Donald Trump's second term has been highly divisive, as reflected in his approval rating plummeting to around 40%. Many Americans express apprehension regarding a looming recession and the impact of his trade policies. The Guardian engaged readers to share their reactions to his first 100 days, revealing a sense of fear for the future and concern over democratic erosion. Comments reflect strong sentiments about the perceived destructive nature of his governance, with some expressing regret over decisions made in the past, highlighting a distinct national polarization.
This was the plan and now it's in action. People who were shocked weren't listening, and the people who knew were mocked and called crazy.
I'm fearful of the future. And I'm sad to see what's happening to our democracy and the erosion of our freedoms.
The pace and breadth of his destruction of the constitution and federal government makes me ill. I've never felt so afraid and powerless.
He has succeeded in extraordinary destruction. He has warmongered, gutted time-honoured institutions and endangered everything Americans hold dear.
