Checking the facts of 100 days of Trump speech

President Trump uses a rally in Michigan to note what he claims to be “the most successful first 100 days of every administration in our country’s history, according to many, many people.”

He stressed his efforts to deal with illegal immigration, to return jobs to the United States and to end what he called the “nightmare of inflation.”

BBC Verify examined some of the main statements of his speech.

Trump said “gasoline prices have been reduced by a lot” since he took office.

On April 29, the average price per gallon of “regular” gas – or gasoline – in the US was $ 3.16 (2.36 pounds), according to Data from the American Automobile Association (AAA).

This is slightly up from $ 3.125 (£ 2,33) recorded by AAA On the day Trump enters the White HouseS

In his speech, he added that gas prices were “just hit $ 1.98 in many conditions.”

This is a statement that he has made several times, but we cannot find evidence of prices so low.

As of April 29, no country has an average gas price of $ 2.67 ($ 1.99 British), according to AAA.

The President of the United States also talks about the price of eggs – concern for many consumers in the United States due to a continuing hearth of bird flu – and said: “Since I took office, the price of eggs has been declining by 87%.”

This statement is false.

The average national price for users from a dozen class A, when Trump came to office in January, was about $ 4.95 ($ 3.70 pounds).

This rose to a record high around $ 6.23 (£ 4,65) per dozen in March – According to the last numbers available.

The White House cited the prices of wholesale eggs as evidence of improvement.

Wholesale prices have dropped since Trump took office – but by about 52% – from $ 6.55 ($ 4.89) for a dozen large white eggs in January to $ 3.15 ($ 2.34) in the past week, According to the US Ministry of AgricultureS

Trump has long been talking about his efforts to deal with illegal immigration – a key campaign problem last year.

He said: “For two months in a row, we have made records of all time for the largest number of illegal border crossings ever recorded.”

This statement is supported by the recent monthly data on “meetings” of illegal migrants recorded by US -Mexico border officials.

In March there was 7 181 Migrant Meetings There were 8 346 in February.

These are the lowest numbers as these monthly records began in 2000.

By comparison, there were about 140,000 meetings on this border in each of these months last year with President Biden.

His term saw a record number of border crossings, which then fell to the end of his Presidency.

The Think Tank Institute for Migration Policy studied monthly average values ​​of annual data available before 2000 and says that this year’s illegal border crossings are the largest since the late 1960s, not the most “all time”.

President Trump praised the work of Elon Musk at the Ministry of Government Government (Dogi), saying: “They saved over $ 150 billion for waste, fraud and abuse.”

Doge, an advisory body, publishes a total amount of its estimated savings on its website – it was $ 160 billion the last time the site was updated on April 20.

However, less than 40% of this figure is divided into individual savings – which include cancellation of government contracts, grants and leasing.

BBC Analysis Check Found only about half of these detailed savings had a connection to a document or other form of evidence.

Dodge says he works to upload all receipts on a “digestible and transparent way”.

Experts from federal contracts that we said that we raised questions about the largest claimed savings on the DOG and said that some were overestimated.

Trump said, “In three months we created 350,000 jobs.”

This statement is supported by official data.

During the first two full months of Trump until March to March (the last data available) added 345,000 jobs, According to the US Bureau of Labor StatisticsS

However, in the same period last year, 468,000 jobs were added to President Biden.

Trump also said: “For the first time in recent memory, the profits from work for native Americans are now exceeding profits from work for foreign workers.”

It is true that during the first two full months of President Trump, more jobs were created native workers than Born abroad workersS

It also happened between February and April last year with President Biden.
