#特朗普就职百日

As of the end of April 2025, the first 100 days of President Trump's second term have shown an unprecedented pace and controversy in policy advancement, having a profound impact on U.S. domestic affairs, economy, and foreign relations.

⸻

🇺🇸 Domestic Affairs and Administrative Reform

Trump signed over 140 executive orders, setting a historical record, covering various areas such as immigration, education, and government structure. He established the 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE) led by Musk, significantly reducing federal agencies, laying off or buying out over 100,000 federal employees, and dissolved the Department of Education, eliminating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies.

⸻

📉 Economic and Tariff Policy

Trump implemented a large-scale tariff policy, leading to turmoil in global markets. In the first quarter of 2025, U.S. GDP contracted at an annualized rate of 0.3%, marking the first negative growth since 2022. Although the White House blamed this on the previous administration, economists generally agree that tariffs and cuts in government spending are the main reasons.

🌍 Foreign Affairs and International Relations

The Trump administration withdrew from multiple international treaties, cut foreign aid, and strained relationships with traditional allies. He proposed radical claims such as reclaiming the Panama Canal and annexing Canada, weakening U.S. global influence and providing opportunities for competitors like China and Russia.

⸻

🧭 Challenges to Democracy and Rule of Law

Trump ignored judicial rulings, pardoned over 1,500 individuals related to the 2021 Capitol riot, and pushed for an expansion of presidential immunity. He viewed loyalty as a standard for appointments, further undermining the independence of the civil service and raising widespread concerns about democratic institutions and the rule of law.

📊 Public Opinion and Evaluation

According to polls, 49% of Americans believe Trump's policies have had a negative impact on their lives, while only 32% hold a positive view. Experts point out that despite Trump's display of strong leadership style, the social divisions and economic instability resulting from his policies may pose long-term challenges for the future of the United States.

Overall, President Trump's first 100 days in office demonstrate a strong intent for change, but also provoke widespread controversy and uncertainty, having a profound impact on the direction of U.S. domestic and foreign policies.
