Trump’s Second Hundred Days Matter More

May 16, 2025 · 7:40 am ET · Leave a Comment

Steve Bannon told Axios that President Trump’s second 100 days — ending Aug. 7 — will be pivotal in determining how much of his second-term agenda he’ll actually deliver.

Said Bannon: “What happens between now and Labor Day really defines — more than even the first 100 days of flood-the-zone — not just Trump’s second term, but Trump’s legacy.”

He added: “It’s stopping the Third World War. It’s laying out his definitive economic and financial plan, how we’re going to finance it. Plus it’s his assault on the ‘Deep State’ and the redefinition of the Article II powers. And these are all converging into one huge fucking fight.”
