With that speech in Michigan this evening, President Donald Trump's 100th day in office is coming to a close.

He's had a busy day, most of it spent in Michigan, one of the swing states he likes to remind detractors that he won in last year's election.

He used the traditional presidential milestone to focus on several of his favourite topics, such as defence, immigration and the economy.

Trump spoke earlier to Michigan National Guard troops alongside Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. He promised to invest in their base and get them new fighter jets.

At this evening's rally commemorating the day, he emphasized the rapid changes he's made to the US since taking office - and he has indeed hit the ground running with those changes.

Trump's first 100 days have been marked by a sweeping use of presidential powers to make major moves: tariffs on imports, slashing programmes such as the international development agency USAID, face-offs between the executive and judiciary branches and implementing his campaign promise of mass deportations.

Many supporters say they welcome these moves as fulfilling Trump's pledges to voters. But 100 days in, opinion polls suggest many critics are worried about the direction the country is going in.

Are egg prices down 87% under Trump?published at 01:22 British Summer Time

01:22 BST

Earlier, President Trump spoke about the price of eggs and claimed: “Since I took office, the cost of eggs is down 87%".

We can't find any evidence for this claim.

The average national price for consumers of a dozen large Grade A eggs when Trump entered office in January was about $4.95 (£3.70).

But rather than falling, the price of eggs hit a record high of around $6.23, external per dozen in March - the latest available figures.

The White House has pointed to wholesale egg prices as evidence of improvement.

Wholesale prices have gone down, external since Trump took office - 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 Department of Agriculture.

Trump has been speaking to supporters in Michigan, touting what he sees as his first 100 days accomplishments.

But not everybody in the US is a fan of the president's first 100 days agenda.

We’re at The Gathering Spot in Atlanta, one of the city’s first black-owned member clubs.

When I ask real estate broker Spencer Petersen how he’s feeling about the first 100 days of the Trump presidency, he lets out a long sigh. “Can I compose myself first?”

Then he doesn’t hold back.

“He’s a disgrace to America, worse than he was as the 45th president. The difference now? He’s emboldened. Backed by billionaires. He has the financial support to push an agenda that looks like dictatorship.”

Trump made a clear play for the black male vote in Georgia - but Petersen says it doesn’t add up.

“I have no idea how he got that support. Past presidents tried to unite us. Trump? He’s deepening the divide.”

Are gasoline prices down under Trump?published at 01:14 British Summer Time

01:14 BST

Earlier in his speech in Michigan tonight, President Donald Trump claimed that "gasoline prices are down by a lot" since he took office.

The average price for "regular" gas - or petrol - is currently $3.16, external, according to data by the American Automobile Association (AAA). That’s actually slightly up from $3.125, external on the day Trump entered office.

Trump added that gas prices "just hit $1.98 in a lot of states" - a claim he has made several times recently. We cannot find any evidence of these prices.

No state has an average gas price lower than $2.67, according to AAA.

If anyone wants to cross the Rio Grande illegally to get into the US, there are deterrents.

There are floating barriers, deep currents, alligators and miles of coiled razor wire. Border Agent Mickey Donaldson tells me a lot of this "slows people down", but they lack "consequences".

"In the first part of my career and anyone that saw a green uniform, pretty much ran from us," he says, but last year they "actually saw people looking for us".

He says the agents now have more resources to help people making the crossing who find themselves in danger, but also enforce policies to apprehend them.

They're seeing results. Crossings at the US-Mexico border were going down at the end of President Biden's term anyway, but have significantly dropped under President Trump.

Trump has built his political career largely on immigration. "Build the wall" was one of his most famous promises first time round. That barrier still remains incomplete.

Trump round two has created a goal of carrying out the biggest mass deportation in US history.

Polls suggest whilst most Americans are happy with his policy, cases of people being sent to foreign prisons without court hearings are worrying them.

John, a Trump supporter in the Texas border town of Eagle Pass, says anyone who has been deported who shouldn't have been should be brought back.

Alex, a legal resident from Mexico, says he is scared that "one simple mistake" could get him deported.

Trump's speech tonight in Michigan very much aimed at the president’s base. At times, the gymnasium outside of Detroit felt almost intimate - with Donald Trump shouting out people he recognized from past rallies.

The president touted his tariff and trade policies which he says will bring jobs back to areas like this.

He also received huge applause for his immigration crackdown and deportations of alleged gang members.

But at a time when polls show his approval rating slipping, there was little, if anything, for the rest of the country.

Much of the address played out like a campaign rally. He bashed Democrats, falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen and even insisted recent opinion polls don’t show his true popularity.

It’s unlikely this speech will do much to calm any of the concerns outside his MAGA base.

Are border crossings under Trump lowest on record?published at 00:53 British Summer Time 30 April

00:53 BST 30 April

Speaking about his progress reducing illegal border crossings in his first 100 days, President Trump said: “For two months in a row, we have set all time records for the lowest number of illegal border crossings ever recorded”.

The latest data shows, external that there were 7,181 encounters of migrants by border officials at the US-Mexico border in March. The month before it was 8,346.

These are the the lowest numbers since monthly records began in 2000.

By comparison, there were about 140,000 encounters by border patrol at this border in March last year under President Biden, whose term saw records numbers of border crossings, though figures had tapered by the end of his term.

According to the Migration Policy Institute, which looked at monthly averages of annual figures before 2000, crossings under Trump so far are the lowest since the 1960s, not the lowest of all time.

Trump has stopped speaking after around an hour and a half on stage in Michigan. The winding speech featured all of the president's usual talking points with emphasis on his latest policies too.

Here are some of the key moments:

• Trump took aim at wokeness, "trans ideology", and DEI, saying he's gotten rid of all of them in his first 100 days
• On undocumented immigration, the president says he's made major progress, deporting gang members and "savages"
• He also doubled down on his pledge to end birthright citizenship
• He touted what he says is the success of his tariffs, saying he's going to make a deal with China

• He took aim at his political enemies, including Democrats, Republicans who disagree with him and former President Joe Biden, calling them "criminals".

While inside the Michigan rally, Trump supporters are cheering, pictures from outside show protesters gathering to vent their frustration with the president.

Protesters are holding signs that read "100 days of lies", "liberty and justice for all" and "Trump is destroying our democracy".

Trump has brought up a handful of advisers and guests from the crowd over the course of the past hour.

Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff to Trump, was among them. Miller applauded Trump's first 100 days in office.

Miller says Trump has achieved the most secure border in American history and goes on to laud him for "draining the swamp".

Trump is now moving onto his tariff agenda, saying that it will lead to a strong US economy - even if it has roiled markets all over the world.

"We get along with China," he begins.

"I think it's gonna work out. They want to make a deal. We're going to make a deal. It's going to be a fair deal," he says.

He then turns to Canada and Mexico, claiming that the US is "subsidising" both countries.

"We want to protect our people," he says, adding that Biden was not interested in helping US workers.

Trump is continuing to boast of what he sees as his successes in his first 100 days.

He's repeated many of the same talking points throughout his speech, on subjects such as the economy, immigration and foreign policy.

To remind you, you can watch live by hitting the play button at the top of this page.

Here are some of his key lines:

• Trump has levelled numerous attacks on his ex-opponent Joe Biden, mocking him as both "Sleepy Joe" and "Crooked Joe"

• He hit out at the chair of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, saying: "I know much more about interest rates, believe me"
• He also took credit for a drop in immigration rates, and argued that jobs for "native-born Americans" are on the rise

Trump has turned now to attacking judges who he says are trying to infringe on the president's power.

He goes on to say that the US cannot allow a handful of "communist" judges to prevent the enforcement of the law.

He says he wants the Supreme Court to take the issue on.

"Nothing will stop me in the effort to keep America safe again," he says.

Trump plays greatest hits for a crowd that thirsts for morepublished at 23:40 British Summer Time 29 April

There is nothing new under the sun, as the proverb goes, and that's especially true of Donald Trump rallies.

This speech looks identical to the dozens of events Trump held during the election, kicking off with a playlist of songs including YMCA and God Bless the USA.

The president proceeds to take aim at his critics - everyone from Democrats, Republicans who slightly disagree with him, the media, pollsters, government bureaucrats and China.

As he flits from topic to topic he peppers his comments about immigration with graphic descriptions about "bloodthirsty gangs", "violent savages" and "rape and slaughter".

He continues to insist, contrary to reality, that he won the 2020 election, that opinion polls showing he's an unpopular president are fiction, and that the cost of eggs is down 87%.

Many in the crowd will have heard all this before, at previous rallies - but it appears tubthumping repetition hasn't muted their enthusiasm.

Trump adds that his opponents "cheered the assassination of CEOs", appearing to reference the murder of a healthcare CEO in New York City last year.

He adds that they "looted our cities," and "tried to jail our politicians" - seemingly in reference to the rioters who were arrested for invading the US capitol on 6 January 2021.

"These people are criminals. If they had their way they would be living in a third world hell hole."

Trump tells the crowd to watch a video of migrants being deported from the US.

The video shows shackled prisoners, having their heads shaved, being forced into cells with their heads down in the notorious Cecot prison in El Salvador.

The administration has been focused on deporting Venezuelan migrants who they claim are members of illegal gangs.

When the video finishes the crowd erupts in a chant of "USA".

"The courts are giving us a hard time," Trump continues, saying judges are trying to prevent "unbelievably bad" people from being deported.

The Democrats stand for allowing mass migration, but we are doing "mass deportation", Trump says.

"The worst of the worst are being sent to a no-nonsense prison in El Salvador", Trump says, in reference to the notorious Cecot prison where El Salvadoran authorities have been accused of committing human rights violations.

Trump goes on to boast of having deployed the military on the first day of his term to block "the invasion of our border".

"I banned all welfare to illegals and signed an order that would end automatic citizenship to the children of illegals," he continues.

His order to ban birth right citizenship has been blocked by US courts, and the case seems likely to end up before the Supreme Court. Most legal experts say it will be difficult for Trump to remove automatic citizenship for anyone born in the US, which is protected by the Constitution.

"Joe Biden told us it was impossible to end the flow of immigration, he said they needed legislation, turns out all they needed was a new president," Trump says, continuing his many attacks on the former president.

Trump says before he took office the US was a third-world nation, and it would have continued to be if the "radical left lunatics" had won.

He repeats the unsubstantiated claim that Democrats cheated in previous presidential elections.

"They tried to cheat on this election but we made it too big to rig," he said.

Trump now turns his attention to immigration.

He accuses the Biden administration of letting "immigrants rape and murder" Americans.

"I can report this heinous betrayal is over", he continues, saying Washington has now secured the border.

He says his administration has set "all time records" for the lowest number of illegal border crossings into the United States, and that even the "fake news media" are reporting it.
