President Trumps polling slump: Letters to the Editor April 29, 2025
It took former President Joe Biden and his administration four years to create the problems we’re facing today (“Trump’s slide down the polls,” April 26).Yet the American people expected President Trump to correct everything on Day 1 or within his first 100 days in office; they can’t be that naive.Robert NegliaThe BronxAfter four dismal years with Joe Biden, we expected a euphoric high with President Trump.But we didn’t get that high; instead, we got a gloomy forecast with no solution in sight.Unfortunately, Trump pretty much flew off the handle, causing chaos mostly through his tariff increases.He had a great opportunity to get us from the doldrums of Biden’s term, but didn’t take it.Ron ZajicekCortlandtThe media is playing up the fact that, in various polls, Trump has the lowest approval rating for his first 100 days of any president in decades.
Some pundits are downright giddy over it.I’m watching this media circus, wondering if these people have ever heard the sports axiom, “It’s not how you start, but how you finish.”Trump has accomplished one of the greatest comebacks in American business and political history.Does anyone really think that dancing on his grave now is going to age well?Eugene DunnMedfordA normal president would not harbor an extreme obsession against ever admitting error.It is and always will be absurd for Trump, on April 2, 2025, to have signed an executive order declaring a national emergency based on his subjective belief that trade practices and our deficits constitute a threat.Jeremy Siegel, professor emeritus of finance at Trump’s alma mater, put it well: This is the “biggest policy mistake in 95 years.”Lou HorwitzSt.
