President Trump's First 100 Days - The 2nd Time Artwork

Politically Minded Gal

Hi, I am Ashley Crosby and I am a politically-minded gal who believes that words matter. And none matter more than those spoken or used by the individuals we elect to a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. So, in this podcast, I strive to take an unbiased approach to examine the meaning of the words used by modern-day and historical political influencers. So, when it is our turn to vote, to govern, and to lead, we are better educated and informed than the generations before us who have left us with a mess. Subscribe and join me on this journey to better understand the impact the words of our leaders have on our future. And what we can do about it.

President Trump's First 100 Days - The 2nd Time

April 30, 2025 • Ashley • Season 3 • Episode 8

Welcome back!

Well, it's been 100 days (officially today, April 30th) since Donald J. Trump took the oath of office for the Presidency of the United States of America. And it's been a wild ride!

In this episode, we dive into some of his early actions, controversies, and I conclude by discussing a public lecture I attended at the University of Virginia Center for Politics.

Sit back and hold on as we explore what one political reporter has described as "the most destabilizing in American history."
