This presidency, at just past 100 days in office, feels defined by a dangerous drift. Democracy, once diligently defended, now dances on a delicate edge. Decisions are often divisive, driven by distortion rather than data. Disregard for decency, dignity, and dialogue dominates daily discourse, while disinformation distracts and divides.

Domestic despair deepens as debates dissolve into derision. Diplomatic damage has diminished our global distinction. Diversity and difference, once deemed democratic strengths, are demeaned, dismissed, or demonized. Denials of documented danger—climate disasters, deadly violence, democratic decay—drown out demands for decisive, determined leadership.
