“Catastrophic” - How a Historian Describes the First Two Months of Trump 2.0

Despite the whirlwind of actions and controversies that have erupted from the White House it has been less than 100 days since Donald Trump became President (again). To help me assess what's at stake with Trump's latest decisions I sat down for an in-depth discussion with everyone's favorite history professor, Heather Cox Richardson.

That awful man has cost this country incalculable loss, monetary, emotionally, spiritually, our reputation and alliances, and he's set us back decades in social progress, police reform, and trying to end the War On Drugs.

Catastrophic. Perfectly said. I would love to see from experts how we overcome this nightmare. What can we do? Is it too late?

[jamesmackinnon]

His unnecessary and inflammatory comments against Canada have caused a horrible regression in the seasonal tourism up there in northern states; Canadian visitors are not coming into Maine or northern Michigan, etc. He has messed things up horribly!

Catastrophic while Americans suffer and the lazy joke rides around in a golf cart.

[captainsaveaho]

Yes, we have been in trouble for a while. Our government has been massively overspending and refuse to stop, so Americans voted for a president who would do something about it.

[MarshaJohnson-jb]

What is being done that is so bad. Go Trump. The Lord put him in the White House. He is undoing all the wrong the past president did.

[violas]

American democracy dismantling is hilariously put.
