President Donald Trump's electoral victory has plunged the country into uncertainty. The real estate mogul and reality star cruised to victory largely through his use of wildly racist and inflammatory rhetoric aimed at Mexicans, Central Americans and Muslims, his open courtship of white nationalists, and a bombastic approach that was merciless toward incumbent figures in the U.S. establishment.
Now as travel bans, immigration crackdowns, an end to the Affordable Care Act and environmental regulation repeals are decreed, many of the worst fears about the 45th president are being confirmed, leading to a crisis in confidence in the U.S. government as well as a massive upswing in people's resistance to Trump.
teleSUR takes a look at the first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency.

How Trump Continues Obama's Legacy by Killing 8-Year-Old Girl
When Trump took office, many observers criticized him, his background, his personality and his racist and Islamophobic slurs.
