Trump's 100 days: Record orders, record lows in public support
Donald Trump has the lowest public support after 100 days in office among all US presidents since World War II. The "Washington Post" emphasizes that Trump has issued the most executive orders in 80 years.
- According to a survey conducted by Ipsos for "Washington Post" and ABC News, Donald Trump enjoys the support of only 39 percent of respondents.
- These results are after 100 days in office.
- Trump received the lowest rating among US presidents since World War II.
The survey results show that Trump has the lowest support compared to his predecessors. For comparison, George W. Bush had 47 percent support after 100 days in office in 2009, and Barack Obama enjoyed 50 percent support after 100 days of his second term. It is worth noting that Trump issued 142 executive orders, making him the leader in this category.
What are the effects of Trump's actions on the economy?
The "Washington Post" points out that major US stock indexes, such as the S&P 500, recorded declines after 100 days of the new presidential term. The S&P 500 fell by 8.6 percent from January 20, which is the worst result since George W. Bush, when the index fell by 6.9 percent.
Journalists also emphasize that Trump spent almost every weekend on the golf course, which mirrors his previous accusations against Obama.
Trump is accused of spending too much time playing golf instead of focusing on running the country. In 2011, he himself criticized Obama for similar behavior. Trump's current actions are assessed based on the president's schedule and media reports.
