The first 100 days of President Trump's second term reflect dramatic changes in federal governance reminiscent of Roosevelt's New Deal, aiming to marginalize independent institutions such as the judiciary and media. While Trump touts a new golden age, his policies have exacerbated economic uncertainty, weakened support for vulnerable populations, and disrupted international relations. Furthermore, his unchecked presidential power poses threats to constitutional integrity, while attempts to enforce immigration policies have been hampered by legal challenges, leading to a chaotic governance environment that prioritizes control over collaboration.
In just three months, Trump has increased the likelihood of an economic recession, weakened the government's ability to meet unexpected crises, and undermined the Constitution's balance of powers.
Though Trump proclaimed this was the onset of a new golden age, his moves have so far left the country worse off than when he re-entered the White House.
Trump has governed by granting himself a vast increase in unauthorized presidential power, seeking to weaken traditionally independent branches of government.
Highly publicized court challenges have also contributed to a slow start of his efforts to deport millions who came here illegally, starting with gang members.
