Overall, Perry believes that the first 100 days is not necessarily the most important time period in a president’s career. In his 100-day plan, which he called a “ Contract With the American Voter,” Trump promised, among other things: “a hiring freeze on all federal employees, … direct the Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator, … cancel billions in payments to U.N. But let us begin.”Ĭontemporary presidential candidates have frequently laid out “100-day plans” in order to woo the public as FDR did. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. Kennedy outlined some of his plans for his term, telling the crowd: “All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. During his inaugural address in 1961, John F. The idea still lingered even when Presidents sought to downplay it.
Since Roosevelt, presidential candidates have solidified a tradition of campaigning with promises about their hypothetical first 100 days in office, and the media and public have followed suit in keeping scrupulous tabs on these first months of a new president’s White House occupancy. That innovation made the 100-days narrative a natural fit. Perry points out that it was not until after FDR’s election that political polling was introduced to measure a President’s performance, so the 1930s saw is the emergence of the attempt to quantify a president’s successes and failures, as well as his public perception. One reason for its lasting impact is the media obsession with covering a President’s first 100 days with extra attention and scrutiny began as soon as FDR introduced the idea.
