U.S. Vice President Vance published an article today (April 30) saying, "President Trump has made historic progress in the first 100 days of his presidency, but he has also exposed how the deeply entrenched bureaucracy in Washington is undermining the will of the American people. Thank God, we have a president who is fighting back."
Comment: Vance praised Trump for making historic progress in the first 100 days and even fought against the bureaucracy, but the facts are quite different. In terms of domestic affairs, Trump has drastically cut federal agencies and employees, causing government operations to stall, and many policies face more than 200 lawsuits, involving immigration, tariffs, education, and other fields. The public has held over a thousand protests to express dissatisfaction. Recent polls show that his approval rating is only 39%, the lowest among all presidents at the same time since 80 years ago, and his economic policy approval rating is as low as 38%.
In terms of diplomacy, Trump brandishes the tariff stick everywhere, causing global market chaos, alienating allies, and getting stuck in trade negotiations with many countries. The trade agreements he boasted about earlier mostly remain at the verbal stage. On the issue of Ukraine and Russia, from bragging to going back on his word, his policies have shown great indecision. His actions have continuously worsened the international community's perception of the United States. It would be better to say that Trump is dragging the U.S. into dual dilemmas of domestic and foreign affairs instead of fighting against the bureaucracy. The so-called "historic progress" is just self-deception.
