Donald Trump has called for investigations into several major news organizations after fresh polls revealed troubling approval ratings as he nears his 100th day back in the White House. After securing victory in the 2024 election, Trump is set to mark this milestone on April 29, but polls conducted by ABC News, The Washington Post, and The New York Times show public dissatisfaction with his performance. Despite taking sweeping actions targeting sports, history, education, and foreign trade, many Americans appear unconvinced.

According to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll, Trump has earned the lowest 100-day approval rating in the past 80 years, with 55% disapproving of his leadership. Meanwhile, a New York Times/Siena College poll shows only a 42% approval rating, with 66% calling his second term ‘chaotic’. Reacting to the polls, Trump took to Truth Social, fiercely denying the results and suggesting something much deeper—and much darker—might be at play.
