100 days of Donald Trump: In a ‘Tornado’. world News

On January 20, 2025, the inauguration marked Donald Trump’s beginning of the second presidential position. Since he has taken charge, American politics has changed so much that it is difficult to believe that it has been only 100 days, during which many 180-degrees have been turned. Whether it is a fundamental change in US foreign policy Tariff On the import of the world, it is hardly a day when white House The immediate “breaking news” has not been the source of immediate “breaking news.
Professor Patrick Malon of Public Administration and Policy Department at American University at Washington, DC said, “No matter which side you are sitting, I think most people will agree that it is relatively busy.” “He definitely came in a gun.”
Experts say that there is a strategy behind all action.
Time magazine It is called “Power Grabs, Strategic Shifts and a Blitz of Direct Attack”, which leaves the opponents shocked at home and abroad. American citizens who disagree with Trump’s new direction are uncertain as to where to start to increase any kind of protest. Should they demonstrate against Trump’s complete disregard for climate change and their plans to increase drilling for oil? Or to reduce the separation of powers, because the administration deports immigrants in violation of court orders made by federal judges?
Or maybe it may be restricted from white house press conferences, as some outlets consider Trump to be undesirable, which needs protests earlier? Or maybe it should be clampdown on freedom of expression because universities and researchers are cut off with federal funds?
This second Trump administration is dividing the country as before. Yet as it is happening, many people are asking: How many promises Trump has made to his followers before the election last November. chairman Really kept?
End war in Ukraine
In May 2023, at a program at New Hampshire, Trump said that if selected, he would immediately end the war in Ukraine.
He said, “They are dying, Russia and Ukrainian. I want them to stop dying. And I must have done it – I will do it in 24 hours,” he said.
But the war is still going on, and Trump had to accept that he was not able to end the struggle. The Trump administration is working unilaterally on any kind of solution, but without the support of traditional colleagues of America, and with the agreement that is in favor of Russians on Ukrainian. Even during this first phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump used to give far -reaching concessions for Russian arguments, even though it was Russia who attacked Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelansky received a darbing from Trump and Vice President JD Vance When he visited the White House to be “ungrateful”. As a result of Frackas, military aid in Ukraine was stopped, although it has been resumed since.
Recently, President Trump criticized Ukraine that Crimea should be considered part of the Ukrainian region, rather than surrendered to the peninsula to their enemy, to provide a quick peace. In Ukraine, the locals affected by the ongoing war are suddenly shocked about their most important supporter.
It is not just Ukraine. The western partners of America are also worried about where Trump’s loyalty. He has questioned American participation in NATO Military Alliance. He has also said that he cannot protect NATO countries, who think that they should not spend enough on their defense, should Russia attack them. They eventually withdrew it, but it has become abundant to European countries that they could no longer trust America the way they used to do.
Trump: ‘Kick Out Bloodthor Criminals’
The immigration policy was one of Trump’s favorite campaign issues. At an event in New York in October 2024, he promised that if selected, he will start the biggest exile program in American history. Trump said that he would “japed these vicious and blood -soaked criminals, then will soon get them out of the hell from our country.”
In fact, at least so far, Trump’s exile program has not been particularly quick. In February, the first full month in Trump’s office, the US government deported around 11,000 migrants. In February 2021, the first month of the administration of Biden, the number was around 12,000. However, NBC News has reported that fewer people are crossing the southern border with Mexico in the US under Trump.
Malon says that Trump has definitely made immigration more difficult. “Some people will consider that one success, some will consider that American is not in line with values.”
Economy: ‘America is back’
Trump campaigned on the promise that the American economy would bounce under his leadership. One of his slogans was “Make America Cheap again” – prices would fall on the first day of his presidential, he promised – as he said he would end the war in Ukraine, which would be within 24 hours of coming to the office.
This is for some products, such as gasoline. Prices for flights and hotels also decreased, as was done by overall inflation. Meanwhile, according to the AP news agency, the average prices of goods except for the highly unstable costs of gasoline and food were 2.8% higher than one year ago in March, the lowest increase in about four years.
“President Trump’s policies are reducing inflation, reducing inflation,” the Economic Advisory Team of the White House, the Council of Economic Advisors Council, Stephen Miran said, “Economic Advisory Team President of White House Stephen Miron said in an interview with CNBC,”
However, for many Americans, shopping in supermarkets is equally expensive at the beginning of Trump’s tenure. Weekly shopping for a two-person house can spend more than $ 150 (€ 130), even in less expensive areas outside major cities.
Trump’s tariff: promised, cause concern?
After his election, Trump announced that he would “ridiculously open borders” and abolish the US trade deficit policy. In April, the Trump administration introduced a series of protective tariffs on almost all goods imported to the US. So: kept the promise.
However, it makes some products more expensive for American consumers and endangens the installed trade relationship. According to a survey by Pew Research Center, Americans now see the economic situation and future of their country more seriously, which was done in February, immediately after Trump, and First He announced his tariff.
At that time, 40% of the respondents said that they hoped that the US economy would be in better size in next February, while 37% believe the situation would deteriorate. In April, only 36% of the US thought that the economic situation would be better in a year time. Conversely, 45% believed that the US economic situation would deteriorate.
,We do not have stability in the government ‘
A certain amount of uncertainty may stems from the fact that the Trump administration suspended or quickly excludes the scrap tariff. Such flip-flopping, stated that Malon, is bad for any well-working government’s central column: stability.
“This is the first 100 days, it’s a tornado, but it’s not that it is only progress,” the political scientist told DW. The Trump administration introduced many things, then withdrawn them again. This was clear in tariffs, but also in sorting in many branches of the government. Initially, thousands of people were discontinued, although some of these employees, for example, were re -designed, in the areas of aviation and nuclear security.
“This is a very difficult way of running the government,” Malon said. “All governments want continuity and they want to predict and they want to move slowly … you need stability in the government, and this is not yet stability.”
