Trump's disastrous first 100 days--by the numbers

President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office have been an abject disaster.

He took a strong economy and nuked it with nonsensical tariffs that are expected to spike inflation and sink the country into a recession. That, in turn, has tanked the stock market, which has cost Americans trillions.

Trump has also taken an axe to the federal government, slashing jobs and hobbling the federal government’s ability to provide critical services, such as Social Security assistance and weather forecasting.

He’s also making good on his pledge to be a dictator, targeting law firms in an effort to scare the legal community out of trying to block his illegal actions and defend the enemies he’s trying to punish. And he’s thrust the country into a full-blown constitutional crisis by ignoring court orders.
