Trump Celebrates 100 Days, Economic Uncertainty Looms

President Donald Trump marked his first 100 days back in office with a rally in Michigan, touting job creation pledges and lauding his administration’s swift executive orders. Detractors highlight stalled consumer confidence and ongoing tariff battles that have weighed on household finances. Despite the fanfare, polling indicates Trump’s approval ratings remain shaky, reflecting public jitters over rising prices and potential slowdowns. At the rally, Trump pledged more “disruptive” reforms, affirming his vision of a powerful executive branch. Meanwhile, critics worry that minimal legislative collaboration could lead to policy whiplash and deeper economic unease.

What this means for you:
If you’re watching the economy, keep track of new executive orders—these can quickly alter trade, jobs, or spending.
Stay connected with your local representatives—federal changes may require local adaptation, whether it’s infrastructure or social services.
In the meantime, voice any concerns directly—public sentiment can shape political priorities.
