ferr...Terrible. Will be paying for this for many years to come. He and his team - all are way out of their league.
mari...He will hurt the working people and has no compassion for those who need support.
dbmj...One doesn't have to be a Psychiatrist to see that Trump is a Narcissistic human being. His idea that imposing tariffs and dismantling nafta is suddenly going to create jobs in the USA is delusional. The years it would take to build modern facilities already in other countries will most likely be so costly, that it's not feasible. The cost of labor would be so expensive that the price of manufacturing in the USA would certainly cause inflation. Although that's already about to happen due to the retaliation from the tariff war he's created. His attempt to obtain Ukraine's precious metals and minerals looked more like blackmail. I can't comprehend his behavior towards Zelensky broadcasted on television across the world. Last time I checked there's 52 cards in a deck, and Europe along with other countries are holding a few cards, too. Trump is isolating the USA from it's allies, neighbors, and virtually everyone in the free world. If unemployment, rising inflation, a declining stock market, and tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans is making America great again? He's doing a great job! The most fascinating thing I noticed about Trump is that so many people actually believe in his radical ideologies. I hope I'm wrong and I wish him the best of luck!
ksci...Trump is the BEST thing that has happened to the USA in DECADES
creo...What the President is doing should have been done years ago and the people who are complaining are the bottom feeders that have been living off the backs of working people for decades!
sydn...The takedown of democracy is Daily
reil...Lies and more lies.
mybe...He’s an evil sellout.
kris...Positive on many agenda items but engaging Putin, a murderer and tyrant is a mistake. Ukraine needs our support and Israel is to blame for the war. Israel has oppressed and abused Palestinians and fosters the hate. Ask why there are only 1% Christians in the holy land. The Jews have made life there unbearable and we give and give to support this oppression. Trump has those issues wrong.
jeff...He is a lier, a con, and a pawn of Putin. I rue the consequences of his actions as supported by spineless republicans.
lpa1...as ususal for the orange jerk in the White House, lies,lies, aand more lies.
jenn...A disgrace to our democracy.
terr...Those who are not supporting President Trump are brain dead. Democrats have brain washed their constituents. Democrats embarrassed themselves las Night. But if these are your numbers then I am trading the wrong material. Good bye
clee...There’s nothing negative about President Trump, he loves America and the American people! God and the American people put him in office. The US isn’t stupid, only the liberals.
tahe...His falsehoods, such as how many 100+ year old dead people being paid social security makes his overall standing look ridiculous!!
nick...He’s eliminating waste and that’s something that’s long overdue.
bruc...Disaster
erwi...What is not transparent is Trump and his cronies have bought a ton of gold and other low-level investments. Everything he is doing right now is to increase his wealth. I even got an investment recommendation specifically explaining why should invest in gold and in Trump's investments. If you think inflation is bad now, wait till the tariffs hit the market. The people who voted for him will not know what hit him.
bfar...For once we have a president who does what he says and I appreciate that he is working hard to get rid of the excessive spending and balance the budget. No other president has done that since Reagan.
stev...Embarrassing. I want intelligent adults to lead our Democracy.
kell...He’s doing a phenomenal job. We must get the debt under control in order for this country to have a future.
mrne...Self serving and thoughtless regarding all those people he put out of work. Has Musk as his fall guy.
bbri...His dismantling of our government and ignoring checks and balances is destabilizing us and making us vulnerable to attack from outside and within. These are dangerous times.
cmar...He’s usurping the role of Congress.
will...He’s done more in his first 30 days than Viden did in 4 years
heat...Im terrified and appalled, was hoping not to witness another "historic event", let alone one everyday.
asto...Do Not always like Trumps style but do belive he is on the right track for the US.
find...I feel very positive about his border policies
tris...A threat to our nation and world peace
gabr...This is a shit show.
barg...Chaotic and Tariffs are very bad thing for US
avaa...He should be locked up and throw away the key. The US is going to be gone if this continues. Listen to PM Truedo plea to the American people. That says it all! It's your own government taking you down and lying to you.
lind...Knew it would be bad, but this is way worse! Elon has to go!
cath...I think he's doing a great job following through on all his promises to control the border, reduce fraud and waste in the federal government, and get rid of "wokeness", amongst many others.
usct...Trump’s actions have made the United States of America stink among our allies and nations of the world. All except Putin’s Russia. His immigration policy, isolation policy, and tariffs are similar to government actions of the 1920’s. That combination led to The Great Depression. Trump’s action toward our first amendment rights must be resisted. We must petition elected leaders.
mcbe...So many lies. It’s a fantasy administration
chri...I am deeply embarrassed and worried about our country
meji...Mr. Trump speaks with a forked tongue!
bhad...it's a disaster! everyone but the uber rich will suffer
kjla...He’s destroying our country
jmla...Trump is the epitome of American racism and savage capitalism. He is a convicted felon who lives a lie with every word that leaves his lips. He has no morals or compassion. His followers are just like him! Pure unadulterated evil!
jane...About time there is action not just talk
abby...Recession coming....prepare your finances!
coll...A Russian asset is our president. A racist psychopath.
jjfl...He’s a disgrace for the country and the world
mbdb...Promises kept.
rmah...None of what is happening represents my values or what I hope my kids to value. He is a global embarrassment and if my kids turn out like him, I failed as a parent. He is the opposite of what the founding fathers wanted and also what's inscribed on the Statue of Liberty.
trav...horrible policies
afen...He is an embarrassment, threat, liar, and greedy man set in enriching himself and his bros over all else. He is a facist.
msmi...Russia has taken over, the checks and balances of our government are gone, Project 2025 is a nightmare coming to life, services we’ve always taken for granted as operating quietly and efficiently in the background (ie National Weather Service, maternal/child health outcome monitoring, farm subsidies/food aid, suicide crisis lines, the IRS, the NIH, etc) have all been handicapped or eliminated, White Supremacy reigns, and it’s basically the end of the world. Countless lives will be lost or ruined in the US and abroad, and economic collapse is around the corner.
ckaw...The administration has been directionally right on most things - the abuse of excess fees at NIH, the overreach of wokeness. While they might be going too far I’d rather they overcorrect than under correct.
iris...Dems refuse to see some of the good things being done. Some are irrelevant, such as the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico, but closing our borders and ending funding to a never ending war are good things.
crag...Embarrassed is a better description
smar...The man is a moron, has been for decades, but hid in NYC/AC where he could fake it. Now, on the largest stage, he thinks a wrecking ball approach is appropriate to fix things while taking ZERO responsibility for anything he has done wrong, even quoting Biden was responsible for the price of Eggs which has skyrocketed since he came in. His fault, no, bird flu, but instead of saying THAT, he blames biden, but then when he is inheriting positive items, he also says it's him. Like he only accepts positive items from previous administrations but deflects the negative. You cannot have it both ways, its either ALL or Nothing. He's a fraud, always has been, always will be.
mane...Worst administration, nightmare everyday.
djhk...In my opinion, the man is insane. He always has been, but he’s terrific as a con artist again always has been.
gabe...Just Chaos no stable or reliable policy. Although DOGE is a necessary to seek out waste and fraud. Too Much bureaucracy.
aver...He's a narcissist and a liar and he's crazy.
pris...He's just awful.
kold...Lying criminal continues.
jjmi...He’s a crooked piece of shit human being!
karl...Making enemies of former allies and full of divisive politics
cdim...The hatchet job firings of federal employees is dangerous! And it is probably not saving any money. A friend of mine works for the FDA. One Saturday night she got an e-mail saying her employment was terminated. A week later she was reinstated. She reviews medical devices. The US taxpayers do not fund her salary. Companies that want their devices approved by the FDA pay the FDA to review the devices. The FDA will pay her for the week she was unemployed. She is getting paid for a week of no work, but extreme anxiety.
jodi...He's a narcissistic and dangerous human. Putting his views ahead of the good for our country.
dean...he is only out for himself and other billionaires. He is simply dumb
cart...He is endangering American citizens with cuts and policies.
geof...Wreckless
rrrc...Trump is destroying American democracy!
rche...All tRUMP can do is LIE.
rcba...Disaster, financial policies are destructive and attacking his own government is terrible.
mich...This has been a period of chaos, corruption and incompetence that we will all suffer from for years to come.
mman...This is a disaster for our country!
mich...It's cowardly in a time like this to claim that your job is to simply report facts. Scrounging for "facts" to report and framing anything that man says as "fact" only legitimizes an illegitimate coup.
vent...Horrifying that a narcissistic autocratic criminal is running this country.
turt...He’s a boastful bully who lies with abandon.
rons...Common sence
tann...Trump is making large "executive" changes but not empowering Congress to do their job. The presidency is not an dictatorship.
cmer...The people that are afraid of being found guilty of stealing government money, pedefilia, and harboring illegal immigrants are the same people in this survey that voted negative. You are and will be exposed. Can't wait until all your names are expised.
hwhi...Globally embarrassing, cronyism, unilaterally benefitting only those at the very top of the economic foodchain, and incredibly misogynistic.
larr...I’m retired and worried!
skip...Terrible terrible terrible!!!!
jgly...Subject: A Call for Integrity and Accountability in Leadership Since the 1960s, corruption has plagued Washington, D.C., and few have had the courage to stand up for the people whom the government is meant to serve. In 2016, a businessman entered the political arena, declaring that he understood the deep-seated corruption within Washington—something he had encountered firsthand throughout his career. Determined to address the waste and misuse of taxpayer dollars, he ran for president to bring about much-needed reform. Critics have questioned his business acumen and motives, but the reality is that his leadership disrupted a system that many benefited from. The strongest opposition often comes from those with the most to lose—politicians who have gained significant wealth despite a modest government salary. It raises an important question: How have so many in public office become millionaires and billionaires while earning $200,000 per year? Today, we are beginning to see what has long been hidden from public view. I remain hopeful for a renewed sense of American pride, strength, and patriotism in the years to come.
ehde...His lack of empathy for people (other than the ultra wealthy) is disgraceful. He is a disgrace to this country with zero class. Other countries are laughing at him and he acts like they respect him. Completely out of touch. His policies have signaled the end for a business that I worked to build from scratch. Going from zero money to having employees and a brand new facility built. All just in time to go out of business. I feel he is using his tariffs to help pay for the billionaires and corporations tax cuts. Not caring that these same tariffs will bankrupt the average American family and destroy our economy as a whole. I was once told when I was a child that one day this country would be taken over by another country without them having to fire a shot. He just may make that possible!
jose...He is a liar. He is a bully, thug, and cheat.
anas...He is not what I look for in a leader
jcpr...It's just been terrible so far. Nothing positive to note.
tomc...At the very least, this is a President thts in charge of the office!
amyf...He is doing what he said he would do. Liberals and the Democrats cannot tolerate him upsetting their status quo.
brut...Prime reason for approval is the dramatic decrease in illegal border crossings and deportation of criminal illegal immigrants. DOGE search for financial waste and fraud deserves high marks as well.
theb...Trump brought in an unelected civilian (Musk) into the White House. He cut FAA staff . Now there are more plane crashes. He cut many much- needed Federal jobs. Against the advice of veteran economists, Trump is putting g tariffs on Canada & China. #47 was rude to Zelensky in their meeting @ the WhiteHouse. It will be a long 4 years.
lewi...Trump is eroding our relationships with our long time allies and developing back door relations with dictators around the world. He is fostering instability at a time when the world needs thoughtful leadership instead of transactional isolationism.
joyd...Sticking with the plan. Closing border, eliminating the waste, balancing the budget America First. Becoming energy independent, securing our constitution. Putting the crooks and holding them accountable pay back what they stole. Immediately stop the polluting and poisoning of our land air and sea. Stop testing and torture on animals
lind...He is systematically destroying our democracy and betraying our allies. I am ashamed to be an American.
mars...I believe of some of the changes but not his egotistical methods. He is not a king and I hope that he is reigned in
sapo...He’s not very intelligent
walk...Wow, 67.3% negative. Those folks situation must be unimaginably different from mine.
1sim...He said he would cut costs at our level. But instead, our costs have sky rocketed with tariffs, lay offs, firing. We have no state or federal parks because they can’t function with a limited staff (I know, I worked for state parks for years!). I know he’s trying to do for us, but it’s bass-akwards! Slow down and think about ramifications! We the people are starting to suffer with EVERYTHING going up. Our electric, water, market, interest rates. We’re going under out here!
vand...He is actually trying to get things done that he promised
arts...Appreciate you saying your job is to present facts - but shouldn’t you also verify the false claims of any politician before simply regurgitating. You are quoting Trump’s lies misinformation and made up stats as if they are true, with no challenge to the context or their veracity
ange...Elon musk needs to be removed. He is weakening US position, Globally. This will have lasting negative impact which will allow our enemies to make strategic moves against the US. The removal of DEI erases what many Americans died and fought for. He is not focusing on making "America Great Again" is is Destrying America for the benefits and a promise he made to Elon Musk for election fraud!
csea...The lies continue and Congressional Republicans are standing silent. The KNOW the truth of these executive orders and aren’t doing their oversight job. It’s disheartening and scary.
jim....Between his monumentally stupid tariffs and slavish groveling to Putin, it's surprising anyone can think fondly of him.
jamf...Thanks for presenting just the facts! Very well done. NPR's coverage is subjective, eg "President Trump boasted..." If only Legacy media would stop painting our President as the enemy, we could come together and prosper! We need to unite and have faith that this administration is for the People! Shameful that the media uses its platform to grow hatred of our government. They are to blame for the divisiveness in this country.
lw63...What did the "Trumpsters" expect?
kshi...Michael Jackson was a better babysitter than Trump is as President.
jllm...Look at your 401, how do you like that?
rhon...While groceries are more expensive, and people are getting fired, he’s still trying to remove support systems for those that need help. Which are soon to be federal and non profit workers.
sbro...Amazing. So much accomplished
jack...The US was on an unsustainable track as far as the economy, trade and defense. There is no alternative to tariffs for example. Why should we support other nations? Mexico and Canada need us much more than we need them. We constitute a large percentage of their GDP. They are a very small part of ours.
tony...He’s by far the best president since Reagan
fran...Trump is making some very positive changes, and he's acting quickly, so our government is working toward a finely oiled machine.
sogf...Trump is re-framing all of the most pressing international and domestic policy issues, while also taking decisive action to shine a light on the costs of these policies to US taxpayers. One may not "like" him, but he is pushing the understanding and realities of the nation-state construct forward.
kksw...Love DOGE and closing USAID. That is wasteful spending for sure. Bring the money back home. Help our own citizens.
rick...Lie after lie
jppa...Worst president in our history Gov by the rich for the rich and wants only a white Christian society
mari...Embarrassing
rwoo...Doing what he promised
bren...How is finding government corruption, government waste, and fake government programs used as cover ups to embezzle, bribe, or manipulate foreign entities such a horrible thing to uncover? This admin is doing exactly what every American should want. Finding out where our tax dollars are being used or even WASTED should have been done long ago. It is baffling that anyone would take issue with this. This administration has done more in 2 months than any previous administration that I can remember. Not to mention potentially bringing an end to TWO WARS. All within 90 days of being in office. How is this viewed as doing a poor job in office?
lind...He puts America first, fixed illegal immigration, eliminated US Aid, eliminated DEI, created DOGE and is not letting America being taken advantage of by foreign countries and I could go on! Best president ever!
pmwr...Horrible bullying foreign policy that is ruining all of our leadership position in the global arena!!! Soooo stupid!!! Why be such an ass!!! Especially to Canada!!! Is that border causing ANY issues?
sean...People need to call him out on being a big government hypocrite who is afraid of dictators
seli...His comments to Zelinski broke my heart . Trump does not represent me !
shoe...Like the cost cutting but want to see more details. Hate tariffs and his actions dealing with the Ukraine. Putin can’t be trusted
osca...Depressing on sa many levels
mhas...I agree with securing the border, reducing government waste, and spending tax dollars wisely.
hele...He is eliminating democracy. Instead of masking Mexico and Canada prevent fentanyl he could do more to prevent the US from using it.
rspr...Taking a hard stance on immigration and shutting down anti-American college campus protests and getting them out of our country is what the Biden administration should have done.
jwsa...total shitshow. completely forgot about improving things for regular people - like the prices of food and rent, and has gone all-in on the broligarchy. Also the irony of disparaging "unelected bureaucrats" while Musk prances with a chainsaw (the most unelected bureaucrat) makes me want to laugh and vomit at the same time
dire...He does what he promised to do!
jeff...thought he would be a populist president, but he is just helping the rich and powerful. Unfortunately, this includes Putin.
libb...His wanton cuts with undeserved job losses, his lies and I find his attempts to control the press reminiscent of Stalin. Top of the list is his disrespect of Zelinsky who is trying to protect Ukrainian people from Purim’s attack. I am fearful of so many Trump believers who won’t stand up to him for fear of having their legs cut off. His way or no way
esig...He is trying to do too much at the same time. He is putting scores of people lives in shambles with the cjob cuts. He is indiscriminately firing people. The Ukrainian situation is an embarrassment.
bval...He needs to be in prison.
mikn...Too erratic policies. DOGE seems to be going after the soft targets like probationary employees instead of focusing improving government services like reducing wait times, cycle times etc. Trump does not see to be in control and can't communicate objectives.
lizm...He is not acting like a US President should. He’s untrustworthy, doesn’t take responsibility and is pushing for a system that reduces accountability for him and his party. I could not be more unhappy about his term and fear it’s only going to get worse.
911v...Common sense. United States of America first. Reduce fraud and government size and waste.
macq...Tanked a healthy economy w unnecessary tariffs driven by ego.
sher...Utter chaos!
jgas...Lies, more lies, lies about lies. All smoke and mirrors. Undisguised white supremacist.
jame...May be doing some good things but doing them in an unorganized way The biggest problem I have with Trump is he is such a liar that I do not know what to believe until he has been fact checked. Makes it hard to evaluate how he is doing also concerned about some of his appointments and the fact that the republicans (and many democrats ) in congress are acting like poorly trained monkeys. Currently congress is a waste of money and its members should be fired
cmes...I see you have a mostly liberal following that's a shame. How's 75% of your readers can support waste fraud and abuse at the federal level is very sad to me. Using the federal government as a slush money pot to fund every liberal social cause in the world when we have so many problems of our own here at home is disturbing I think he's doing great.
miah...Good: Reducing government size and waste, ending two wars, secured the border, bought Panama Canal, protecting women’s sports, promoting merit based achievement. Bad: he’s so annoying.
tom_...A want-to-be dictator who’s incompetent and a criminal rapist.
greg...He is condoning and participating in anti-constitutional actions
lind...He is killing our democracy for an oligarchy. Everything he does only benefits the rich and nothing for our middle class. Plus he is alienating all of our Allies. He is siding with Communism.
mary...Also feeling alarmed, despairing and sick with grief.
mull...Disgusted and embarrassed. I used to proudly sing I’m proud to be an American and the national anthem. They have manipulated what it means to be a “patriot” and every time he talks he turns his back further and further from the true meaning of being American.
wdwi...To many balls in the air with very little thought of how they effect a number of Americans.
jwtu...That was a bitter, dull, dry recounting of an amazing start to his second term. You will loose support of many news subscribers if you can’t report accurately. I enjoy the non political news you report but when I read articles like this I feel like I’m on MSNBC or CNN.
miss...Democrats are so intolerant and vile that they couldn’t even bring themselves to clap for a good thing happening to a child with brain cancer. It is obvious that Trump is trying to turn lead the country to better times and away from the disastrous policies of the Biden administration and democrats in general. Democrats appear to be for waste, mismanagement, incompetence, bureaucracy, lying and general dishonesty. Conversely they appear to be against women, the American worker, independence, free speech, and the country in general. I will never vote for another Democrat no matter who they are running against. No sane person would be against the policies set out by Trump in last night’s address.
mari...He’s doing a great job on all fronts.
tubi...maybe now the DNC will allow their constituents to choose their candidate, rather than choosing for them. elsewise, its a great time for a sensible 3rd party to come forward.
pbpa...Economy - Disaster Foreign relations - Disaster State of Government - Disastwr
avea...We should not abandon Ukraine
khlo...His "tough guy" style is aggravating. Rather than using the power of Republican control of Congress and Senate to make legislative changes, he using theatrics. It very distasteful to the public at large. And I personally believe it makes his Presidency look childish.
pber...Everything the administration is doing will result in an economic depression.
tere...Irreparable damage
cwfo...sick to my stomache
dian...Trump is destroying America’s democracy and alienating our world allies by attacking them with tariffs that will cost Americans millions in inflation (as history shows) and aligning himself (and by extension, America) with Putin and abandoning Ukraine in its war against a violent dictatorship. Does he not remember WW II? Appeasement will only lead to additional bloodshed. Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it.
nrad...He’s a disgrace to our beautiful country.
fjbt...Common sense approach in addressing deficit, economy, border, security, international affairs.
leon...It is about time we have a disruptive president. He is doing what he said he would do and the democrats hate it. The amount of waste and overreach of our federal government is disgusting. He is looking to fix that!
romi...He and his idiot pitbull Vance are grave embarrassments to our country.
edc....The bull in the China Shop
wgho...I think that President Trump is doing harm to the federal government by firing so many people all at once. One doesn't cut off an arm when a band aid will do.
lnap...He is a rude dictator that does not care about anything but lining the pockets of his friends and family. He lies and treats people like objects to be thrown away at his whim.
emme...He is making the US the most hated country in the world. He’s a disgrace to humanity.
chri...While I agree with much of what he says, and most policies, I profoundly disagree about Russia and Ukraine. Putin is a proven liar, aggressor and murderer. How on earth can we align with him? The man openly sends assassins to countries all around the world, let alone in his own country.
