Overview

• President Trump has issued more executive orders in his first 100 days than any president in U.S. history, focusing on DEI rollbacks, campus interventions, Pentagon reforms, and the DOGE initiative led by Elon Musk.
• Public approval of Trump's economic policies has dropped significantly, with only 39% supporting his handling of the economy and 34% backing tariffs on imported goods.
• A Washington Post/ABC News-Ipsos poll shows Trump's overall approval rating at 39%, with just 33% support among independents, reflecting widespread economic dissatisfaction.
• The ongoing tariff war has disrupted supply chains, increased costs for businesses, and fueled fears of shortages, exacerbating economic concerns and straining public confidence.
• Trump's presidency now hinges on recalibrating the trade war and passing a key tax bill to stabilize the economy and regain political momentum.
