When President Donald Trump completed the first 100 days of his second term, Americans from all over the country gave him advice about what he should pay attention to.
Americans in Washington, D.C., Detroit, Houston and other parts of the United States told Fox News numbers that they would like to see Trump have all kinds of problems throughout the rest of his term. Some also gave him advice on how to achieve greater success in the office.
In Buffalo, NY, resident Patrick offered Trump some positive encouragement, telling him: “In our country, this money is reserved. Keep the tariffs because they are going to work. Closing the border is the best thing you could have done.

But, some people, like Detroit’s Danny, say that the president can soften his approach.
“Try to be a more nonpartisan. Every Democrat is wrong, every Republican is right.”
Trump will take office for 100 days on Tuesday, a move that has hit the global economy on his agenda, citing his agenda to stop the tide of illegal immigration, cut wasteful government spending and impose reciprocity tariffs.
Trump received the best recognition mark for border security as the majority 55%, a new Fox News poll showed. This is the only question for his rating on positive territory. On immigration, a record 47% approved Trump (48% disapproved), while 38% approved the economy (56% disapproved). His worst ratings are inflation (33% approved, 59% objection), followed by tariffs (33%-58%), foreign policy (40%-54%), taxes (38%-53%) and guns (41%-44%).
Looking ahead, Americans told Fox that they want Trump to focus on the next step with his second agenda.
