Trump: "The standard of 100-first-days is ridiculous. Also, media unfair."




No matter how much I accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, & it has been a lot (including S.C.), media will kill!


----------

What is S.C.? I don't remember anything special about South Carolina. Does he means Ossoff's almost-victory in Georgia???
Or does he mean the Supreme Court? And wouldn't Gorsuch be McConnell's success-story, not his?

And what exactly did he accomplish during his first 100 days?
- failed to repeal Obamacare
- triangulating on wall
- failed to bring back coal-jobs
- failed to execute his brillant plan to defeat ISIS
- apparently "drain the swamp" means "replace bureaucrats with lackeys and lobbyists"
- made the US an international laughingstock
- started a pissing-contest with another power-hungry madman
- expressed his support for wannabe-dictators like Al-Sisi and Erdogan...
- misplaced a few warships

And let's not get into his illegal and impeachable stuff.

then he'll be tweeting how much he's accomplished in his first 100 days. All of a sudden it won't be so ridiculous. This guy is really a piece of work.

He has managed to accomplish a lot of damage to our nation. And he would be the expert on ridiculous.

I guess I shouldn't complain. Our best hope is that his incompetence continues and he will not be able to accomplish much of anything.

Did you forget this lil' Donald? YOU made the contract. You have a history of breaching contracts, so it's business as usual.

What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again.
It is a contract between myself and the American voter — and begins with restoring
honesty and accountability, and bringing change to Washington.

Oh the irony!

On Edit: Please be assured that in no way did I want him to achieve these items.

Trump’s claim that ‘no administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days’
................
The Pinocchio Test

It’s rather silly for any president to suggest that his first 100 days somehow topped Roosevelt’s achievement. Lyndon B. Johnson, Ronald Reagan and Obama are credited with significant legislative achievements early in their first terms, but much of their success generally came after the first 100 days. Trump would be well advised to not make such a big deal about this because the available evidence shows that he in no way comes close to matching FDR’s record.
