Donald Trump's presidency has faced criticism for its lack of major legislative accomplishments, especially in comparison to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s transformative New Deal. His first 100 days have not only failed to adhere to a traditional measure of success but have also crippled democratic norms and caused economic missteps. Despite a spike in polling post-election, Trump's impact has been controversial, serving as a transforming force for his political supporters while leading to widespread concern over the country's future stability.
Trump has passed no major legislation, and his economic interventions have had the opposite effect of Roosevelt's, injecting uncertainty into a healthy recovery and seeding an economic crisis.
Judged against Roosevelt's record, the first 100 days of the second Trump term would be deemed a miserable failure, smashing democratic norms and crippling federal bureaucracy.
