Proud Liberal
... and how has he done so far?
Now, Trump has *not* been completely unsuccessful. Although I'm liberal, I fully admit Trump has decreased illegal immigration. The stock market has improved due to public perception of him. We're out of the TPP. That's all good stuff.
But as this snarky image shows, Trump has failed at many things. Worse, he has gone back on his campaign pledges, such as refusing salary (until he donates it, he's keeping it), planned cuts to Medicare, filled his administration with bankers and cronies, and so on.
As a whole, I think the only way you can claim his 100 days were successful is if you focus on non-measurable, ethereal categories like "Rebuild our image" or "Told those fatcat Washington elites what's what". Those cannot be proved or disproved.
Again, Trump has done some successful things. But I think it's clear from his 100 days that:

Again, Trump has done some successful things. But I think it's clear from his 100 days that:
- His campaign promises were bullshit designed to fool people (just like any politician's lies).
- He is making enemies left and right (and not just the "elites" as Tea Party Republicans tanked his & Ryan's healthcare bill).
- He doesn't get that a political leader is not the same as a business leader. He doesn't have the same control and power within his "business" and needs to negotiate more.
