Summary

We made it, ya’ll. One hundred days of President Donald Trump’s second term down. Only 1,362 to go…. not that we’re counting (we're definitely counting). While the White House is pushing the narrative that Trump’s early days have been an unmitigated success, the American public clearly feels otherwise. A bunch of new polls show the president's approval rating hovering around 40 percent. He's also underwater on every issue respondents were asked about, from the economy to immigration. Jon Favreau, co-host of Pod Save America and founder of Crooked Media, stops by to help make sense of the 100-day wreckage and where we go from here. And in headlines: Spain and Portugal entered a second Dark Age amid a massive power outage, Virginia Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly announced his retirement, and Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a unilateral temporary ceasefire in May in honor of the Russian holiday Victory Day.

0:00.0	It's Tuesday, April 29th. I'm Erin Ryan in for Jane Koston, and this is What a Day, the show that will send a photo of Philadelphia decades, and the surprise retirement announcement of another longtime Democratic
0:38.2	lawmaker.
0:39.3	But first, we made it.
0:40.9	100 days of President Donald Trump's second term down, only 1,362 to go.
0:48.4	Not that I'm counting.
0:49.5	Trump 2.0 is a bit different than Trump 1.0.
0:52.6	Trump hasn't gotten any better at governing, but this time
0:55.6	he's surrounded himself with people who won't try to stop him, but also cannot govern, so they can't
1:01.5	really help him either. But what they can do is blow smoke up his ass all day, every day.
1:06.8	Of all the leaders in the world today, no leader is working harder to prevent wars or end them than President Trump is right now.
1:12.7	President Trump has proven. No one does it better than President Trump. There is no equal, it's not even close.
1:18.9	You know, you are overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority.
1:23.7	He is the greatest negotiator and the greatest person who understands. These are his goals and
1:29.2	his objectives, and he is executing them. That was a nightmare mashup of Dyson levels of sucking
1:35.5	up from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Borders Tsar Tom Homan, Attorney General Pam Bondi,
1:40.9	and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik, i.e., people with a lot of power and no shame.
1:46.0	The joke during President Trump's first term was that every week resembled a new verse of
1:51.2	Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire. His leadership this term has been so chaotic that I'm not
1:56.2	sure it could even be arranged into a song that makes sense. What even rhymes with adult tech billionaire
2:01.8	accidentally cancels Ebola research or puppy murking cabinet secretary travels to El Salvador for
2:07.9	xenophobic photo op and poses pointing a machine gun at a law enforcement official's head. Too many
