Trump's Second Term: 100 Days of Controversy

President Donald Trump’s first 100 days of his second term have been characterized by the issuance of over 140 executive orders, including mandates on immigration enforcement, eliminating DEI initiatives, and requiring English proficiency for truck drivers. These sweeping policy changes have sparked significant debate and division among Americans and industry leaders. Trump’s trade war and tariff policies have coincided with a contraction in the U.S. economy, although he denies any connection and promises an economic boom. In foreign policy, his transactional approach has been exemplified by a controversial U.S.-Ukraine minerals agreement, while his assertiveness has strained traditional alliances. The administration has also faced turbulence from a national security scandal involving the National Security Adviser and a major White House staff shakeup. Polls indicate Trump’s approval rating has declined, with a majority of Americans expressing fear about his presidency, though he continues to push his agenda.
