100 Days of Chaos

Looking back at The Progressive Teen’s coverage of the Trump presidency

ALTERNATIVE FACTS. Obamacare. Executive orders. Russia. Tweets. The first one hundred days of the Trump presidency have been defined by overwhelming chaos, blatant falsehoods, nonstop controversy, and sloppy policymaking. President Trump now closes the first stretch of his administration with record low approval ratings, plenty of broken promises and zero legislative wins. Here’s a look back at some of The Progressive Teen’s extensive coverage and analysis of the new administration, starting with the historic Women’s March.
