Well, the Mar-a-Lago membership fee doubled from $100,000 to $200,000 even before Trump was inaugurated. In his first 3 months he also spent more taxpayer dollars on security for personal travel & golf weekends than any of his predecessors.

So you can't say Trump hasn't accomplished anything.

He royally p!ssed off some folks whom I enjoy seeing in that state. And he'll continue to do so.

So he's aces in my book.

Neilly-Boy Gorsuch on the Supreme Court, racial activists out of the Justice Department. He's accomplished some big-time stuff if you ask me.

Well, the week is almost half over and so far no new health care bill has been introduced, funding for the wall has been shelved and tax reform is not on the plate either. I'm not sure why the true believers thought we'd see these items taken care or with a hard dead line at the end of the week for avoiding a government shutdown.

Mess he left? I think you are confusing Pres. Obama with your boy Bush. Trump has failed more in 100 days than Pres. Obama failed in 8 years.

And he's just getting warmed up.

I know this has been said before, but I keep seeing images of Trump rallies in which he asked "Who's gonna pay for the wall?" and the adoring crowd shouted "Mexico!"

I'm convinced Trump is sending subliminal, hypnotic messages every time he and members of his staff are on TV. How else would he be able to keep his base? I mean, if I were 5 years old and my mother kept saying "If you eat all your vegetables, I'll buy you an ice cream cone for dessert" and after licking my plate clean, I was told it would come out of my allowance, I'd be pretty pissed off. His supporters certainly must be smarter than a 5 year old.

The only things he has accomplished other than Gorsuch are a pile of executive orders and rolling back of regulations, i.e. protections, that dismantle environmental protections, worker's rights, protections against Wall St excesses --- all things that will guarantee more poisoned air and water and more white collar Wall St crime. I cannot see one positive thing that his administration has accomplished. And yet today's polls show that 98 % of his followers still support him. For the life of me I don't understand why.

Sounds like what the libs @ Berkeley want for those they "don't agree with"....

After 100 days & 15 trips to the course, Trump's definitely got his golf game up.
