Trump's approval rating hits a new low after 100 days in office, yet he boldly claims to 'manage the world'
Recently, a piece of news shocked the world: Trump openly declared in an exclusive interview with The Atlantic that he not only wants to manage the United States but also the entire world! This astonishing statement quickly sparked global debate.
According to reports, Trump stated during the interview that his second term would be 'a lot of fun,' contrasting it with his first term when he mainly focused on 'managing the country and holding on' while dealing with many 'bad people'; now, he aims to manage the whole world because he wants to save it. However, just as Trump made this statement, a new poll released by The Washington Post, ABC News, and Ipsos dealt him a heavy blow: his approval rating has dropped to 39% due to concerns over the U.S. economic situation and aggressive tariff measures.
In his first 100 days in office, Trump signed over 140 executive orders, appearing decisive but facing continuous controversy. He unilaterally pushed policy goals and retaliated against political opponents, actions that sparked considerable dissatisfaction. His economic policies left the public worried, fearing they might lead to an economic recession, while tariff measures further exacerbated the U.S. economy, increasing living costs and causing his approval rating to continue to decline.
Weeks ago, Trump lashed out at The Atlantic on his social media and refused an interview, but now he has changed his mind. He claims that his agreement to the interview was out of curiosity and to challenge himself, wanting to see if the media could report 'honestly.' However, after this interview, it remains uncertain whether Trump is satisfied with the coverage. In light of such a low approval rating, is Trump's bold claim of 'managing the world' a sign of overflowing confidence or self-deception?
