President Donald Trump will reach the 100th day of his second presidential term on April 30, and it's evident that he has not delivered on many of his campaign promises. From economic claims to foreign policy, Trump's actions have fallen short of his grandiose pledges.
Throughout his term, Trump has made bold but inaccurate statements about various issues, including the cost of groceries and fuel prices. Despite his claims of success, data shows a different reality at the grocery store and gas pump.
Trump's tariffs and economic policies have not had the intended positive impact, leading to concerns about inflation and trade wars. His approach has been met with disapproval from a majority of Americans, as reflected in recent polls.
On the immigration front, Trump's promise of record deportations has not materialized, and his efforts to end birthright citizenship have faced legal challenges. His foreign policy, particularly regarding Russia and Ukraine, has been marked by inconsistencies and unfulfilled promises.
As Trump approaches the end of his 100 days, it's clear that his presidency has been characterized by unmet promises and misleading statements. The American public has taken notice and expressed their concerns through various surveys and polls.
