“Trump Hits 100 Days with Biden Blame Blitz as Economy Stumbles”

 

President Donald J. Trump marked his first 100 days back in the White House with a familiar tone blame, bravado, and bold claims this time aimed squarely at his predecessor, Joe Biden. As economic worries mount and market volatility rattles investors, Trump is doubling down on his narrative that the Biden administration left behind a “broken” America.

Speaking at a rally in Michigan on Friday, Trump lashed out at Biden, accusing him of wrecking the U.S. economy and weakening the nation’s global standing. “What we inherited was a disaster,” Trump declared to a cheering crowd. “Crooked Joe left the shelves empty, the borders open, and the economy in ruins.”

However, critics argue that Trump’s policies during these first 100 days are already making a visible dent in the economy. His sweeping tariffs including a blanket 10% import tax and a 145% tariff on Chinese goods have disrupted supply chains and triggered uncertainty in global markets.

The U.S. economy shrank by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025 the first contraction in three years. Wall Street hasn’t been spared either. The S&P 500 dropped 7% in just two weeks, and consumer confidence has dipped to its lowest point since 1990.

Despite these troubling signs, Trump insisted during the rally that America is “doing better than ever.” He pointed to declining egg prices and strong tech earnings as proof of economic strength, but economists caution that short-term data can be misleading.

“Tariffs may be popular politically, but they come at a real cost to consumers and businesses,” said economist Linda Brookes. “It’s hard to grow an economy when prices rise and exports fall.”

Trump’s combative style and economic turbulence appear to be eroding his popularity. A recent national poll shows his approval rating at just 39%, the lowest for any U.S. president at the 100-day mark in over four decades.

Still, Trump remains defiant. “We’ve done more in 100 days than Biden did in four years,” he said. “We’re bringing America back, whether the fake news likes it or not.”

What’s Next for the Trump Administration?

As the administration moves forward, it faces major challenges: stabilizing the markets, calming global trade tensions, and addressing growing domestic unrest over inflation and economic uncertainty.

Whether Trump can deliver results or continues his campaign of blame remains to be seen. But one thing is certain his second term has started with fireworks.
