Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.

Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.

But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.

    Biden kinda restored USA’s image pretty fast in the world stage, and then made it quite a lot better by standing firmly with Ukraine. After Trump’s second term… it wouldn’t be enough. Because now we know it wasn’t just a one-off mistake or a fluke. 30-50% of americans actually think like that.
