Trump’s approval rating tanks to the lowest of any US president in decades as he marks his first 100 days in office

General Motors, the largest automaker in the U.S., has withdrawn its previous forecast predicting profit growth for this year until it has “more clarity” amid Donald Trump’s sweeping auto tariffs.

Imported cars were slapped with 25 percent tariffs this month with the Trump administration warning Saturday that it will impose 25 percent levies on imported parts. Approximately half of GM’s cars sold in the U.S. are made abroad, predominantly in Canada and Mexico.

The company’s chief financial officer, Paul Jacobson, shared his concerns that Trump’s levies may have a substantial impact on the company’s earnings this year.

“We are not going to give any more forward guidance on tariffs until we have more clarity,” he told reporters Tuesday, per The New York Times.

“We don’t want to put out a number from the company that is a guess amidst what the administration might do.”

It comes as GM revealed that its income slid by almost 7 percent to $2.8 billion in the first quarter of 2025.

President Donald Trump deserves the credit for rookie college quarterback Shedeur Sanders finally finding a team in this year’s NFL Draft, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed on Monday.

That’s despite 112 players being drafted between the first round ending and the player finding a new home.

Sanders, 23, was widely expected to be among the first players to be picked up by a pro team. But surprisingly, he had to wait until the fifth round of acquisitions before receiving a call-up from the Cleveland Browns, becoming just the 144th player to be selected overall and having to watch five others in his position go before him.

Joe Sommerlad has the details:

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says he believes that the Democrats may be able to flip the House, but remains “very pessimistic” about winning back the Senate – with the Republicans holding slim majorities in both chambers.

The former Vice President hopeful, who ran alongside Kamala Harris, made the remarks at Harvard University’s Kennedy School Institute of Politics on Monday when he was pressed by an ABC reporter about his predictions for the 2026 midterm elections.

“I think we will take back the House,” Walz said. “I am very pessimistic about the Senate, just to be honest with you.”

“With the way things work, I think it’s a very difficult look,” he added.

Michigan Representative Shri Thanedar has introduced seven articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.

Thanedar, 70, became the first Democrat to try and impeach the president or officials of his administration.

The articles of impeachment, which are unlikely to go anywhere in the GOP-controlled House, are against a raft of the president’s actions since returning to office three months ago. They include the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man sent to El Salvador because of an “administrative error,” and DOGE slashing funds without Congress’ approval.

“I have just introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump,” Thanedar wrote on X Monday. “Donald Trump is not above the law, and when he ignores the constitution, he should be held accountable.”

One hundred days into his second term in the White House and Donald Trump has commanded a chaotic reordering of the federal government, the nation’s economy and targeted virtually every aspect of American life.

He broke records — including his own — introducing tariffs and executive orders, and he faces more than 200 lawsuits against him and his administration.

Below, The Independent’s data correspondent Alicja Hagopian and senior reporter Alex Woodward explore the numbers behind the beginning of Trump’s second term, from a crashing stock market to mass deportations and purges of the federal workforce.

After Donald Trump again repeated proposals to annex Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney remained defiant.

Hours before Carney’s Liberal Party won Canada’s federal election, Trump again called for Canada to become the 51st U.S. state.

The president promised to bolster the Canadian military and said that businesses would “QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES if Canada becomes the cherished 51st.”

Later Monday, Carney posted a video on X with the message: “This is Canada – and we decide what happens here.”

At the end of January, after Donald Trump was ensconced in the White House for the second time, NPR reported that his wife, Melania, would be returning to Washington “with significant experience under her belt”.

“One thing’s definite,” the NPR host concluded, “the public is going to be seeing more of Melania Trump.”

While Donald Trump has barely been out of the news, the first lady has hardly been spotted. Even after a public show of affection in Italy at the Pope’s funeral over the weekend, the couple reportedly went their separate ways the minute they landed in America.

Alex Hannaford looks at what is going on.

Canada’s incumbent Liberal Party staged a powerful comeback after riding a wave of anti-Donald Trump animosity to victory in the country’s federal elections.

And even though his support was the kiss of death to Canada’s conservatives, Trump himself apparently couldn’t help taking credit.

“You know, until I came along, remember that the conservative was leading by 25 points,” the mercurial president admitted and/or boasted in an interview with The Atlantic published on Monday.

“Then I was disliked by enough of the Canadians that I’ve thrown the election into a close call, right? I don’t even know if it’s a close call.”

Donald Trump signed three more executive orders on Monday concerning policing, immigration enforcement and English proficiency for truck drivers.

The law enforcement order looks to bolster both state and local police forces with better pay, cast-off military equipment and free legal support.

The immigration order directs Attorney General Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to “identify sanctuary jurisdictions” – a place that refuses to fully cooperate with the administration’s efforts to arrest undocumented migrants – and take steps to withhold federal funding from the areas.

A third executive order seeks to enforce existing rules that require professional truck drivers to be proficient in English, stating it “should be a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers.”

President Donald Trump made a jab at Taylor Swift while the Philadelphia Eagles were at the White House on Monday to celebrate their 2025 Super Bowl win.

“I was there along with Taylor Swift — how did that work out?” he said during a speech.

Swift attended the big game in New Orleans at the Caesars Superdome to show her support for her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The Chiefs were not able to overcome the Eagles’ early lead and lost with a final score of 40-22.

After winning the Super Bowl back in February, the Eagles received an invitation to the White House to commemorate their win against the Kansas City Chiefs.
