I think that this country will continue to struggle with its own problems because people refuse to do anything about them and pay no mind. In Flint, Michigan, the contaminated water problem in my opinion can be quickly solved but know one wants to step up and fix it. With this problem in mind, I think that this country will continue to break down with new problems as everyone else is shifting their attention away from things that are hurting their own country.

Based on Trump's first 100 days, I believe that the direction of this country would be going down. Not only has he "banned" certain people from certain places to get into this country but he's tried take a way the Obama care that helps everyone. Now he is trying to take money away from enviromental projects and give that money to the military. He alos wants businesses to be allowed to drill into federal land for natural resources. This can affect this country and the word negatively.

In my opinion I feel as though, the country will have a down fall because of him. He is running the country as if it was a business and not a country in itself with millions of people, that a socially, politically, and economically different from one another. Take his budget cuts as example, cutting PBS, Meals on wheels and environment issues and using that money for the military which is already funded more than other countries combined. I have no idea what is coming up next because he is unpredictable, keeping everyone on their toes.

I rate the direction of the country going up, but not everyone is going to like what president trump is doing. People will only care about money and lose sight of what is happening around them.

Using Trump's first 100 days as context to rate the direction of thus country so far, i wouldn't rate it high. He is cutting budgets and laws, he sees as useless, that will help business grow for business companies. His cutting in funds and laws is affecting our economy and will soon affect our health. He is soon going to start using the funds he is cutting and apply them to military use, since he wants to expand the military and help it grow bigger and better.

well from seeing over the past 100 days of donald trumps presidency i can infer that the country is changing in multiple ways that no other former presidents have done . one historical event that has happened was when ronald regan started to create a ban for drug usage , it was for a good cause but still multiple people didnt like that new policy . Just as it is for Trump , Trump is going to increase the global warming in this country/world .

Trump's first couple of days was really rough then it started to get even more and more depressing when he put that ban on all refugees from coming to america. I wold rate him a complete zero for the simple fact that he is removing all protection with the climate change. I actually think he needs to be impeached as soon as possible. He is not even fit to run a country as a whole. He is so worried about the military fighting in some other country but what about the one he is president over!! So my final rating for him is a absolute zero. He is sooo bad at being a president that he "exposes all of americas problems with a black light",claims Trevor Noah.

The direction of the country thus far isn't going so well in the first 100 days of Trump's Presidency. Every move has been rash, ineffective and problematic. The independent studies on the 'repeal and replace' options show it to be worse for the American people. The focus on fulfilling campaign promises leaves out critical thinking as were those promises sensible to begin with. He wants to cause financial burden to the poor and sick, while giving more money to the rich and corporations. Hearing about civilian deaths in Iraq and wanting to repeal ACA instead of trying to fix it are both terrible decisions. Trump being under investigation is a disgrace. Trump not releasing his taxes is a terrible figure. Trump being our president is the most embarrassment this country could have. Since the beginning, with his slogan for example, "Make America Great Again." He doesn't want to Make America Great Again, he wants America to think HE'S great. And doesn't care if the infrastructure and integrity of our society crumbles on the way. Shameful.

I believe that this country will be more in debt and have many economical problems.Thanks to Trump wasting and increasing the military size he is cutting a lot of funds.Our education system will be destroyed and well our economy will go down because of all the deportation and although trump says he will provide more jobs he is actually reducing the job opportunities.These problems will ruin not only the country but our community.

I'd rate the country as doing everything one could do to protect itself from Trump's insane ideas and remain a democracy. Based off the 100 days; many of Trump's executive orders have been reversed. Most importantly his effort in trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act was put to a stop. For the same reason it wouldn't work and was too similar to the ACA. In the long run, I see us having an impeachment for our president. It's just only a matter of time his crazy ideas go against something one isnt supposed to do.

I believe the direction in which this country in headed towards is one of facism. Trump has already shown signs of facist beliefs and with the way he's handing things and the type laws he trying to pass through is very similar to facism he's just not being so big and bold yet. It's very similar to how Mussolini came into power during the 1920s. Mussolini had promised the people of Italy that he would bring the great mighty Roman empire back again and just like that, Trump also has promised Americans to have America first and the type of policies he wants to do or improve on benefit more him than the actual people of America.

The direction of this go more gilded age like because Donald trump is allowing in a sense for more less restrictions against certain company's such as google Facebook industrial company's. Just like in the gilded age era when many presidents allowed for company's to essentially run the country in sense and didnt have many restrictions

Using president Trump's first 100 days as a context I'd rate the direction of the country a 7. Trump said he would create more jobs and that he he is doing. By replacing the previous executive orders put into place by Obama. Some of these will benefit the country economically but it will destroy it in the long run. Companies are now allowed to dump their waste into water streams which will save them lots of money. Someone of these water streams are the main source of water to cities and the water will make the citizens sick. Therefor, the economy grows but the environment dies.

Based on the 100 days of Trump being president i would rate it in the middle. Due to him wanting to cut funds from things that help to give it to the military. He is making it seem like if the U.S. is going to be at war pretty soon because the investment of billions of dollars.

i think president trump first 100 days is mind blowing because he has done so much in little time, i think if i rated the countries direction it would be a five out of ten because trump has tried to make things better but when he does that he creates another problem for example he wants to make the US come out of debt but by doing that he cut off money from other organizations and groups.

Since Donald Trump has become president, many things have occurred. In his first 100 days he tried to ban Obamacare, he's putting more money into the military and he's putting things under private organizations so the government won't have to out money into it so it could help America get out if debt. In Flint, Michigan, the water has become a huge problem. This crisis began in 2014; due to insufficient water treatment, over 200,000 people were exposed to lead in their waters, having to use water bottles to cook, to bath, to brush your teeth, etc. The fact that this has been happening for years and nobody not even the president has done anything to help this people shows the downfall that people in this country have.

in my opinion i feel like president Trump , will, really take america to a major down fall.i fear that he will make us go into debt. in his first 100 days he managed to ban people from america an hes also tried to to to remove Obamacare and replace it with trump care.Trump also is removing funding from the program hot wheels meals for the elderly and increasing the budget on military war fare.

If his stupid ideas continue I see nothing but the worse the US, his muslim "travel" ban was disgraceful as people of Islam pose no threat to the US but cause of past incident of radical Islamic events they are seen as terrorists. Also why does the US need more money for the military as the US already has the most powerful army in the world,focus on the middle and lower class and education.

Using Trumps first 100 days its sad that he hasn't done much although he has been president for about 3 months and some days i believe. At this rate i believe for me its a seven out of ten and the direction trump will lead the U.S is to the ground. Although he is providing more jobs he is also affecting other like companies that try to keep it natural meanwhile others release chemicals that affect our air and affect other companies.

After I look over Trump hundred days, I would rate this is 4 out of 10 because thier is alot of proplem in this country. For example, banned muslim for three months have some effects and many people did notlike it. Another example, trump tried to remove immigrant can effected the country. I predicted trump will face many proplem and people will be outraged at him because that affect he made will cause trouble in the U.S.

Donald Trump is really worried about putting money into our military. Where is he taking the money from alot of people ask...... He targets the programs that help people with needs and programs that put a positive affect on low income communities. This is only my opinion no one has to agree with me at at all but its the way that i see it. The military killed lots of ppl and saying it MIGHT be because the enemy are using them as human shields. I feel so bad for the families out there that have to walk outside their homes and see that their town is going away slowing. It just gives me a headache.

In my opinion, President Trump will be the cause of the downfall of the US, generally, politically, economically and educational wise. In the past, yes there has been budget cuts; however, there has not been a case of a president cutting from different resources all at once like the EPA, education, and anything else federally funded just to give it to the military. The military gets most of the federal wages anyway and the amount of money put into the military is already more than any country near us combined.

I think that the only thing that has been good to far since Trumps presidency is the stock market. It has been doing well since then and people are happy since they've been getting money in there pockets.I predict that since the stock market is doing well now it may not do so well like in the great depression.

I wish his first 100 days were already over and they are almost over.Almost! All the things he is doing is leaving us in a bad place. Its sad because we all know that he is doing bad but we can't, No I can't say that he will leave the country in a bad place. Yes, he have cut funding from things like: meals on wheels and P.B.S and put all of that money into our military which do not need it. Yes, under him the environment will basic be getting killed. For him letting business put there waste into streams that a lot of people and animals may drink. And for not believe in clean energy in cut funding for them as well.Just so people will have to rely on fossil fuel making his friends a lot of money.We can take all of those things in say that at this rate the country we not be in a good place once he is gone. but there is good this that can come from the bad.In a time were everyone need a job and need money now is the time to do that. At a time when people want to get rich fast the odds of doing that are high because of the stock market. I can't give a really rating on this topic all I can do is hope for the best like everyone else.

Also I've heard about taxes i quite don't remember but I know it won't affect the upper class as much but it will affect the middle and lower class i believe. But hopefully every thing goes good and hopefully Trump doesn't tear apart this world we live in lol.
