As President Donald Trump approaches the conclusion of the first 100 days of his second term, citizens from various cities across the United States are sharing their thoughts on crucial issues he should prioritize moving forward.
Residents from Washington, D.C., Detroit, Houston, and beyond conveyed to Fox News Digital a range of topics they hope Trump will address in the coming months, with some providing insights on how he might enhance his effectiveness in office.
In Buffalo, N.Y., local resident Patrick offered optimistic advice, stating, “Focus on keeping financial resources within our country. Proceed with the tariffs, as they’re likely to produce results. Your decision to close the border was pivotal. Drill, baby, drill.”

On the other hand, some, like Denny from Detroit, suggested a more conciliatory stance from the president. “It’s essential to be less partisan. Not every Democrat is wrong, and not every Republican is right. We need some rational thinking in Congress,” she remarked.
Trump will reach the milestone of 100 days in office on Tuesday, a duration characterized by his commitment to controlling illegal immigration, reducing unnecessary government expenditures, and implementing extensive reciprocal tariffs that have stirred significant reactions in the global market.
A recent Fox News poll indicated that Trump garners his highest approval ratings regarding border security, where 55% of respondents express their support. This topic is the sole area where his numbers remain positive. His approval for immigration stands at a record-high 47%, contrasted with a near-parity of disapproval; in the economic sphere, his approval has fallen to a new low of 38%. Concern over inflation marks his most considerable challenge, with only 33% approval compared to 59% disapproval. Additional areas of concern include tariffs, foreign policy, taxation, and gun control.
As the next chapter unfolds, citizens shared their hopes for Trump’s future objectives.
