Trump faces historic low support, issues record executive orders
Donald Trump has received the lowest public support after 100 days in office among all U.S. presidents since World War II. The "Washington Post" highlights that Trump has issued the most executive orders in 80 years.
- According to a survey conducted by Ipsos for The Washington Post and ABC News, Donald Trump has the support of only 39 percent of respondents.
- These results reflect his standing after 100 days in office.
- Trump has received the lowest rating among U.S. presidents since World War II.
The survey results indicate that Trump's support is significantly lower than that of his predecessors. For comparison, George W. Bush had 47 percent support after 100 days in office in 2009, while Barack Obama enjoyed 50 percent support after 100 days of his second term. It's noteworthy that Trump has issued 142 executive orders, making him one of the leaders in this category.
What are the effects of Trump's actions on the economy?
The "Washington Post" notes that major U.S. stock indexes, such as the S&P 500, recorded declines after the first 100 days of the new presidential term. The S&P 500 dropped by 8.6 percent from January 20, marking the worst result since January 2009, when the index fell by 6.9 percent.
Journalists also emphasize that Trump has spent almost every weekend on the golf course, which echoes his previous criticisms of Obama.
Trump is accused of spending too much time playing golf instead of focusing on governing the country. In 2011, he had criticized Obama for similar behavior himself. Trump's current actions are assessed based on the president's schedule and media reports.
