U.S. President Donald Trump's Initial 100 Days: Celebrated by His "Make America Great Again" Backers
First Appraisal of Trump's Term: A test of America's Resilience
: "Steel City Showdown" : America at the edge after 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency
In the shadow of rusty steel structures, a symphony of old automobiles hums in the sunlight, their engines purring like a chorus of history. An auto-enthusiast gives a soft whisper, "That's a '32 Chevy," as we pass by. Red Chevys, blue Mustangs, hoods open draw curious onlookers, craning to peer into the guts of these timeless machines.
Nearby, under the shade of a sturdy Chrysler truck, cheers erupt for the leader of the free world and his first 100 days in office. "He's doing what I voted for. Kicking out illegal immigrants – that's mainly it," Andrea, a supporter, declares proudly.
"We shouldn't give them legal procedures. We didn't invite them here, so we can kick them out!"

"And then, I'm a Christian, I don't like all this transgender stuff... Trump, the best president in history! He might be a showboat, but if you deliver on your promises, that's alright," she says, confessing her daily ritual of consuming Fox News.
Unwavering Confidence in Trump's Leadership
In this town, dissent is rare, but there's one issue that raises questions: tariffs and their implications on the U.S. economy. Gene, a devoted Trump voter since 2016, voices her worries, "I hope there's a very good reason why the stock market is crashing like this." Tariffs, she admits, might have a purpose, but she hasn't found the rationale yet.
"I fear the prices won't stop increasing because of the tariffs. I don't think at all that it's going to bring jobs back to the U.S.," she expresses her concerns.
Ron echoes her sentiment, confessing his lack of understanding about the trade war's purpose. However, he is certain of one fact: "Donald Trump is a strategic man. He's a chess player, and good chess players, you don't always understand their moves, but in the end, they win."
"If we must endure a little more hardship now due to tariffs, I believe we'll make it up in the coming months."
