Happy Monday and happy day, first hundred days week. This week, President Trump is going to pass the first hundred days. You are lucky enough, Toddcast listeners, we're lucky enough to get essentially, because the Pew poll preview that I gave you a couple of episodes ago, essentially was repeated by everybody else's poll in New York Times,

0:22.9

Washington Post, CNN. Everybody has essentially found the same thing. This first hundred days for

0:28.5

President Trump has not gone well at all. We can do the quick top lines. But look, the economy,

0:36.6

if you think about it, in the first hundred

0:38.9

days from when he started on day one, what's gone better from him? Only one thing has gone

0:44.1

better. And that's the border. The economy is worse. The world is more unstable. Government trust

0:50.3

is worse. When you think about the things ultimately that he was elected to do, restore some trust and integrity in government, that hasn't happened. Things are worse. Make the economy better and bring down prices. That hasn't happened. If anything, prices are going to be going up. This economy is more unstable. We just had the worst March housing report in basically since the pandemic.

So when you look at those all of the actual metrics, forget before you get to polling, like where the actual economy is, where the actual

It's, you know, the public's being rather logical about this.

1:34.4

They're not happy.

1:35.5

They don't like what he's doing.

1:37.7

The biggest thing is I think the Pew poll did better, frankly, than anybody else.

1:42.2

And that was the reason I spent so much time in that Pew poll with you is that I think they did the best job of helping to explain while the public

1:50.9

still shares his goals and would like to see him succeed on the promises he's made. There is

1:58.1

just widespread belief. This has just been a poorly executed. An administration,

2:03.5

really, it's more about incompetency than anything else. This is the gang really that can't shoot

2:10.6

straight in here. And so this is not good at all. So the first hundred days have been a failure.

2:16.1

The question is going to be, what are the next hundred days? They need to get some trade deals. They need to get some points on the

2:22.0

board right now. They claim all these people are knocking on their door, making calls so far. No

2:27.2

deals have happened. Not one. I think at one point, one of the one of the spokespeople for

the administration said 90 deals in
