100 days Donald Trump: As the US President attacks the system, country and nature

Trump was very busy, following the 2025 Project and Steve Bannon's advice to "fill the area" so many initiatives that the talkative deals of negativism could not analyze one dubious action before Trump had a few more. In three months, Trump has done more than any president in his memory to destroy the government, deprive civil servants, appoint incompetent people to higher government positions, cause economic upheavals, threaten US unions and undermine the trust of the rest of the world.

Although he makes it free from the government's interference in their lives, he actually uses the real or far -fetched presidential powers to change the behavior of people and institutions far beyond his administration. It is a strategy designed to drive into the corner of their critics and force public institutions and governments to obey the rigid ideologies of the far -right. At some point, Congress and courts can find the courage to curb Trump's excesses.

While Trump is promoting one particularly devastating strategy, the loss of which will be long -lasting, if not permanent. Trump is attached to the energy balance of the last century, consisting of oil, coal and natural gas. Leaders of other countries agree that we should switch to energy that do not cause pulmonary diseases and climate change. They are accessible, clean, inexhaustible, primordial and inexpensive.

But in the last three months, Trump has snapped markets in favor of dirty energy, suppressed the transition to net energy and curtailed government programs that help people cope with the harm caused by fossil fuel. Trump justifies these irrational actions, pretending that climate change is a hoax, and fossil fuels can be clean. Neither is the other nor the true.

Climate change destroys whole communities through floods, forest fires, increased sea levels and tornadoes generated by strong thunderstorms. In 2023, almost 880 Americans were killed in extreme weather conditions, which is 20% more than in 2019. Because climatic stability is deteriorating and no place in the US is protected from its consequences, material losses and the death toll will continue to grow.

Meanwhile, extreme weather conditions make housing insurance inaccessible, undermine the cost of real estate, increase consumer prices, increase the load on state budgets and destroy ecosystem services, which we depend. What does Trump do about all this? It eliminates global warming programs created by past presidents, abolishes restrictions on emissions into the atmosphere and confiscate funds and programs intended for the introduction of environmentally friendly energy.

Instead of recognizing a real emergency with climate, Trump shortly after joining the post announced a fictional emergency in energy to "solve hands" of fossil fuel and achieve "energy dominance", although the United States is already leading in the world of oil and gas production. Coal is the dirtiest fossil fuel. Its contribution to America's energy balance has declined as utilities have switched to purer natural gas and renewable energy.

However, Trump issued a decree on the "revival of the beautiful coal industry of America". Why do these actions threaten irreversible damage? The main reason for climate change is the carbon dioxide released during burning of fossil fuel. The carbon dioxide that has entered the atmosphere today will remain there for hundreds and even thousands of years. It is hoped that scaled and accessible techno secreases will ever appear in the world to remove this gas, but today they are not available.

Others offer exotic geoengineering solutions, but they entail unknown and unpredictable consequences. Solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower technologies are available now. Their energy is free and clean. We do not need to drill, dig, undermine, break the layer or spend fresh water to reach them. Trump intends to make these opportunities impossible for oil, gas and coal companies to be endless from the suffering that they cause catastrophic weather and carcinogenic air.

It is an energy policy based on greed and uninvited neglect of the health and safety of the people who are elected to serve. Trump created the conditions for families to become more sick, poorer and less safe, at the same time destroying public health and response to natural disasters that could help them. Add this to the list of its achievements in the first 100 days. The author expresses a personal opinion that may not coincide with the editorial position.
