Americans Divided on Trump’s First 110 Days in Office: A Nation Grades the 45th President
As Donald Trump completes his first 110 days in the Oval Office, Americans remain deeply divided over his performance. Across the country, citizens are offering a range of grades—from A to F—highlighting a sharply polarized national sentiment.
Supporters Praise Swift Action and Campaign Follow-Through
Trump’s base gives him high marks for taking decisive action and honoring campaign promises. Among the key accomplishments highlighted:
- Approval of the Keystone XL pipeline
- Implementation of stricter immigration policies
- Announcements to cut taxes and reduce business regulations
“He’s shaking up Washington, and that’s exactly what he said he would do,” said a Texas voter who rated Trump with an A.
Judicial Appointments Lauded by Conservatives
Supporters also praise the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, viewing it as a major long-term victory that could reshape the federal judiciary for years.
Critics Cite Chaos, Missed Goals, and Leadership Concerns
Critics, on the other hand, assign grades of D or F. Their concerns include:
- A chaotic leadership style
- Frequent policy reversals
- Inability to pass major legislation such as repealing the Affordable Care Act
“It’s been disorganized, reactionary, and borderline dangerous,” said a California voter who gave the president an F.
Media Relations Fuel Polarization
Trump’s combative relationship with the press, especially his use of Twitter and frequent accusations of “fake news,” has further divided public opinion and created tension with mainstream media outlets.
Polls Show Low Approval Ratings
Recent surveys show around 40% approval for Trump’s job performance, with over 50% disapproving—one of the lowest ratings at this stage of a presidency in modern history.
Foreign and Domestic Challenges Continue
Internationally, world leaders are concerned about sudden shifts in U.S. policy, including missile strikes in Syria and rising tension with North Korea. Domestically, protests and legal battles persist over the administration’s travel ban and immigration enforcement.
Trump Remains Defiant
Despite criticism, Trump insists that his administration is performing strongly. “We’ve done more in these first few months than many presidents do in years,” he declared at a recent press conference. He attributes delays and challenges to entrenched political opposition.
A Defining First Chapter
As the 110-day mark passes, Americans seem united only in recognizing that this is no ordinary presidency. Whether seen as a disruptive reformer or destabilizing force, Trump has altered the nation’s political discourse.
With nearly four years remaining in his term, voters across the nation will continue to watch—and grade—his every move.
