The Issue: President Trump’s falling approval ratings as he nears the 100-day mark of his second term.
It took former President Joe Biden and his administration four years to create the problems we’re facing today (“Trump’s slide down the polls,” April 26).
Yet the American people expected President Trump to correct everything on Day 1 or within his first 100 days in office; they can’t be that naive.

After four dismal years with Joe Biden, we expected a euphoric high with President Trump. But we didn’t get that high; instead, we got a gloomy forecast with no solution in sight.
Unfortunately, Trump pretty much flew off the handle, causing chaos mostly through his tariff increases.
He had a great opportunity to get us from the doldrums of Biden’s term, but didn’t take it.

The media is playing up the fact that, in various polls, Trump has the lowest approval rating for his first 100 days of any president in decades. Some pundits are downright giddy over it.
I’m watching this media circus, wondering if these people have ever heard the sports axiom, “It’s not how you start, but how you finish.”
Trump has accomplished one of the greatest comebacks in American business and political history. Does anyone really think that dancing on his grave now is going to age well?

A normal president would not harbor an extreme obsession against ever admitting error.
It is and always will be absurd for Trump, on April 2, 2025, to have signed an executive order declaring a national emergency based on his subjective belief that trade practices and our deficits constitute a threat.
Jeremy Siegel, professor emeritus of finance at Trump’s alma mater, put it well: This is the “biggest policy mistake in 95 years.”

Although an avid supporter of President Trump, I am bemused by some of his actions.
Instead of concentrating on lowering inflation and solving the tariff dilemma, he is blathering on about Greenland and Canada and seems to be appeasing Vladimir Putin and Iran. Trump will lose support if he does not act more like the pre-election version of himself.

The Issue: The Post editorial criticizing New York Democrats’ support for assisted-suicide legalization.
The slippery-slope argument prevents society from improving upon the human condition (“Just Say ‘No’ To Assisted Suicide,” Editorial, April 25).
Instead of alleviating human suffering from its most deserving recipients, we abandon the entire issue based on the fear of its corruption. Knowledge, skill, and compassion should allow us to create laws that protect us from the slippery slope.

Your editorial on medical aid in dying, arguing that there will be a slippery slope, is wrong.
In this country, unlike others, it is difficult to get laws enacted that authorize a dying patient to take prescribed medications. Expansion of medical aid in dying is possible, of course, only by legislation or court decisions, both of which are highly unlikely to happen.
Allowing nurse practitioners to be prescribers is not a slippery slope, nor is reducing the waiting period. There are no waiting periods for patients who stop or never start life-sustaining treatments.
Medical aid in dying has proven to be a safe, ethical, and rarely used option that benefits patients; terrible suffering ends, and a peaceful death results.
