Trump's Second Term Nears 100 Days: How Do Americans Comment on His Term?
As US President Donald Trump approaches the 100-day mark of his second term, a joint poll conducted by ABC News, The Washington Post, and Ipsos between April 18–22 reveals his approval rating at 39%—down six points from February and the lowest 100-day rating for any US president in the past 80 years.
At the same time, markets suffer historic declines
From January 20 to April 25, $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ Industrial Average fell 7.76%, $S&P 500(.SPX)$ dropped 7.86%, and $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ plunged 11.45%—one of the weakest starts for any US president this century.
Meanwhile, $USD Index(USDindex.FOREX)$ has dropped nearly 9% over the past 70 trading days, putting it on track for the worst 100-day performance since the Nixon era.
Traditional safe-haven assets like US Treasuries were also sold off, leading to a rare "triple whammy"—simultaneous declines in stocks, bonds, and the dollar.
Americans believe recession is around corner and feels the pain in their life
The poll shows
72% of Americans believe Trump's economic policies are likely to trigger a recession soon.
53% think the economy has worsened since he took office,
and 41% say their personal finances have deteriorated.
Economists warn: tariffs may threaten economy In May; low-income Americans will suffer most
Chief Economist at Apollo Global Management, warned that tariffs could soon leave US store shelves empty, leading to price hikes, reduced work for dockworkers and truckers, and mass layoffs in logistics and retail sectors as early as May.
Gary Cohn, former Director of the National Economic Council under Trump, forecasts that the full effects of the tariffs will hit nationwide by the end of next month.
He emphasized that low-income Americans would suffer most, spending nearly all their income on goods, while the wealthy would remain less affected.
With his record-low approval rating, will Trump introduce policies that benefit the stock market?

回顾这100天，最大的感受是「内外交困」。国内面临民意下滑、国际上又频频制造摩擦，导致美元、股市连番下跌。政策推进节奏混乱，缺乏连贯性，让投资者普遍缺乏信心。总体来看，特朗普第二任期的开局远比第一任期更艰难，后续如果不能迅速调整方向，经济下行压力只会进一步加大。

同時，$美元指數(USDindex.FOREX)$過去70個交易日下跌近9%，有望上漲他是尼克松時代以來最差的100天表現。
美國國債等傳統避險資產也遭到拋售，導致罕見的“三重打擊”——股票、債券和美元同時下跌。
Personally, I believe recession fears are real. With 72% expecting a downturn and 53% feeling the economy has worsened, the data reflects what many are experiencing day-to-day. Tariffs are making things worse, leading to higher prices and job losses in key sectors. Unfortunately, it’s the lower-income groups that will bear the brunt, while the wealthy stay largely insulated.
Unless Trump introduces real pro-growth policies soon, I worry that the markets will stay unstable in Q2. Confidence needs to be restored quickly, or we could see even steeper declines. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG
