Trump’s historically low 100-day approval rating, the lowest in 80 years, is a significant event sparking considerable discussion. This unprecedented low figure immediately raises questions about its implications and the broader political landscape. It’s a stark contrast to previous presidential starts, suggesting a level of disapproval rarely seen in recent history.
The sheer magnitude of the low approval rating demands attention. It begs the question of whether such a low number truly reflects public opinion or if other factors are at play. Some suggest the current political climate is so polarized that traditional measures of approval are less reliable.

Trump isn’t making America great—he’s making it unrecognizable. The nation feels like a twisted caricature, a warped reflection of its former self, fueled by anxieties and resentments expertly manipulated. It’s as if decades of inflammatory rhetoric, the kind spouted at family gatherings by the most stubborn, opinionated relatives, have suddenly materialized into reality.
Trump isn’t building a better future; he’s dismantling the present. The hope of progress, of a nation striving for equality and opportunity, feels distant, replaced by a pervasive sense of unease and division. The very fabric of the nation seems to be unraveling, leaving many questioning the future.… Continue reading

During his first 100 days, President Trump actively dismantled various aspects of American society, including government institutions, civil rights, and international alliances. This was a deliberate effort to overturn the advancements of the 20th century, a period marked by increased equality, wealth, and global influence. Trump’s actions, echoing the views of paleolibertarian thinkers, aim to create a less equal, less educated, and more insular nation. This includes attacks on higher education, civil rights legislation, and even the 14th Amendment, all while enacting economically destructive tariffs. The result is a deeply unpopular president presiding over a rapidly unraveling nation.

President Trump’s second term deviates sharply from predecessors, exhibiting characteristics of an elected monarchy rather than a republic. His governance relies heavily on executive orders—exceeding previous presidents’ rates—often bypassing Congress and targeting institutions critical of his administration. This includes intimidation tactics against the judiciary, media outlets, and universities, coupled with the declaration of multiple national emergencies to expand executive power. Such actions, combined with his foreign policy choices, raise serious concerns about the erosion of democratic norms and institutions in the United States.
