1. Executive Branch Actions

1.1 Presidential Executive Orders & Directives

President Trump has issued several significant executive orders, including terminating federal funding for NPR and PBS, entities he accused of spreading “radical, woke propaganda disguised as news” [1] [2]. PBS and NPR leadership have characterized this order as “unlawful,” asserting the president lacks authority to defund these organizations [3]. Trump has also stated he will revoke Harvard University’s tax-exempt status [4] and has proposed renaming Veterans Day to “Victory Day for World War I” [5]. The administration is implementing changes through the energy department to expand drilling in the Gulf of Mexico [6]. Resistance to these orders has emerged, as evidenced by leaked audio from an Illinois medical school administrator outlining plans to defy Trump’s executive orders, characterizing them as an “attack on women” and “attack on human rights” [7].

Multiple polls show Trump with the “worst 100-day polling ever” [5] and indicate voters are “souring” on his performance, particularly in Georgia where economic fears are rising [2].

1. Trump Administration and Governance

1.1 First 100 Days Assessment

President Trump marked his first 100 days with a Michigan rally where he defended tariff policies and Musk-led government reorganization [1], claiming his administration achieved the “most successful” first 100 days in presidential history [2]. Public opinion appears mixed, with some Americans rating this period “excellent” while others believe changes are happening “too fast” [3]. The White House released a document listing “dozens of hoaxes” pushed by media during this period [4]. Media interactions have been contentious, with Trump bluntly telling ABC reporter Terry Moran “I don’t trust you” during a “fiery” interview [5]. Vice President Vance described Trump’s leadership as “empowering” and fostering “trust” while reducing internal “turf battles” [6].
