Donald Trump's initial 100 days in the White House have highlighted his assertive but ultimately ineffective use of executive power, leading to a significant decline in America's global influence. His attempts to reshape federal bureaucracy and assert dominance on the world stage have been met with increasing resistance, both domestically and internationally. As countries witness his failures and inability to fulfill promises, such as ending conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas war, it emboldens adversaries and undermines his perceived power, echoing the sociological definition by Max Weber.
The more that people see this powerlessness (Trump's inability to carry out his will), the more they will challenge, resist, and ultimately ignore him.
Internationally, other countries see Trump failing to get his way, which emboldens his opponents at home and around the world.
