Trump Faces Low Approval Ratings During Second Term's First 100 Days

As President Trump reached the 100-day milestone of his second term, public opinion polls showed historic lows in his approval ratings, with most Americans expressing dissatisfaction and many grading his performance an 'F.' Economic policies, particularly tariffs, were cited as a major source of disapproval, with no significant new trade deals achieved. Even some conservative commentators described his performance as 'incomplete,' noting some positive aspects in border policy but widespread concern about his economic approach. Within the Republican party, opinions were divided on Trump's national security and foreign policy moves, with some insiders criticizing his clumsy handling of U.S. allies—especially regarding Greenland and Canada—while others praised his unconventional strategies. The confusion and controversy surrounding his administration's actions have become a recurring theme, symbolized by media and comedic portrayals of the administration's challenges and perceived disarray. Overall, the first 100 days of Trump's second term have been marked by deep divisions, both among the public and within his own party.
