Trump's 100-Day Rally in Michigan: 'We Are Delivering Mass Deportation' and 'the Largest Tax Cuts in American History' (April 29, 2025)

President Donald Trump marked his first 100 days back in office with a rally in Michigan. “We’re here tonight in the heartland of our Nation to celebrate the most successful first 100 days of any administration in the history of our country,” Trump said at Macomb Community College in Warren on April 29, 2025, according to the transcript published by the American Presidency Project [1].

“What the world has witnessed in the past 14 weeks is a revolution of common sense,” he said [1].

”We’re for Common Sense”

“We’re for common sense. We like strong borders. We like good education. We like low interest rates. We like being able to buy a beautiful car and now deduct the interest on the loan. That’s never happened before,” Trump said [1].

“We want a strong military. We want low taxes,” he said [1].

“In a hundred days, I’ve taken more than 1,000 executive actions, and I could recite our accomplishments all night long,” Trump said [1].

He even took credit for the little things. “And by the way, did you just see what I did? Straws. I wiped out the paper straw,” Trump said. “So we’ve opened up the showerheads, the faucets, the toilets, the washing machines that don’t give you water.” [1]

“We Are Delivering Mass Deportation”

“Democrats have vowed mass invasion and mass migration. We are delivering mass deportation, and it’s happening very fast,” Trump said [1].

“My administration has increased arrests of known and suspected terrorists by 655 percent,” he said [1].

“So, under President Trump, America is a dumping ground for criminals no longer. They’re not even trying to come in,” Trump said [1].

”Build Cars Again”

Trump told Michigan the auto jobs are coming back. “They all want to come back to Michigan and build cars again,” he said [1].

“To keep my promise to the great State of Michigan, I terminated Joe Biden’s insane electric vehicle mandate—where you are mandated to buy an electric vehicle,” Trump said. “You’ve got to be able to buy a hybrid, a gasoline-powered car. You can buy lots of different cars, but you can’t be mandated to do anything.” [1]

On energy, he said “we’ve reopened ANWR, the greatest drilling site anywhere in the world, in Alaska.” [1]

“Michigan is the State that gave us the assembly line, Motown, Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, and put the world behind the wheel of an automobile,” Trump said [1].

”Eight Major Artificial Dyes”

“I established the new Presidential Commission to Make America Healthy Again—chaired by our new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,” Trump said [1].

“Just last week, Bobby announced that we’re banning eight major artificial dyes from our food supply. Sounds good to me,” he said [1].

He also praised Dr. Mehmet Oz as “one of the smartest guys in medicine—also a big star.” [1]

“Fresh Off the Line”

Earlier that day, at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Trump announced that 21 new F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets would replace the base’s retiring A-10 Warthogs. “This will keep Selfridge at the cutting edge of Northern American airpower,” he said [2].

Trump said the base “represents $850 million in economic impact across the State of Michigan.” [2]

He thanked the state’s Democratic governor for pushing to save the base. “So I want to thank Governor Gretchen Whitmer for bringing it also to our attention very strongly,” Trump said. “She’s done a very good job, frankly.” [2]

“I’d Like to Be Pope”

Before leaving the White House, a reporter asked Trump who he would like to see as the next pope. “I’d like to be Pope. That would be my number-one choice,” he joked [3].

“We have a Cardinal that happens to be out of a place called New York who’s very good,” Trump said [3].

”The Largest Tax Cuts in American History”

Back in Warren, Trump made a promise. “In the coming weeks and months, we will pass the largest tax cuts in American history, and that will include no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime,” he said [1].

“It’s called the one big, beautiful bill, and it will be the biggest bill ever passed in our country’s history,” Trump said [1].

“We will make the largest ever investment in U.S. military and build the Golden Dome missile defense shield,” he said [1].

“From Marquette to Midland, from Mackinaw to Saginaw, and from Lansing to right here in Macomb County, we stand on the shoulders of red-blooded Michigan patriots,” Trump said [1].

“And on November 5, 2024, it was hard-working patriots like you who saved our country,” he said [1].

“Our golden age has only just begun. We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God,” Trump said [1].

“NO tax on Tips. NO tax on Overtime. NO tax on Social Security,” the White House said of the new law [4].

It also listed “a tax deduction on Made in America auto loan interest” and “funding the Golden Dome missile defense system to confront 21st century threats.” [4]
