DJT and 100 days of epic failure.
A legislative failure. Only 5 bills into law, none of them major, making this the worst performance at the start of a new president’s term in more than a century.
An economic failure. Growth has slowed, consumer and business confidence has cratered, and markets have plunged, along with Americans’ wealth. Tariffs tariffs tariffs.
A foreign-policy failure. He said he could end wars in Gaza and Ukraine. But fighting has resumed in Gaza after the ceasefire negotiated by Biden ended, and Russia continues to assault Ukraine, making a mockery of Trump’s naive overtures to Putin.
Rather than ending the war there on Day One, he’s bored and ready to ‘move on.’ Which translates as ‘Russia wins.’
A failure in the eyes of friends, launching a trade war against Canada, Mexico, Europe and Japan; talk of Canada annexation; threatened Greenland and Panama; and roiled the NATO alliance.
A failure in the eyes of foes, as China menaces Taiwan, punches back hard in the trade war and spreads its global influence to fill the vacuum left by Trump’s retreat from the world.
A constitutional failure. His executive actions, brazen in disregard for the law, have been slapped down more than 80 times already by judges. He is flagrantly defying a unanimous SCOTUS and his appointees are facing contempt proceedings for their abuse of the legal system.
A failure in public opinion. This week’s Economist/YouGov poll finds 42% approving his performance and 52% disapproving — a 16-point swing for the worse since the start of his term. Majorities say the country is on the wrong track and out of control.
Even his few “successes” amount to less than meets the eye. Border crossings are down from already low levels, but despite all the administration’s bravado, there’s little evidence of an increase in deportations. But lots of evidence of abuses.
Hopes for cost-cutting under the Musk U.S. DOGE Service, originally projected at $1 trillion this year, have been scaled back to just $150 billion — and much of that appears to be based on made-up numbers.
His biggest success? Introducing a level of chaos and destruction so high that historians are hard-pressed to find its equal in our history.
We have been through ruinous periods before, but never when the president was the one actively and knowingly causing the ruin. During past upheaval, there wasn’t this sense that the WH, the president, was directing the destruction of 250-year-old American values.
Until today. This is the GOP’s Frankenstein monster.
