Marking his 100th day in office on April 29, President Donald Trump defended his record in an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran, pushing back against critics and concerns about his leadership.

Trump brushed off criticism of his economic policies, especially tariffs, which analysts warn could burden American families financially. “Well, they did sign up for it, actually,” he said, insisting that economic reform was a core promise of his campaign. He pointed to lower gas and egg prices as signs that his strategy is working.

Still, public opinion paints a different picture. According to ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos, Trump holds the lowest 100-day approval rating of any president in 80 years, with 55% disapproval. A New York Times poll found 66% of Americans describe his term so far as “chaotic.”The president also responded to criticism from former supporters, maintaining that his administration is on the right path. “The country is doing really well,” he claimed, downplaying poll numbers.Despite his confident tone, the widespread public unease reflects a nation still deeply divided over his leadership and direction.
