In contrast, Trump highlighted falling gas and egg prices as proof of success, though experts have questioned the accuracy and relevance of these claims. Meanwhile, public approval of Trump’s economic leadership remains weak, with a majority of Americans disapproving of his performance.
Trump also touted his tough immigration stance, including the reinstatement of the “Remain in Mexico” policy. While he claimed border security has improved, critics argue his administration is relying on previous policies and exposing migrants to unsafe conditions.
On foreign policy, Trump continued to promote his personal diplomacy with leaders like Kim Jong Un, despite little progress. He claimed he could quickly end the war in Ukraine through direct negotiation, though he offered no details and drew skepticism from analysts.
Despite his confidence, polls show only 41% of Americans approve of his presidency so far. Trump dismissed the negative numbers as “fake,” insisting he retains strong support from his base.
As Trump moves beyond his first 100 days, the challenges of economic strain, foreign tensions, and domestic division raise questions about what lies ahead in his second term.
