100 days in, Trump voters in Washington have some reservations but say 'be patient'

Tuesday marked 100 days into President Trump's second term, and it's been a whirlwind start for his administration. Many Washingtonians who voted for him say they still support him — but they're a bit hesitant about some of his actions.

Last fall, Ibrahim Aljalal was elated by President Donald Trump’s re-election.

Aljalal moved to here from Iraq in 2009 and said he loves the U.S. One of the first things you see when walk into his Kent barbershop is an American flag that hangs from the ceiling.

While at his shop, he showed off the wallpaper on his cellphone: a photo of Trump raising his fist after surviving an assassination attempt last year.

That moment in the photo, Aljalal said, is the ultimate sign of strength. He has three kids and thinks of Trump as a fierce father leading the country.

“Because in my culture, with my religion, they say the father — he cares about family,” he said.

100 days into Trump’s second term, Aljalal is still a passionate MAGA man. America is stronger now than it was before then, in his view.

But not everyone who voted for Trump is as pleased with him as Aljalal.

"Definitely happy that he won, but I don't think he's necessarily doing wonderful right now, particularly on the economy," said Ilya Z. from Seattle.

Ilya didn't want to share his full last name out of concern he might be targeted because of how he voted.

He describes himself as a big free market guy — and he doesn't like Trump's tariffs.

"No, I do not think that Trump has a plan,” Ilya said. “I think he is throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks."

He agrees with Trump that China is an adversary. But he likes buying cheap stuff and thinks a trade war will drive up costs here.

"[I] don't think it's worth taking the economy over,” he said.

Georgene Faries, a Trump supporter former state House candidate from Arlington, voted for Trump three times and attended his inauguration in January. She said she believes in Trump and even though some of his policies have shaken up other countries, she trusts him.

"I think nations are coming around,” Faries said. “I think we're going to see the benefit. This takes a while to turn things around, and people need to see it's going to pay off. I'm just sitting back and waiting."

All of the executive orders and cuts to federal agencies are what people like her voted for, she said.

"There's always going to be some pain in change and pain in implementing those kinds of things,” said Faries. “But those are the consequences."

Roger Droz is a tax preparer from Mukilteo. Because of his profession, he thinks a lot about money, he said.

He voted for Trump to improve the economy and said he hopes the tariffs aren't permanent.

"I think that he's smart enough to back down,” Droz said. “Not everybody is as aggressive a negotiator as Trump. That's a unique personality trait that he has."

When it comes to immigration policy, Droz said that while he supports deporting people in the U.S. who are undocumented, “it also costs to round up and deport people."

He added, "There needs to be a balance. How far down the chain do you want to go?"

Droz agrees the United States should take over Greenland, as Trump has boldly proposed. But making Canada the 51st state, as the president called for this week?

"We don't need Quebec,” Droz said.

Many Trump voters in Western Washington share a similar sentiment: They're not quite sure what the president's long-term plan is, but they're not abandoning support of him yet. They say it's still too early to judge the president only 100 days into what is sure to be a very busy four years.

"I'm still just kind of hanging on for the ride with saying I hope he knows what he's doing,” Droz said.

For his part, Ibrahim Aljalal offers this advice: "Give him time. Be patient, because it's not easy taking care of a big family like America.”
