Trump feels political gravity when the economy stalls and polls storm | Donald Trump

“NOT only brave “, but” actually fearless, “said Doug Burgum. The” first 100 days have exceeded the first 100 days from any other presidency in this country, “said Pam Bondi.

Before the TV cameras on Wednesday, TOP cabinet officers alternately changed Donald Trump with the praise that some critics in North Korea were impressively found for politics. But beyond the walls of the White House, the mood shifted. New data showed that the economy is shrinking. The national security advisor was about to be displaced. Opinion surveys told of a president whose unpopularness is historical.

After a hundred days in which Trump sometimes seemed invincible, political gravity is becoming clear. A majority of the Americans view him as a failure as well as a potential dictator. From the dishes to the streets, from legal offices to College campus, the revolt of swelling is. The Republicans in the eye with nervousness.

“The honeymoon are over,” said John Zogby, author and student. “He actually missed his hundred days, maybe they can argue by doing too much, not doing much of it and exceeding his hand. At the end of the 100 days, his election figures reflect an unsuccessful quarter. Every survey I know, including mine, has it upside down. “

Trump competed on January 20 with huge political capital. He defeated his election competitor Kamala Harris in every swing state and won the national popular vote for the first time, albeit less than 50%. After surviving four legal cases, his feeling of justification was absolutely. Tech billionaires and media mogul came to his Mar-Lago estate to kiss the ring.

He started quickly and angry. When Trump signed a record number of management orders – now more than 140 – Democrats looked like a boxer used by a flood of blows in the opening bell. They struggled to find their feet and react to a president who marginalized the congress, judge attack and Elon Musk unleashed the federal government at breathtaking speed.

Michael Steele, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, said: “Reality is that you do it quickly, you do it angry, you do it at different times and levels and places and you can do it with 100 rabbit holes at the same time.

But April 2, who described Trump as a “liberation day”, as he announced military global tariffs, could also be seen as a hand over. His random trade war rattled allies and wiped trillion dollars from the stock exchange. Only the fears in front of a Bond market disaster made him press the break. But he let the tariffs in China up to 145% and Beijing refused to flash.

The chaos shaken the faith of the Trump voters, who believed that he would at least deliver economic competence and guarantee the end result. Food prices are increasing and the tariffs are expected to interfere with the offer chains, which leads to empty shelves that are reminiscent of the Covid 19 pandemic. On Wednesday, Trump admitted that children could “have two dolls instead of 30 dolls” for Christmas and tried to blame his predecessor Joe Biden.

Muschus has now sown further discord. Tens of thousands of people have lost their work. The US development agency USAID, a crucial tool for Soft Power, was closed. According to reports, the social security protection system was declared dead by regional office rejects, accidents on the website and some recipients. Nevertheless, Dogy seems to be too short for savings, and Muschus is preparing to resign.

Trump even loses public support in his signature problem of immigration. He sent troops to the border and expanded the deportation goals, which led to a strong decline in the illegal border crossings. However, the efforts to use the Anien Enemies Act for quick deportations were confronted with legal challenges and concerns regarding the proper procedure.

The aggressive enforcement led to the wrong deportation of Kilmar Ábrego García, a man from Maryland with protected legal status, to a notorious prison in El Salvador. The Supreme Court ordered the government to facilitate its return, but Trump refused.

Trump promised to end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza quickly, but both conflicts remain. His national security advisor Mike Waltz incorrectly added a journalist to a sensitive signal chat in which the military operations discussed. On Thursday it turned out that Waltz would leave his position and instead as a US ambassador for the UN.

Trump swore to be a “dictator” on “Day one”, but critics say that his demands on authoritarianism were undermined by the inability that derailed his first term and led to a destructive defeat in 2020. In the past 80 years he has the lowest approval rate in the 100-day mark of every president.

According to a survey published by the Washington Post Zeitung and the ABC News, only 39% of the Americans agree to how Trump carries out his presidency. About 64% of the respondents stated that he would “go too far” in his efforts to expand the presidential powers.

Another survey by the decision -making promotion -HQ survey resulted in an approval of 44% and 56% disapproval. It was also noticeable that 64% of the respondents gave that tariffs violate consumers, and 91% were concerned about inflation, 62% “very concerned”. The Research Institute (Priri) Apparent Religion Research Institute (Pri) found that 52% agreed that Trump was “a dangerous dictator whose power should be limited before destroying American democracy”.

Opposition manifests itself in an countless way and cuts Trump to size. Around 50 of his executive regulations were partially or completely blocked by courts, while about 40 are in force, according to a count of Associated Press.

Anti-trump demonstrations grow in cities and cities across the country. Democrats keep loud town halls in a traditional republican area. After the law firm, non -profit organizations and universities, originally under Trump's “Days of Thunder”, ended a spine and eat each other's determination. Political commentators feel that the dynamics change.

Charlie Sykes, a conservative author and broadcaster, said: “What Trump had for him was that he created this feeling that he was an irresistible strength, that resistance was out of life that everyone had to take up their moods and agenda.

“But now you see how the Supreme Court pushes back on it, expressed the markets, the alarm and its survey numbers to the south. The shock and the awe, which seemed irresistible for so long, seem to make much more resistance.”

Trump is not the first president to feel the pinch of political gravity. Biden started positively, but in August 2021 his approval rating rose under 50%after he had never recovered after an NBC news survey after the botched military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

A persistent counter -reaction against Trump could be a threat to Republicans who are more loyal than ever before, but have to take care of their seats in the congress in the intermediate elections in November 2026. In the past, the party in which the White House holds has losses in the meantime. The Republicans currently have a narrow 220-213 majority in the House of Representatives.

Patrick Gaspard, a former official in the government of Barack Obama, said: “I would not judge this presidency as a success. We will probably see Republicans, whose names are slowly but clearly removed from this agenda in 2026.
