As of this morning, Donald Trump has been president of the United States for 100 days.
LOSERS
President Trump
The first 100 days weren't good for Trump, objectively. And judging by his comments about his learning curve, he knows it. He has one signature accomplishment in confirming Supreme Court Justice Neil M. Gorsuch. But he has no significant legislative victories; three of his big executive orders have been halted by the courts; and his approval rating at 100 days is the lowest of any president in the modern era, by double digits. To top it all off, this was a president who promised to do huge things and do them quickly — now he's breaking promises almost weekly.


To pitch Trump's first 100 days as a success, the White House has resorted to citing highly misleading statistics and even bragging about how many executive orders Trump has signed — executive orders that Trump could sign thousands of if he wanted to and that he referred to in the past as the sign of a weak president. That just about says it all.
Analysis | Winners and losers from President Trump

Since when did the amount of legislator that a President has gotten passed = someone being a good President?


Personally, it seems that the more laws that are passed, the more freedoms we lose. So why does more equal better?

Lots of things. He proposed a budget and tax plan that does meet many of his promises like taking care of our veterans and lowering people's taxes. He has hosted several foreign leaders and successfully forged good relationships with leaders of countries like China and Israel. He got the ball rolling on Keystone Pipeline and held several meetings with CEOs to promote job growth and preservation in America.

Doing all that with while having to deal with all the ridiculous slings and arrows from the liberal left and media (what happened to all that big Russian conspiracy talk), I would give him a B+. The numerous trips to Margo and his childish tweets are the only things that really bother me.

your freedom depends on laws. Your argument amounts to you believing you know the correct number and what they should cover.

I say the only reason we have such a strong economy is because we have so many laws that protect the people and the things they build and value.

The idea that "less is better" sounds great, the reality is life, industry, trade are complex and that requires complex law.

Trump pretends to his supporters that regulations are bad, yet his entire empire is based on very strict regulations that are designed to encourage development and growth. without the complex rules in place Trump could not fund his projects as the risks would be too big. This man you admire (trump) is spinning you a lie.

The best example was Trump's almost instant move to kill the hard won Fiduciary rule.

This rule was fought tooth and nail by banks, investment firms (wall street) they lobbied hard and heavy to block it. But with effort it got through.

Trump ordered it killed. Why? well the rule required that retirement advisors don't rip off the public. that is it. It simply insured that mom and dad don't get tricked by a slick marketer who wants to put them into a plan that profits goldman sachs.

This is why complex regulations and laws are needed to protect you, your dumb brother in law who will leave your sister broke .

Trump should not be destroying rules while stomping around bragging and getting nothing done. he should be helping to create more rules like the Fiduciary that he so heartlessly killed.

not to mention gutting the FCC, installing PAI who is openly breaking the FCC and is making it so that you , me and everyone else will have fewer carriers, fewer ISPs and higher prices.

Sure he is, after 100 days. And I'm sure you've researched all 44 of the others in order to be able to draw that conclusion.

In 2014 the US (federal and state) passed over 40k laws. Do you really think we need to be passing that many each year? Seems a bit ridicules.
