Trump's Attempts to Alter America's Landscape in His Initial Centennial Period

Ah, the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term - a whirlwind of executive actions, polarizing headlines, and unabashed redefining of the relationship between the government and the citizenry.

When Trump touches down in politically legendary Macomb County, Michigan on Tuesday for a milestone celebration, he'll proudly display his innovative take on presidential power. This power plays out in various ways, including slashing the federal workforce, withholding funds for domestic and foreign aid, stymieing illegal immigration, boosting cryptocurrency, strangled trade, punishing independent institutions, and effectively outlawing diversity initiatives.

Trump and his cronies have mercilessly attacked federal judges who have blocked some of these policies - one high-profile example being not complying with a district court judge's order to halt deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.

Comparisons with past presidencies are inevitable as Trump pushes the boundaries of presidential powers in relative peace and economic stability. From Abraham Lincoln to FDR, past presidents have tested constitutional limits to protect the nation, but none have managed power across such a broad range of issues with such disregard for Congress and the courts as Trump.

Now, a new NBC News Stay Tuned poll reveals that Trump's handling of his presidency is looking grim with 55% of adults disapproving of his performance, while only 45% approve. Moreover, Pew Research Center states that Trump's approval stands at a disappointing 40%, down from 47% two months ago. Ouch!

As for Trump's economy, well, a significant chunk of Americans aren't impressed. Forty-nine percent of Americans say Trump has made the American economy weaker, compared to former President Joe Biden. On the flip side, only 37% say he has bolstered the economy. What's more, confidence in Trump's economic decision-making abilities has dropped among Republicans themselves from an impressive 92% to a mere 80%.

Worries about inflation and the potential for a recession loom large, despite Trump's pledges to eradicate inflation and the significance drop in its rate. Many Americans feel that Trump's policies, specifically his use of tariffs, have jeopardized their personal finances, fueling doubts about his suitability as an economic steward. In conclusion, Trump's remaining staunchly loyal base notwithstanding, it seems that the majority of folks are growing increasingly disillusioned with his performance on the economy.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who might be eyeing a 2028 presidential bid, believes Democrats need to focus on Trump's handling of the economy amid all the executive action and distractions. "The foundational thing we should be focused on is how he's wrecked this economy," Newsom said. "That is the issue that should animate us."
