Timeline of the Donald Trump presidency (2017 Q1)

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

The following is a timeline of the presidency of Donald Trump during the first quarter of 2017, beginning from his inauguration as the 45th president of the United States on January 20, 2017, to March 31, 2017. To navigate between quarters, see timeline of the Donald Trump presidency. For the Q2 timeline see timeline of the Donald Trump presidency (2017 Q2).

Overview[edit]

Economy and employment[edit]

In the first quarter of 2017, the real U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 0.7%, the slowest growth since the first quarter of 2014. The growth was primarily caused by an increase in business structures and equipment (such as mining and wells), industrial supplies and materials (like petroleum), and services. This was offset by decreases in motor vehicles and parts, private inventory investment, and government spending.[1] On March 31, 2017, the U.S. national debt stood at $19.8 trillion[2] representing a quarterly decline of 0.65%.[3]

Public opinion[edit]

According to FiveThirtyEight, President Trump's approval rate at the end of March was 40.5%, down 5% from the start of his presidency.[4]
