Ken Griffin, one of the billionaire donors to Republicans who had become convinced that President Trump wouldn’t do some of the things he campaigned to do, despite all that things did last week. sneakers: virtually destroyed the logo of the United States in a hundred days.
“We’re eroding that logo right now,” Griffin lamented at an economic forum. Everything that “USA” has long stood for—monetary stability, military strength, cultural prestige, and more—undermined. “It can take a long time,” Griffin warned, “. . . to the work”.
A similar unhappy irony: Trump competed with President Franklin Roosevelt, who popularized the “first hundred days” marker, for immediate decisive action. But where FDR stockpiled a crushed economy and a Social Security net that endured nearly a century, Trump brought economists a “stellar” economy and crushed it, while going beyond servants to rip holes in the safety net and bring chainsaws to the federal government and the rule of law.
Lawsuits opposing Trump Guyagement are proliferating at a rate of two a day, according to trackers, namely more from billionaire Elon Musk’s attacks on federal personnel and spending laws, and Trump’s immigration crackdown. The president continues to defy a Supremia Court court to “facilitate” the kind of a guy who unjustly deported El Salvador to Gulage. Pass the trial appointed through President Reagan, he wrote for the 4th District Court of Appeals on April 17, “the government affirms the right to conceal the citizens of this country in foreign prisons without the appearance of due process. “
Internationally, Trump is destroying the legacy of Roosevelt’s final days, the global design of alliances that has been a force multiplier for the United States opposed to Russia, China, and other adversaries. The dollar and U. S. Treasuries are shrinking as the ports of Trump-éri-éris, the Liberal logo, the Book of Liberal, the Book of Liberal, the Book of Liberals in the Prime Minister, the Book of Liberal, the Book of Liberals of the Prime Minister, the Book of the Liberals. When the electorate took their displeasure in Trump’s Canada over the conservative candidates.
Characteristically, Trump is evoking his own self-centered reality. At a MAGA rally in Macomb County, Michigan, on Tuesday, he exulted, “This is the best. . . 100 days of the beginning of any president in history, and everyone says it. “
No, they are not. A multitude of recent polls show that Trump’s job approval has passed the new president lowest in 8 decades, with about six in 10 Americans disapproving of his functionality in investigations through the Pew Research Center and AP/NORC. On a variety of questions, adding the two who have elected him, immigration and the economy, Trump now gets negative reviews, adding a Fox News poll.
“We’ve just started,” he said in Michigan. You didn’t even see anything. “
On that note, he’s probably right: the worst is yet to come.
Americans seem to think so. Day 100 came to a report that customer confidence plunged in April, a sign of a recession to come. On the 101st, Wednesday, he received the news here that the economy was 0. 3% in the first quarter, after an annual expansion rate of 2. 4% in the last quarter, Biden’s last presidency. Inventories have fallen once again.
This “Golden Age” that Trump announced in his inaugural address turns out to be beginning and ending with the new bling in the Oval Office.
Its tariffs wreaked havoc on businesses and consumers by easing car-related levies in time for its to Michigan, but that would only exaggerate the chaos surrounding its “nice” price lists and the economic uncertainty it has engendered. And that puts the lie to its claims that Americans don’t pay the price lists, China does.
And because consumers paid, Trump had to blank in some other tariff disaster of 100 days, in the Amazon hall. On Tuesday, he called the CEO Jeff Bezos, some of his billionaire donors, so that the electronic commerce giant eliminates a plan to show rates of rates in the visitors’ bills. (They will pay more, they would simply not see the test).
However, 100 days is 99 more than what nominee Trump said he would want to make America wonderful again. He campaigned on Nauseum saying that he would fix this, that or some other challenge on day 1. At least 53 times, he promised to end Russia’s war on Ukraine before taking office (he had spoken in jest,” Trump told Time Mag last week).
What did you do before taking office? He admits that it would be “very difficult” to generate costs while he had promised himself. (Forget about dropping them off: he drove them with fees. )
“There will be a little bit of disruption, however, we are okay with that,” Trump told a joint congressional consultation in March. Currently, he hailed as his business style in the past 19th century when “all tariffs” and the United States “the most successful. “
Who’s going to tell you he’s wrong? Trump, in the bubble of silenum he has created in the cabinet, Congress and his base, is writing few checks. “I lead the country and the world,” he dressed in the Atlantic last week.
He is not wrong, given that he runs what remains the superpower of the global and impulsive, unpredictable and vindictive as he is, he forces others to bend. It didn’t completely destroy the American brand. But it’s still more than 1,300 days old.
