#Trump100Days

The first 100 days of President Trump were marked by chaos, controversial decisions, and political turbulence. Although he promised to 'drain the swamp' in Washington, many believe that Trump only deepened political divides. Impulsive tweets, staff reshuffles, attacks on the media and the judiciary raised concerns both in the U.S. and abroad. His reforms were partially blocked by Congress or the courts, and attempts to repeal Obamacare, the travel ban for Muslims, and scandals surrounding ties to Russia undermined trust.

Trump's low approval ratings are the result of a combination of unpredictability, conflict, and insufficient ability to deliver on political promises. For a portion of the public, he embodies the struggle against the elites, but for the majority, he is a source of instability. The first hundred days showed that populism is easy to win, but hard to implement.
