Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has announced plans for his first 100 days in office if elected president which included steps like declaring China a currency manipulator, cancelling payments to UN for combating climate change and renegotiating NAFTA.
“I’m not a politician, and have never wanted to be one. But when I saw the trouble our country was in, I knew I couldn’t stand by and watch any longer. Our country has been so good to me, I love our country, I felt I had to act,” Trump said in his address in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
“Change has to come from outside this broken system. The fact that the Washington establishment has tried so hard to stop our campaign is only more proof that our campaign represents the kind of change that only arrives once in a lifetime,” he said while releasing details of his plans which he described as a ‘Contract with the American voter’.

He urged the American people to “rise above the noise and the clutter of broken politics” and to embrace faith and optimism that has always been the central ingredient in the American character.
“I am asking you to dream big,” the 70-year-old business tycoon asserted.
“What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again. It is a contract between Donald J Trump and the American voter – and begins with restoring honesty, accountability and change to Washington,” Trump said.
Among his other first 100 days measures included a lifetime ban on White House officials to lobby on behalf of foreign governments, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated, a five year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service, and a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
