April 29 marks Donald Trump 's 100th day in office for his second term in the White House after mounting a remarkable political comeback.

His second presidency has brought sweeping executive orders, mass layoffs within the federal government and deportation tactics that have prompted an intense legal and political battle.

While his administration has been busy in the nation's capital, Trump's Florida roots are evident in his frequent trips to Mar-a-Lago and high-profile sporting events. Plus, allies in the state legislature have been quick to follow directives on directors from deportations to renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the " Gulf of America .”

Trump visits to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, sporting events and his golf courses

Trump came to his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach nine times in his first 100 days in the White House with 10 visits overall to his home state. Since his inauguration in January, he has spent all but three weekends at home.

He also attended several Florida sporting events as a spectator, including the Ultimate Fighting Championship 314 event in Miami, the Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach and the LIV Golf Tournament in South Florida. He famously visited his three golf clubs here on LIV Golf weekend, which occurred during the nationwide “Hands Off” anti-Trump, anti-Elon Musk rallies. Florida alone had 45 protests, and some were held down the road from Mar-a-Lago.

In addition to signing executive orders, visiting home and attending exclusive events like the Super Bowl, Trump, of course, has made time to golf quite a few rounds himself .

Elected official shakeups with a Florida-heavy administration: Who is in Trump’s inner circle?

Trump chose more than a dozen people from Florida to fill top positions in his cabinet. This includes Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Kimberly Guilfoyle as the pick ambassador to Greece.

Two Congressional seats in Florida opened up after Trump plucked their representatives for his team. Former Rep. Matt Gaetz from the Pensacola area resigned when he was nominated for attorney general before dropping that bid over sexual misconduct allegations; Rep. Mike Waltz from the Volusia, Flagler and Lake County area went on to the White House national security adviser.

Republicans Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine won their special elections to fill those empty seats, respectively, but the margins were notably smaller than the November 2024 elections.

Florida falls in line with Trump on immigration policies

Carrying out mass deportations has been a central promise from Trump throughout his campaign. During his first 100 days, his administration embarked on several initiatives to achieve this, even as some judges have ruled against the administration in challenges to the law.

Some of those efforts have found their way to Florida, including a "first-of-its-kind partnership” between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Florida law enforcement officials known as Operation Tidal Wave aimed at cracking down on immigration enforcement. In the first week of the partnership that launched April 21, the group arrested nearly 800 people.

Florida lawmakers have also eagerly moved to rename the body of water to the west of the Sunshine State to the "Gulf of America" following Trump's executive order. It was previously known as the Gulf of Mexico. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed laws that change every reference in state laws, state agencies and new textbooks to also change the name.

Trump, Elon Musk protests popped up all over the country, Florida included

Americans across the country have turned out to protest Trump's actions, and Florida is no exception.

During the nationwide "Hands off!" protests against Trump and Elon Musk on April 5, more than 40 events were organized in Florida .

Hundreds of people also gathered in Boca Raton on April 19 to protest the president's policies.

About 70 people also gathered near Daytona Beach International Airport on April 26 to protest Avelo Airlines' decision to charter flights deporting people from the U.S.

Trump is headed to Michigan to celebrate 100 days amid impeachment articles

Trump is headed to Michigan to celebrate his first 100 days. His afternoon started with an executive order to provide relief to automakers from his tariffs in Harrison Township before he is set to host a rally at Macomb Community College in Warren.

Trump's visit to the state comes the day after Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan introduced an impeachment resolution to the U.S. House of Representatives, which is unlikely to move forward given the Republicans' control of Congress.
