As President Donald Trump marks his 100th day in office since his remarkable return to power, he has provided a combative and unapologetic defense of his administration’s policies in a wide-ranging interview. Trump’s approval ratings have remained low amid rising concerns over his economic decisions, particularly his aggressive trade policies. However, the president stood firm in his response to critics, including voters who expressed regret about their support, saying, “They did sign up for it, actually.”
The blunt exchange with ABC News veteran correspondent Terry Moran came as Trump faced scrutiny over the long-term effects of his policies. Despite his historically low approval ratings, Trump used the milestone interview to outline the direction of his second term and reaffirm his commitment to economic nationalism. The interview highlighted key areas of focus in his administration, including immigration, economic policy, and his foreign relations strategy.
