutely. He spoke plainly, sometimes roughly, but always with a clear purpose: to disrupt a system that had been failing us for decades.
The media won’t admit it, but Trump’s first 100 days laid the foundation for the record-breaking economic growth, energy dominance, and national pride that defined the next three years.
Gen Z didn’t need another career politician. We needed a disruptor — someone willing to take the hits, break the old rules, and fight for results. Trump did that and more.
Looking back, it’s even clearer now: Trump’s first 100 days weren’t about headlines or handshakes in the swamp. They were about restoring something much bigger — hope.
Hope that hard work still matters. Hope that America can still lead. Hope that the American Dream is still alive — not just for the elites, but for everyone.
As Gen Z looks toward the future, we aren’t searching for polished speeches or hollow promises. We’re looking for leaders who deliver results and put America first.
Donald Trump’s first 100 days proved he’s that leader. And if we want to secure the future our generation deserves, we’d be wise to remember just how much he accomplished — and how quickly.
