Growing Discontent with the Trump Administration
Recent protests across the United States indicate a rising dissatisfaction among citizens with the Trump administration's policies. Events like the 'Hands Off' protests demonstrate a shift from the Democratic Party's strategy of waiting out the administration to a more active resistance movement.
