'Kicking butt' or 'going too fast'? Donald Trump voters reflect on 100 days
@Source: bbc.com
Jeremy Stevens has faithfully stood by Trump for years.
"[Trump is] very aggressively getting things he promised on the campaign trail done," he says.
At his automotive repair and used car shop in Maine, Jeremy sees some customers who feel differently about Trump's economic efforts. But the 45-year-old believes their nerves around tariffs in particular come from "a lack of understanding".
The tariffs are part of a Trump administration vision that Jeremy believes will pay off in the long run - if critics can hold on until then.
"There definitely is a perception out there about the impact of these policies that is short-sighted," he says.
Trump's back-and-forth shift on tariff policies have come at a price, economists say. Markets around the world were sent spiralling. The International Monetary Fund has cut its global growth forecast because of the uncertainty, with the US hardest hit. It warned there is a 40% chance of a recession in the US.
But Jeremy is convinced time will prove Trump right.
"It's a temporary pain," he says. "This too shall pass."
