Analyzing President Trump’s 1st 100 Days of his 2nd term
The first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term moved at a dizzying pace.
He enacted Executive Orders and policies with a fury. Intent on remaking the Executive Branch, he empowered Elon Musk to push aside civil servants and strike fear in the federal workforce.
He also launched the largest deportation program in U.S. history.
News4JAX political analyst Rick Mullaney, who is head of the Jacksonville University Public Policy Institute, joined us on The Morning Show to look at promises made, promises kept and promises that remain unfulfilled.
He also discussed Americans’ perceptions of the president’s performance. Several polls show significant warning signs on signature issues like the economy and cutting the size of government.
Politics & Power News4JAX Morning Show anchor Bruce Hamilton and his “Politics & Power” guests give you context and perspective on some of the most talked about stories that govern our world.
