A wealthy businessman from New York, Trump assumed public office for the first time when he entered the White House on January 20 after he defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an upset. It has been a milestone for every president since.
Nearly 100 days into Trump’s presidency, serious questions about the election remain without official resolve and are merely serving as justification for suspicion and separation between America’s conservatives and liberals.
Many millennials disapprove of President Donald Trump’s performance, according to a Tuesday poll from Harvard, but they like many of his policies.
Mr Trump claimed to have signed more executive orders than renowned 32nd president Franklin D Roosevelt.
Republican Senator Dan Sullivan said that while he supports Trump’s efforts to secure the border, he would rather see a short-term CR passed than endure a shutdown showdown.
“I think the 100 days is, you know, it’s an artificial barrier”, Trump was quoted as saying. With Trump’s national approval rating already lower than any modern president, the poll reveals another layer of dissatisfaction with the new administration. His final cabinet member, Alexander Acosta, is expected to be confirmed Friday to serve as labor secretary. But he can also point to other accomplishments, such as signing into law an economic stimulus in the form of 13 resolutions of disapproval revoking regulations imposed by the Obama administration.
The fact Trump would make promises like that also suggests he doesn’t have a lot of people around him who understand Congress. It must in be in place before Saturday or government funds will halt and some federal employees could be temporarily laid off.
Lawmakers have warned that a stopgap measure, known as a continuing resolution, might be needed to give Congress breathing room to finalize the spending details. But it came only after a major change to Senate rules.
“A$3 nd we’re going to get it to zero and keep it there, and we’ll be proud of the new system that we have”, Sessions told Fox News, according to Lifezette. Large majorities disapprove of the entry ban on visitors from six Muslim states that is now stalled in the courts, building the wall against Mexico and refusing Syrian refugees entry into the U.S. However, his approval rating varies drastically by party: NBC reports that 82 percent of Republicans approve of Trump so far, compared with 7 percent of Democrats and 30 percent of independents.
Real Clear Politics, which tracks national polls from media outlets, universities and national polling firms, says Trump’s disapproval rating on average is almost 11 points higher than his approval rating.
More than five months after his victory and two days shy of the 100-day mark of his presidency, the election is still on Trump’s mind.
