Controversial, tyrannical, misogynistic, and xenophobic—these are just a few of the accusations leveled against Donald Trump during his first 100 days in office. Despite his bold promises, the former tycoon has struggled to achieve legislative success, facing multiple setbacks in immigration, healthcare, and border security.
Legal and Policy Failures
So far, Trump has failed to pass major legislation:
- His immigration ban was rejected twice by U.S. courts, highlighting legal pushback against his administration’s strict policies.
- His attempts to repeal and replace Obamacare collapsed, as Republicans failed to agree on an alternative healthcare plan.
- The border wall with Mexico, one of his signature campaign promises, remains unfunded, with no clear path forward for construction.

Historic Unpopularity
Despite toning down his aggressive rhetoric, Trump remains the least popular president in modern history at this stage of his presidency. With an approval rating hovering around 40%, analysts argue that his lack of political experience has significantly hindered his ability to govern effectively.
