Trump's Turbulent First 100 Days: A Spotlight on Policy and Controversy

As President Trump marks his first 100 days back, scrutiny intensifies on tariffs and his tumultuous strategy.


This article provides an overview of President Trump's actions during his initial days in office, particularly focusing on tariffs, international relations, and internal controversies.

In a whirlwind of policy changes and reversals, President Trump celebrated the 100th day of his second term in office yesterday, sparking intense discussions on tariffs and their impact on American businesses. Traveling to Michigan, Trump underscored his dedication to bolstering the U.S. manufacturing sector while simultaneously easing some auto tariffs, a move that has drawn a mixed response from industry leaders.

Businesses across the nation, particularly toy retailers, find themselves grappling with the consequences of the ongoing tariff dispute, prompting many to halt holiday orders and freeze supply chains. In a recent incident, White House Press Secretary condemned Amazon for suggesting future price hikes related to tariffs, a claim the retail giant vehemently denied.

Trump’s renewed presidency is marked by an erratic blend of initiatives and rapid policy reversals. A newfound focus on cryptocurrency through his company, World Liberty Financial, is raising alarms over potential conflicts of interest that blur the lines between governmental policy and private enterprise.

The administration's claims are often met with skepticism, as numerous fact-checks reveal inaccuracies concerning his frequently reiterated statements. Meanwhile, international competitors, like Alibaba from China, continue to leverage their advantage, helping sellers access alternative markets outside of the U.S.

On domestic fronts, House Republicans propose significant changes to asylum applications, introducing a charge of $1,000 for migrants seeking refuge. Additionally, a federal watchdog has launched inquiries into possible unlawful financial decisions made by the Trump administration, which could potentially involve withholding billions designated for specific programs.

Adidas has also warned consumers about impending price increases on sneakers due to tariffs, while reports reveal an alarming trend of the administration dismissing numerous scientists and experts who were engaged in vital climate research.

As Trump charts a course for the future, the first 100 days signal a dramatic realignment of policies, leaving citizens and communities to contemplate the broader implications of his leadership.
