The 47th president has deployed his power in a way that compares to few predecessors.

His blizzard of executive actions has reached into every corner of American life.

Critics fear he is doing irreparable harm to the country and overstepping his powers.

The White House has moved aggressively to wrest control of spending from Congress , defunding programmes and entire agencies.

The economy was the biggest concern for US voters in November 's election.

Trump rode a tide of deep unhappiness over Biden 's handling of inflation all the way to victory.

But as Trump tries to follow through on his promise of new tariffs, the economic costs, at least in the short term, have become painfully apparent.

The stock market is sinking, interest rates - including for home mortgages - are rising, and consumer confidence is down.

Donald Trump's first 100 days have been an unprecedented display of unilateral power exercised by a modern American president.

The president is wielding that power in a way no previous modern president has attempted.
