We have no tangible statistics to show he has done anything to really make changes.

It's only been 100 days -- I'm not saying he won't -- but he has done little yet. More bells, whistles and show...but nothing concrete and tangible.


Also, no legislation passed, either.


Just a flurry of mostly toothless EOs. Plus, we hate EOs, because they circumvent Congress. Right, guys? Right? Or, is it OK to use your "pen and phone" if there is an R in the big chair?

There is one way trump and Obama are alike. They used EOs to get around an uncooperative Republican congress. That an R president can't deal with an R congress, most of whom undoubtedly voted for him - well, that's simply pathetic. And says everything there is to say about his self-aggrandizing claims to be a great negotiator.

Hey, at least President Trump is honest about the difficulty of being President, missing his old life, etc.

Trump says he misses life before he became US president - BBC News

As one tweeter in this article posted, "I also miss my previous life . . . before he was elected."

Funny that CNN is criticizing him for being honest .
I think this is the appeal of Trump to many he just says what he's thinking.

Why would any Commander in Chief say such a thing? Honesty?! He's leading the country and possibly to war and is saying it's "harder than I thought it would be"! Sorry, but as he would say, "a really really terrible thing to say."

Funny that Trump actually thought being the CEO of his own company was more difficult than BEING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

But then if he said it's easy , he would get slammed too
They'd say "Trump isn't taking this serious .. he thinks it's as easy as being on the Apprentice blah blah "

I wonder if this might be an example of the Peter Principle in action.

People tend to rise to "their level of incompetence".

A ****ing college kid asks what is expected of him before he interviews for an internship. This idiot apparently lacks the common sense of one.

I will never be president but I know how difficult the job would be.

Unfortunately I know. Can't complain stuff ain't getting done with those idiots getting in the way. I am still hoping President Trump takes advantage of a terrorist attack and declares martial law and suspends congress.
In order for him to take advantage of one, we would have to have one. Is that what you want, another terrorist attack? There is something wrong with you.
