Chris Cooper: Western Carolina University Political Science Professor on President Trump's First 100 Days

The opening 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term have proven to be among the most consequential and sweeping starts to a presidency since Franklin D. Roosevelt entered the White House. Trump’s actions have challenged the foundations of the New Deal, the Great Society, and even the Reagan-era Republican principles of free trade and strong international alliances. His administration has aggressively targeted law, media, public health, and cultural institutions in an effort to reshape them.

Chris Cooper, a political science professor at Western Carolina University, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss Trump’s latest approval ratings and what they reveal about the political climate.
