Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.

Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.

But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.

Risking America's reputation? Maybe we're slightly beyond that point.

Here in Denmark - one of the US's closest allies for decades with a generally positive public opinion - America's reputation has absolutely tanked. Being at all supportive of USA basically reveals you as a stupid far-right nut. We just need our politicians to see this as well because the US reputation is fully dead here.

It’s bad now? You have no idea! All import stopped and or halted when your orange diaper introduced tariffs on everything. Meaning you’re just seeing the start of it.

Tariffs are still unclear because he’s changing them every damn second. Meaning companies are still hesitant about shipping goods because of the uncertainty regarding tariffs.

Bankrupted a casino after his better half left. His ex wife. Consider it like his last admin. He had smart people corralling him. Now he just has yes men.

The brink? We're already there, but the supply chain takes a few weeks to catch up. We are just now getting empty ports just like during covid. Empty ports now means empty shelves in a couple weeks. Empty shelves means prices skyrocket again. And layoffs start en mass when companies can't get supplies that need workers to work on.

Give the Orange Asswipe a break, the idiot is following his orders from the Kremlin and he is doing a fan-fucking-tastic job of destroying the US economy and foreign relations.

Wow 🍿I do feel for everyone who didn’t vote for this turd. As I am not aware much about what is happening in your country in detail (though some us citizens sometimes think this way) can anyone give any insight on how this is perceived by turd voters? Like are there any interesting interviews insight or articles ? Would love to know their view as this unfolds. Thanks for any insight 🙏

Biden kinda restored USA's image pretty fast in the world stage, and then made it quite a lot better by standing firmly with Ukraine. After Trump's second term... it wouldn't be enough. Because now we know it wasn't just a one-off mistake or a fluke. 30-50% of americans actually think like that.

Looking wistfully behind me at the "brink" of crisis
