A nice summary of Trump's achievements (or lack of) durin the first 100 days.

TL;DR
Quote
So basically, anything he could accomplish easily by signing an EO he's done, and he's barely attempted anything more difficult that requires legislation. The one thing he has tried to accomplish, repeal and replace, crashed and burned incredibly hard. Still, overall he's accomplished a lot more of his promises than I expected, but things are going to get a lot harder from here on out when he has to actually work with congress to get anything done.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

You know why Donald Trump thinks the first hundred days of his Presidency have been a success? Because the ratings news networks are getting with him are higher than what they got for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Donald Trump did an interview with the AP, and sounded like a blithering idiot by the standards of blithering idiocy that have been set by him and GWB.

Yeah, we really should have seen a reality TV personality measuring his own success through TV ratings coming.

Have you learned nothing from Jill Stein? Obama is a neo-liberal warmonger, and Hillary is no different. Both of them would be just as bad as Trump. Jill knows this, because her best friend Putin told her she just knows.

Just ignore that bit where she challenged the vote count.
Does anyone take Donald Trump seriously, anymore?

Yeah, "challenged" the vote count. No way that money didn't just go into her pockets next campaign.

Trump's tax plan (at least a sketch of it) was revealed, and it has such wonders as cutting the corporate tax rate from 35% to 15%, reducing the top bracket marginal rate from 39.6% to 35% (though it reduces seven brackets to three), abolishing the "death tax" (because America needs a true hereditary aristocracy), giving corporations another "tax holiday" (hey, when was the last time you had a tax holiday?), and killing the alternative minimum tax. It also gets rid of "loopholes" like the deduction for state and local taxes, so you happen to live in a state like California or New York, well, fuck you for not voting Republicanyou're being taxed too much and you should talk to your state legislator about that.

Nobody knows.  That's the whole thing that everyone's pointed out.  They do this, and the economy collapses under the burden of this, they'll all wonder who's to blame.  Then blame the poor some more.

Ironbite-cause they're idiots.

This is the modus operandi of the Republican Party. Destroy the budget so that when Democrats get back into power, they're forced to fix your mess instead of doing the stuff they want to do, plus you get to blame them for a ballooning debt.
