How Trump has tried to remake America in his first 100 days

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : Trump won it in each of his three elections.
66% : " Macomb County, a cluster of Detroit suburbs where Trump will tout the actions of his first 100 days Tuesday, was the heart of the white, working-class "Reagan Democrat" contingent in 1980 and 1984.
64% : White House officials say Trump has delivered on two signature campaign promises: securing the southern border and curbing inflation.
50% : The Pew Research Center, which has long tracked presidential survey numbers, found that approval for Trump stands at 40%, down from 47% two months ago.
48% : One of the chief advocates for Trump's seeking a third term, "War Room" podcaster and former White House official Steve Bannon, said the opening of Trump's second term has redirected the country in a good way.
47% : When Trump travels to politically legendary Macomb County, Michigan, on Tuesday to mark the milestone, he will be able to point to his novel interpretations of the powers of the presidency to slash the federal workforce, withhold funds for foreign and domestic aid, stem the flow of illegal immigration through the U.S. border with Mexico, boost cryptocurrency and strangle trade, punish independent institutions -- universities, law firms and media outlets among them -- for failing to support his views and effectively outlaw diversity initiatives within the federal government and entities it supports.
41% : None have tried to exercise so much power, across such a broad range of issues and with such disregard for Congress and the courts, as Trump has in a time of relative peace and economic stability in the United States.
35% : Julian Zelizer, a presidential historian at Princeton University, said Trump has separated himself from predecessors by ignoring Congress and with his zeal for tearing down institutions, inside and outside the government, rather than building them up.
35% : But while there is little question that Trump stormed back into Washington proclaiming his election as a mandate to expand presidential authorities over nearly every aspect of American life, his failure so far to address the most pressing issue of last fall's campaign -- the economic crunch felt by hundreds of millions of people -- is dragging down public approval of his presidency.
32% : So, even as inflation has slowed -- Trump promised to end it on "day one" of his term -- he has stoked, rather than stemmed, fears of investors and consumers.
27% : Forty-nine percent of Americans say Trump has made the American economy weaker, compared with former President Joe Biden, while only 37% say he has bolstered the economy, according to Pew.
23% : Trump and his allies have relentlessly attacked federal judges who have rendered decisions slowing or stopping some of those policies -- and, in one high-profile immigration case, did not comply with a district court judge's order to halt deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.
22% : Trump has pushed the boundaries of the presidency to slash the federal workforce, withhold aid funds, curb illegal immigration and punish independent institutions.
