When Franklin D. Roosevelt swept into office during the Great Depression, his first 100 days set the stage for historic reforms like the New Deal. Fast forward nearly a century, and the marker for presidential legacies remains the same—but the outcomes couldn’t be more different. Let’s unpack the chaos chronicles of a modern White House versus the ‘golden era’ of FDR. 🔍
Then vs. Now: Economic Visions
Roosevelt rallied Congress to pass landmark legislation, creating jobs and stabilizing banks. Today, Trump’s early days leaned on executive orders—some facing legal challenges—and fiery rhetoric over trade wars, all while U.S. global economic dominance continues to shrink. 📉💼
Global Stage: Engagement vs. Estrangement
FDR opened trade deals and built alliances; Trump doubled down on tariffs, strained international relationships, and pulled the U.S. back from multinational agreements. Think less “Reciprocal Trade” and more “Twitter battles.” 🌐🤯
Popularity Contest: Legacy in Polls
Approval ratings tell the tale: FDR remains a top-ranked president, while Trump hit a record low of 39% post-100 days. Is this a failure of policy—or a sign of our polarized times? 🤔📊
Whether you’re a policy wonk or just scrolling for drama, one thing’s clear: Leadership in the digital age is rewriting the rules. Stay tuned. 📲✨
