As President Donald Trump passes the milestone of 100 days in office, opinions on his performance vary widely across the country. From executive orders to tariffs and deportations, constituents are offering grades that reflect their views on his early decisions.
In Clark County, Nevada, where Trump secured over 50% of the vote in the 2024 election, opinions are split. One resident shared, “I'm gonna give him an A because I did, in fact, vote for Trump and I do think he is going to bring God back into this country.” In contrast, another voter replied, “He's not good for the economy. The economy is tanking. He's not doing anything he promised the people that did vote for him.” A third voice chimed in with a B grade, stating, “I think he's done a lot of the stuff he said he would do when he got into office already.”

Arizona, where Trump had his largest margin among the key swing states, also reflected this divide. A Phoenix voter stated, “I would grade him an A,” citing past business experience. Another expressed discontent, giving him “a big fat F.” A third voter shared, “That guy runs this country like a company, not a country,” awarding him an A grade.
In California, where Trump lost to former Vice President Kamala Harris, opinions in San Diego were similarly polarized. “I'm giving president Trump an A because I feel safe with him as president,” said one resident. Meanwhile, another proclaimed an F grade, arguing, “I believe that he has taken this country down a path of chaos and division.” Economic concerns were prevalent, with one individual framing Trump's performance as a C, stating, “I feel like you've gotta give somebody a little bit more time than just a few months to judge them.”
