Donald Trump’s sharp 8-word response to anyone who regrets voting for him

Trump Marks 100 Days Back in Office

Donald Trump marked his first 100 days back in the White House with bold celebrations and tough rhetoric, defending his aggressive trade policies despite mounting concerns about rising living costs for Americans.

Campaign Promises vs. Reality

During his 2024 campaign, Trump vowed to make life more affordable, pledging to cut prices “starting on day one” through increased domestic energy production. Instead, his “America First” trade agenda has introduced sweeping tariffs on imports.

New Tariff Measures

In April, Trump imposed a 10% tariff on most countries, with even higher rates scheduled for July. Autos, steel, and aluminum face 25% tariffs, while China was hit with a massive 145% rate — a move the Treasury Secretary compared to an embargo. China retaliated with tariffs of up to 125%, and the EU is preparing countermeasures.

Defending the Policy

In an ABC interview, Trump insisted China would “eat the tariffs,” framing the fight as protection against years of economic abuse. He dismissed concerns about price hikes, claiming his policies are restoring U.S. strength and respect worldwide.

Economic Strain on Families

Analysts warn, however, that the tariffs could cost households between $4,000 and $8,000 annually as prices rise on imports ranging from clothing and electronics to groceries and cars. Polls show growing public frustration.

Approval Ratings Drop

A joint ABC/Washington Post/Ipsos survey found Trump holding the lowest 100-day approval rating in 80 years. Another poll described voter sentiment as “scary” and “chaotic.”

A Divided Nation

While Trump insists the U.S. economy is thriving under his leadership, many Americans see more hardship than progress, leaving the nation sharply divided on his return to power.
