Today marks the one hundredth day of President Trump’s second term. While the numbers vary depending on the poll, the consensus seems to be that roughly 40 percent of Americans approve of how Trump’s term has gone so far, but even his approval ratings among Republicans have started to fall in recent weeks. This shift is largely due to the belief that he has become overly reliant on executive orders and the fear that his approach will eventually lead him into a confrontation with the judiciary. Few stories have epitomized the nature of Trump’s perceived battle with the courts better than the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan last week.

| 0:00.0 | Greetings. It's Tuesday, April 29th, 2025. Welcome to Denison Forum's Daily Article Podcast. I'm Chris Elkins, |
| 0:11.4 | narrating today's daily article written by our senior editor for Theology, Dr. Ryan Denison. |
| 0:18.3 | Today marks the 100th day of President Trump's second term, and he plans to celebrate it |
| 0:24.6 | by sitting down with ABC News tonight for his first broadcast interview since taking office in January. |
| 0:30.6 | But while the interview with ABC will be significant, it's hardly the only opportunity he's taking to try and frame the start of his |
| 0:38.6 | second term in a more favorable light. Trump is scheduled to take part in a two-hour town hall |
| 0:44.6 | with News Nation on Wednesday before delivering the commencement address at the University of |
| 0:49.6 | Alabama on Thursday. And all of this, after having spent much of the last week sitting down for interviews |
| 0:56.3 | with Time Magazine and The Atlantic. In his interview with time, he stated, I feel that we've had a |
| 1:02.7 | very successful presidency in 100 days, though he cautioned that it might take a little more time |
| 1:08.5 | in transition. You know, we're resetting a table, end quote. |
| 1:12.8 | The notion that it's too early to judge Trump's presidency has some merit, considering there are still |
| 1:18.3 | 1,361 more days before someone else steps into the position. However, that hasn't stopped many |
| 1:25.3 | from trying, and the latest results indicate that the public's |
| 1:28.6 | patients may be starting to wear thin. |
| 1:31.2 | While the numbers vary, depending on the poll, the general consensus seems to be that roughly |
| 1:36.3 | 40% of Americans approve of how Trump's term has gone so far. |
| 1:40.3 | And while he still enjoys a 75% approval rating among Republicans, even that number has started to fall in recent weeks. |
| 1:49.2 | The biggest reason for his declining popularity is economic. |
| 1:53.1 | Less than 40% of Americans agree with his stance on tariffs, while the state of inflation was seen in a similarly dismal light. |
| 2:01.8 | A majority still approve of his approach to border security, the only issue where he |
