Democrats rally at US Capitol to decry ‘failure’ of Trump’s first 100 days

Lawmakers including Chuck Schumer denounce failure' on economy, costs, foreign policy, democracy and middle class

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers gathered on the steps of the Capitol on Wednesday to accuse Donald Trump of spending his first 100 days damaging the US economy and democracy with the help of complicit" congressional Republicans.

The speeches by party leaders served as a counterpoint to Trump's insistence at a rally in Michigan the night before that he has delivered the most profound change in Washington in nearly 100 years" with an administration focused on mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, the dismantling of parts of the federal government and the levying of tariffs on major US trading partners.
