Doug Sosnik, a senior adviser to former President Bill Clinton, explained how the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s second term became “the prelude to an unpopular presidency in history.”
“Trump has fallen into a trap – a common trap for newly elected presidents – without understanding the difference between campaigning and the work of successful directors,” Sosnick wrote in an op-ed. Released in the New York Times on Monday.
Sosnik described Trump’s second round (end next week) in the first 100 days as “most important” for all presidents in modern history after the demolition of the federal government, the removal of the post-World War II coalition and his approach to trade.
“But the corresponding start does not equal long-term success,” Sosnick wrote.
“Mr. Trump’s approval rating has dropped and if past presidents were any guidance, the worst hasn’t come yet.”
Trump, like his first mission, is the only one in modern history Net negative approval rating Sosnick pointed out that at this point in his presidency. He added that the number will only worsen when Americans “start to feel the pain of policy.”
Sosnik said Trump’s post-celebration approval rate would be his welcome “more accurate picture” by early September.
He argued that the president was “mandate” from his constituents in November, which made him “more politically vulnerable” considering the Republican-led Congress, allowing him to move forward extreme Dating and Policy introduction.
“The failure to properly plan and implement policies defines his second term, which shows a microcosm of his immigration and tariff plans and the so-called government efficiency sector,” Sosnik stressed.
“The uncertainty created by Trump’s chaotic management style also prevents companies from making investment decisions.”
He continued: “Given his low approval rating and the size and strength of the opposition, these factors could have a serious impact on Mr. Trump in the coming months.”
