The First Hundred Days of Donald Trump, Second Term, is coming up on Wednesday, April 30.
The nation and the world have seen the most revolutionary, radical set of actions and statements by Donald Trump that the nation has ever witnessed.
One would have thought that Franklin D. Roosevelt’s First Hundred Days of the “New Deal” from March 4, 1933 to mid June 1933 would be a marker that would never be matched.
But Donald Trump has far surpassed the impact of FDR, and in many ways, trying to wipe out most of the last century and more of the federal regulatory state and the leadership of the democratic world in international relations.
Trump has demonstrated that Presidential power is way out of line, a growing problem since FDR onward, but with most occupants of the White House having good intentions in their assertion of power, unlike Trump.
The massive use of executive orders, 137 so far, an all time record for such a short time as President;
the threats and actions against universities, law firms, cultural institutions, corporations, state governments;
the bypassing of judicial interventions;
the Republican party in Congress refusing to assert their authority;
the growing dictatorial attitude of Trump appointees inside and outside the Cabinet;
the repudiation of our traditional alliances in world affairs;
the dangerous flirtation with protective tariffs that undermines the American economy;
the clearcut corruption and grift being conducted in clear vision;
and so much more not listed here,
all have created a whirlwind of chaos and anarchy that affects all Americans in deleterious ways!
