As President Donald Trump finishes the first 100 days of his second term, Americans from all over the country are giving him advice on what he should focus on next.
Americans in Washington, D.C., Detroit, Houston and other parts of the country told Fox News Digital there were a variety of issues that they want to see Trump tackle throughout the rest of his term. Some also offered him advice on how to be more successful in the office going forward.
Buffalo, N.Y., resident Patrick offered some positive encouragement to Trump, telling him, “Keep the money in our country. Go ahead with the tariffs because they’re going to work. Closing the border was the best thing you ever could have done. Drill, baby, drill.”

However, some, like Denny from Detroit, said the president could soften his approach.
“Try to be more non-partisan. It can’t be that every Democrat is wrong, and every Republican is right. Someone has to have an ounce of sense in that Congress,” she told Fox News Digital.
Trump will mark 100 days in office on Tuesday, a period marked by his agenda to stem the tide of illegal immigration, cut wasteful government spending, and enact sweeping reciprocal tariffs on foreign countries – a move that has sent shockwaves throughout the global economy.
A new Fox News poll revealed that Trump receives his best approval marks on border security, as a 55% majority approves. That’s the only issue where his ratings are in positive territory. On immigration, a record high of 47% approve of Trump (48% disapprove), while a new low of 38% approve on the economy (56% disapprove). His worst ratings are on inflation (33% approve, 59% disapprove), followed by tariffs (33%-58%), foreign policy (40%-54%), taxes (38%-53%), and guns (41%-44%).
Looking forward, Americans told Fox what they want Trump to focus on next with his second-term agenda.

When asked for what advice she’d give Trump going forward, one Houston resident named Lynn told Trump to relax with his approach.

Fellow Houston resident, Dave, disagreed, advising Trump to “Keep going, stay on track, and don’t get off track.”
Eric in D.C. advised Trump to trust in God, stating, “Just be prayerful. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not into your own understanding. And in all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct you.”

An anonymous man from Detroit urged Trump to unite the country, though he expressed doubt that’s even possible.

Another Detroit native named Gilbert told Fox, “He’s got to dial it down a little bit, focus on what he’s good at, and remember to lead for everybody.”
