Before his return to the White House, US President Donald Trump promised the "most extraordinary first 100 days of any presidency in American history".
In many ways, he's delivered.
With the swish of his black marker, Trump has signed a record-breaking number of orders, up-ending American institutions, reshaping international relationships, and sending US and global markets seesawing.
Since January 20, his administration has:
- Withdrawn foreign aid and dismantled the US Agency for International Development (USAID)
- Directed agencies to shut down their offices focused on diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) and accessibility
- Discussed plans to take control of Greenland, the Panama Canal, and even Canada
- Used a 1798 law called the Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants, some of them to an El Salvador prison without due process
- Caused global economic turmoil by imposing tariffs on almost every country, before pausing most of them
The 100-day milestone has always carried cultural significance in US politics.
It's a moment to take stock of a new leader's progress and how American voters are feeling about their choice.
With Trump due to hit the 100-day milestone on April 29, 40 per cent of Americans approve of his job performance — a 7 per cent decline since February.
While he retains high support among his base, his economic management has taken a hit, with 59 per cent of Americans disapproving of his tariffs policy, according to a poll by Pew.
Before he was elected, the ABC spoke to a sample of voters across America about whether they planned to back Trump, or his Democratic rival Kamala Harris.
Three months later, we've revisited the same voters to hear how they're digesting Trump's return to the White House.
'He will say something insane … but then he backs off'
When the ABC last spoke with Christine Cloud, she was looking forward to casting her vote for Trump in the crucial swing state of Nevada.
Angry about having to move in with her stepfather due to a rising cost of living, the former Democrat believed Trump would bring the price of everyday items down.
Now months later, the 64-year-old retiree is "keeping her fingers crossed" that Trump knows what he's doing.
"Every now and then I'm like, 'I hope this is going in the right direction,'" she said, referencing Trump's aggressive trade policy that's rattled the global economy.
"But you have to go through a little pain to get to the other side."
Despite rising inflation, fears of a recession and a trade war, Ms Cloud is quick to say she has no regrets about voting for Trump and doesn't believe she's any worse off financially than she was when Joe Biden was at the helm.
"As long as I can still make my bills and I don't get in financial trouble," she said.
She's pleased with the administration's "lightning speed" and feels the president has fulfilled the promises he made on the campaign trail "more so than any president I've seen in my lifetime".
But she's not thrilled with everything she's seen in the last 100 days.
She said she cringed at the public blow-up with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and that talk of taking over Canada was "just nuts".
But she believes that behind the bluster, there's a strategy.
"He will say something insane … but then he backs off. And I think it just gets the conversation going on purpose," she said.
Overall, Ms Cloud feels hopeful.
"Americans just aren't used to someone being bold and trying to get stuff done because we had great grandpa in charge for so long," she said.
'Trump don't have respect for nobody'
Maurice Combs, a Democrat, can't stand bullies.
The 51-year-old barber from the Deep South has spent his life trying to impart positive values to those whose hair he cuts, "from drug dealers to politicians".
But with Trump back in office, he's worried basic standards of human decency are being abandoned — teaching younger generations all the wrong lessons.
Now, he sees a nation in decline with a bully at the helm.
"We, the people, make up the government," Mr Combs said from his home in Atlanta, Georgia.
"But we got a bunch of tyrants now, it's like an oligarch — do as I say, not as I do."
For Black communities and minority groups, Mr Combs fears dark times are ahead.
He describes the treatment of immigrants by the Trump administration as "disgusting".
"It feels like everything is falling down and it's falling down at the base," he said.
"The basis of the whole American dream, the basis of the amendments and everything that we hold true. It's a joke now … and that's the scary part."
As for his finances, Mr Combs says he's "definitely" been struggling more in the past few months.
First he noticed a rise in groceries. Then came his insurance bill.
"I've had to cut back on a lot of things," he said.
"Trump don't have respect for nobody but people with money. He forgot about the small people."
He hopes Trump's presidency will serve as a "wake-up call" to Americans, and believes the only thing that can restore stability and integrity to the nation is divine intervention.
"God bless, not just America but the world. For real. Because you got a lot of nefarious people in high places making decisions … and we got billions of people on this planet," he said.
'I don't think he sleeps'
Republican Cristina Junge is ecstatic.
During the past 100 days, she has marvelled at the breakneck speed the president has set to fulfil promises made on the campaign trail.
"I don't think he sleeps. He's always go, go, go, go and doing, doing, doing," she said.
The 80-year-old retiree lives in a retirement village outside of Phoenix, Arizona — not far from the Mexican border where claims of a migrant "invasion" were salient in the 2024 election campaign.
So on day one in office, when Trump began making good on his promise to carry out "the largest mass deportation" of undocumented migrants in history, Ms Junge was delighted.
"They don't belong here because they're not even American," she said.
A migrant herself, Ms Junge moved to the US "the legal way" from Colombia in the 1960s.
She believes Trump's claim that he's fighting a war against "terrorists", fentanyl and crime caused by undocumented immigrants.
Then, days after his inauguration, Trump proclaimed the US government will recognise only two sexes, male and female.
"That was absolutely beautiful," Ms Junge said. "Trump believes in family, in faith and in country … the three most important things."
Prior to Trump's return, Ms Junge saw a nation "headed for bankruptcy" that didn't care for its own citizens.
She said Trump had now given young people "a future to look to", a more united country, and a much-needed change for the world.
"If anyone is going to unite this country it's Trump … this is a fight between good and evil and I think that good will always triumph," she said.
'I'm just disappointed in America at the moment'
As far as Erica Sampson's concerned, Trump is not her president.
"I don't care that he has the title, he's just not my president," she said.
"He should be like a party clown, he would be great at kid's parties … but as someone who's the leader of America? No, that ain't it."
We first met the single mum at a phone bank in South Carolina.
The 37-year-old HR professional dedicated weeks of her life campaigning for Harris in the hope the nation would elect its first Black female president.
Today, Ms Sampson is deflated, the frustration in her voice palpable.
"I'm just disappointed in America at the moment," she said.
"These are terrible times … you turn on your TV and you're constantly reminded that all that work, it just went nowhere."
To her mind, Trump's worst action has been the stripping away of DEI initiatives. But after all her advocacy, she's decided to just sit back and let it play.
She was hoping to buy a house for her and her three children, but with a teetering economy, she's put that dream on hold.
She describes Trump's "my way or no way" leadership style as being bereft of empathy or respect for the rule of law.
"It's definitely giving authoritarian and dictatorship," she said.
"Because he's in this position, it's like we [Americans] are an extension of him, we're like an association of him."
But Ms Sampson says she's not frustrated at Trump. She's frustrated by the Americans who voted for him.
"He showed y'all, and then he told y'all," she said.
"You didn't think he was going to do it but now that it's affecting you it's a problem. No, it was a problem when you put his name on the ballot."
'We're nervous'
Fourth-generation grain and dairy farmer Les Danielson has just finished planting this year's crop of soybeans on his farm in northern Wisconsin.
With a simmering trade war, Mr Danielson has no idea if they'll be worth anything come harvest time in September when they will be bound for export to nations like Malaysia and Thailand.
"We're nervous," Mr Danielson said of his farming community.
"He's made a colossal bet on this trade thing, and it could greatly affect the US economy for better or worse going forward."
Mr Danielson, who voted for Harris, believes the true impact of Trump's aggressive and unprecedented trade policies won't be felt right away.
But if the worst happens, he's facing the prospect of earning no profit and sinking further into debt.
"Imagine going to your job, working all year, and at the end of the year you made no money, you actually lost money," he said.
"If the worst hits, farmers will basically work all year for nothing."
Trump has urged Americans to "hang tough", but speculation is mounting that the president might need to re-introduce a taxpayer-funded bailout brought in during his first term to compensate farmers facing financial ruin.
"It's no secret that farmers have overwhelmingly supported Trump in the past," Mr Danielson said.
"A lot of them are still supportive but once you start paying high prices in stores and you receive lower prices for your products, that's where the loyalty test will really happen."
Until then, he's hoping that come September, some brakes will have been applied to Trump's policies and all trade alliances will be restored.
'He's doing the hard work to make our country better'
When Trump first ran for office in 2016, neither Stephen nor Holly Purcell were big fans.
Ms Purcell once considered herself a lifelong Democrat, but she became fed up with what she calls "the wokeness" in the party, and flipped Republican.
She believes Trump is "exactly what we need right now".
Mr Purcell has been a registered Libertarian for 20 years.
But it was talk from Trump of reviving America's industrial heartlands that earned him Mr Purcell's vote.
"It was refreshing. I thought, wow I've got to start listening to this guy," he said.
Now, 100 days into his presidency, the pair has been both impressed and surprised.
They own a machine shop in central Pennsylvania that makes metal parts for lolly factories and automotive plants.
Over the years, they have seen more and more business disappear to competitors in China and South America.
Mr Purcell fondly recalls a time when kids could graduate from school and get a job in a factory that would bring in a decent wage to buy a house and raise a family.
Now he says those factories and industries have disappeared, leaving ghost towns in their wake.
"They're just dumps," Mr Purcell said.
"It's been going in the other direction for too long. We haven't seen any light at the end of the tunnel for decades. It'd be nice to have work coming back to our country instead of leaving it."
As he sees it, Trump's tough trade talk is simply the art of the deal.
"He goes way beyond where we need to be and then everyone meets in the middle so I don't think he's overstepping, he's just in the negotiation process," he said.
Overall, the Purcells are concerned about what could come next after Trump's second term.
"I just hope Americans are proud enough to weather any kind of difficulty so that we'll be stronger in the long run," Mr Purcell said.
'It just seems very Orwellian'
Nineteen-year-old university student Eva Eapen aspires to one day work in government or academia, but today she's demoralised at the prospect.
Ms Eapen studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), and said it had been hit with funding cuts "left and right".
"There's a culture of fear and distrust of authority, of institutions, of UNC, of the government," she said.
"It just seems very Orwellian."
The political science and public policy student cast her vote for the first time last year in support of Harris. She felt confident the former attorney-general would uphold the constitution.
Now that Trump is back in the White House, she says America has seen a president "wage war" on the judiciary and show a chilling disregard for the rule of law.
"To me, that is extremely frightening," Ms Eapen said, referring to the government defying a court order to deport a man with legal status to a prison in El Salvador, and later calling it an "administrative error".
"We are in an ocean of news that all seems catastrophic but the gravity of the executive branch wilfully defying the judiciary is … to me, it's democratic backsliding.
"He is willing to erode institutions and trample amendments and reach for power in a very brazen way.
"We are slipping and sliding into a constitutional crisis … it's imminent."
'We've been on a bullet train'
Pittsburgh lawyer Eric Jackson Lurie was elated when Trump was elected, and he's impressed with how quickly the president is ticking off his to-do list.
"The first 100 days, we've been on a bullet train," Mr Lurie said. "He's just checking off boxes."
Two early actions stand out.
The first: declaring foreign gangs in the US as terrorists.
"I'm a criminal defence attorney, so I see this stuff firsthand," Mr Lurie said.
"Declaring them as terrorists freed law enforcement … to go after a lot of these criminal elements in this country."
The second: the "common sense result" of removing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies from government and the military. Mr Lurie believes they had gone too far.
"That has made so many people in America breathe this big, deep sigh of relief," he said. "The army is there to protect this country, not to be worried about how someone wants to qualify their gender."
He was initially unsure about Trump's tariffs, though.
"In a perfect world, in a perfect economy, I am a free market conservative, so the idea of tariffs goes against my thoughts with how the economy should work," he said.
"But the problem is, and I remind myself, that this was not a perfect free market between the other countries. I've come around on that, but initially the tariffs were a concern for me."
Overall, he's feeling optimistic about the economy.
He just bought a holiday park in rural Pennsylvania, but he's not sure he'd have been confident to invest if Trump had lost the election.
"When Trump got elected, I pulled the trigger."
