On April 30th, when Trump's second term had exactly passed 100 days, he held a 100-day celebration rally. As the name suggests, this gathering was meant to showcase and celebrate the achievements of his administration during this period.

However, it was obvious that Trump had nothing substantial to show for. Although he had "grandly" done many things during his 100 days in office, most of them ended without results, and some even harmed American interests to a certain extent.

Nevertheless, he boasted that one of the important tasks of his second term was not only to manage the entire United States but also to manage the whole world, and even try to "save the world".

However, the latest public opinion poll data from American media was like a heavy bomb, exposing Trump's governance predicament. His approval rating for the first 100 days of his presidency had dropped to 39%, setting a record low in 80 years. This clearly showed that the public had strong "discontent" towards him.

On American social media, people could see complaints and criticisms from American citizens about the Trump administration, ranging from economic policies to immigration issues, from foreign affairs to domestic governance. Trump's series of measures have been widely questioned and criticized.

Discontent within the United States towards Trump

In recent times, Trump has raised the so-called "America First", wielding the tariff stick and imposing high tariffs on many trading partners.

But what happened? US stocks plummeted dramatically like a roller coaster, investors' wealth shrank instantly, US bonds were dumped crazily, the credit and attractiveness of US Treasury bonds plummeted; the dollar also continued to depreciate, and its position in the international monetary market was precarious.

American businesses were suffering. Import costs increased significantly, many companies' supply chains were disrupted, production and operations陷入了困境, consumers were also not spared, prices kept rising, living costs became higher, and people's quality of life was severely affected.

This kind of policy that harms others without benefiting oneself naturally sparked strong dissatisfaction among all sectors of American society.

In these 100 days of governance, Trump was also keen on demonstrating his power through executive orders. He issued a total of 178 executive orders and memorandums. This behavior did not win him public support but instead triggered "concerns" across the country over his abuse of power.

These executive orders covered a wide range of fields, from immigration policies to cuts in educational funding, from environmental protection to reforms of government agencies. Many of these executive orders were hastily introduced, lacking thorough research and argumentation, and even more so, they were full of loopholes in their implementation, causing a series of chaos and problems.

The American media sector did not hold back in attacking Trump. Major media outlets published comments criticizing Trump for exacerbating political divisions within the United States after regaining power.

Under his leadership, American society seemed to be torn into different camps, with increasing political differences, sharpening social contradictions, and Trump's policies disrupting the global economic order, making relations between the United States and many allies and partners tense. The media bluntly described Trump's first 100 days in office as an "epic failure".

In just these 100 days, Trump not only failed to unite various forces and promote the development of the United States but also "provoked" many of his own people.

Trump had disagreements and quarrels with his benefactor Musk, who even left Trump's team voluntarily. He also had disputes with Treasury Secretary Beasant and others on policies, making internal contradictions within the government public.

Trump's governing team was陷入 chaos and infighting. This internal division and discord undoubtedly further weakened Trump's governance capability and credibility.

Now, Trump is facing the node of his 100 days in office, but he is confronted with a situation riddled with holes - a sharp drop in approval ratings, continuous domestic opposition voices, damage to the international image, and internal splits within the governing team. What was originally supposed to be a victory celebration gathering now feels more like an embarrassing "farce".
