Re: President Trump's first 50 Days
You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.
Trump's first 50 days have been an unmitigated disaster.
An unbelievable mix of hubris, ineptitude and ignorance of the job.
There has never been a worse first 50 in my lifetime.
And, cutting and pasting a White House press release and passing it off as news?
Sad.
Just sad.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: President Trump's first 50 Days
And all those executive orders, directives, memoranda, proposals, signings, and negotiations are nothing more than a basket full of Granfalloons.
And you know what a Granfalloon is don't you?
If you don't, look it up.

Re: President Trump's first 50 Days
Didn't he also sign an executive order to create a task force to make America great again? They should have listed that, too.

So far, mainly bluster.
But largely ineptitude. .

Re: President Trump's first 50 Days
Being that President Trump has completed less that 4% of his total term, and that all of his so-called successes have largely come through memorandum or Executive Order, I don't think any honest analysis of Trump's presidency so far would come the conclusion that it's been successful.
To Trump's credit, he hasn't done anything yet to hurt the economic and job momentum that has been occurring for the lasts 12-18 months and to be honest, has probably boosted it a little.
But the big stuff, health care, tax reform, debt reduction, immigration reform, drug prices, shoring up entitlements, etc. (all the stuff he needs congress for), we're still a long way off from finding out how much of a leader he really is.
And that's not even including North Korea's nuclear tests, the crisis in Syria, and ISIS, which Trump has generally been ineffectual at both understanding and coming up with a plan to deal with. Although again, to be fair, it's only been short time since he's been in office.
I think you're going to see a lot of different United States of America over the next three, four, or eight years. - President Donald J. Trump
