Trump’s First 100 Days: Fear, Failures, and a Nation Left Behind

The first 100 days of Trump’s second term have delivered more confusion than clarity. While his surrogates sell promises of a brighter tomorrow, Americans are living the fallout today—job losses, shrinking retirement accounts, and grocery prices that break budgets. Fifty-nine percent say the economy has worsened, and the fear is real. There’s no longer a platform of ideas, just a string of harmful decisions with no tangible solutions. Trump’s leadership is beginning to resemble autocratic control, not democratic accountability. His party still claims to champion “family values,” but the rising cost of essentials, eroded safety nets, and economic instability say otherwise. These first 100 days have been defined by decline—not progress—leaving millions to ask: When will policy start serving the people again?
