On his first day back in power, President Donald Trump promised Americans that he’d soon deliver on their central demand: Lower prices and greater economic stability.

Ninety-nine days later, the voters are still waiting — and starting to flash their anger.

Trump’s chaotic first months have tipped the U.S. into turmoil, shaking the foundations of its financial system and feeding fears that the man who pledged to pilot the nation into a prosperous “golden age” is instead driving it toward an economic ditch.

Americans’ faith in Trump’s stewardship of the economy is faltering, with most now saying his changes to the country’s political and economic systems have gone “too far.” The president’s trade war is testing the resilience of global markets and businesses. And among his allies, there is growing concern that Trump is squandering his political mandate by pursuing policies almost certain to push prices even higher.
