Trump’s First 100 Days in Office
What kind of grade would you give Donald Trump for his first 100 days as the 45th president of the United States?
I was thinking about this topic recently when he reached that milestone. I guess we can’t give him an A+ due to the Republicans’ healthcare legislation failing to reach a vote. Maybe that plan will get tweaked enough to win widespread support, but for now it’s a mute point.
In other areas, however, it appears that Trump is doing his best to keep his promises. And he’s making some headway despite opposition.
Jobs
As far as jobs are concerned, his first full month in office (February 2017) saw an increase of 235,000 jobs in the U.S., with the unemployment rate dropping from 4.8 percent to 4.7. As a comparison, last year the economy produced an average of 190,000 new jobs per month.
And it’s not only new jobs where improvement is being seen. Consumer and business confidence is high, while stocks have risen to record levels. Wage growth is also on the rise.
It remains to be seen whether Trump will be able to fulfill his promise of creating 25 million new jobs over the next 10 years, but his administration is off to a strong start.
Immigration
The wall might not be up yet, but early in the Trump Administration we’ve seen signs that illegal immigration is going to be dealt with in a forceful manner.
According to Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, the number of people illegally crossing the U.S. southern border during Trump’s first full month in office decreased by 40 percent. The number – 18,762 – was still high, but it was down from 31,578 the previous month.
One of Trump’s first actions as president was signing an executive order to increase border security and authorize construction of his promised wall along the southern border.
He also wants to hire approximately 5,000 more border patrol officials and 10,000 additional Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, while at the same time fast tracking deportations.
Foreign Affairs
In addition to the Obama Administration and other world powers giving away the store in their 2016 nuclear deal with Iran, the former president seemed soft on our country’s enemies during his tenure.
It doesn’t look like it will be that way with Trump. He’s standing up to Russia, Iran and North Korea. He knows that wavering will only embolden our adversaries.
As Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton said, “No amount of words, however clear or forceful, will prevent this kind of aggression; only firm action to defend America and our allies will stop them in their tracks.”
Looking Ahead
Regardless what grade you would give Trump for his first 100 days in office, there’s one thing he – and every other world leader – will always be powerless to deal with: natural disasters.
You may be in a more positive mood than you were during the Obama Administration, but a crisis of some kind or another is inevitable. As I’ve said many times, you need to be prepared.
Think about the things you will need in an emergency – survival food, a water purification system, a generator, etc. – and get them in your stockpile now before it’s too late.
I believe President Trump has done a wonderful job. Despite all of the “Do nothings placing every obstacle in his . Any lesser mn would have given up long ago. But President Trump took all of these obstacles in stride and pushed forward.
He gets an A ! President Trump is exactly what was needed right now! Without the frantic media attempt to distract from all the positive things he’s done and is doing, it would be obvious! Every “scandal” they have come up with is a baseless and attempt to discredit. The Supreme Court is finally being turned right side up, Illegal immigration is being dealt with, jobs are being created, the stranglehold of unnecessary regulations is being eased, the Military is being strengthened and we finally have a LEADER who loves this country and is working to make it Great again – not apologizing and running it down everywhere he goes like our last non-leader!
A – Those libs that do nothing but throw insults and derogatory remarks about puff president have been brainwashed by the press and far Jeff academia. DONALD TRUMP is a man who had been placed in the office of president for such a time as this. Our country was at a tipping point with the globalists gradually taking over and our way of life being eroded. Then most of us woke up and elected a man for the ages. Those of us who understand the globalist agenda must stand with our president and support him so that we can return to being the bastion of freedom that Ronald Reagan often talked about. We need to support our president in every way as he is bring attacked from every side. And remember that God is on our side and we need to be praying every day for our country and our current leader.
As a Canadian, I speak for myself on this subject. People are hating him because of his before president actions. I never really cared for him before , but he has changed for the better . He is one of the only POTUS that does what he says and tells it the way it is. We have our own problems in Canada with the Liberals running the country and Justin Trudope emulating his father and surpassing him with making the country go into debt more and more. He does take a good picture though and never misses a chance to do so ..
So an A- for trying the face of all kinds of bullshit being sprayed by Liberals everywhere. And for the comment about Fox News and Trump. My goodness , havent you seen the TNN network and Im not talking about The old Nashville Network.. This network is trying to make people believe what they are saying and it is true, they follow along like puppy dogs. When someone says something different, they go to commercial and you never hear from that person again.. Don Lemon is the worst with his pulling on the heart strings of America approach.. totally irresponsible reporting.
I heartily agree with my Canadian brother in what he has said. The Liberals here have demoralized this nation for the pendulum has swung far away from a God fearing nation to a very pagan one. This present President is trying to take it back. We need to be praying for him and encouraging him in any way we can.
“A”…Politicians are destroying America and changing the tide will take true Leaders. Thankfully, TRUMP is NOT LIKE the career politicians who bend and twist their principles and values tied to their campaign funding pool! I’m encouraged by what My PRESIDENT IS WoRKING TOWARDS and I trust he will keep PUSHING AND PuLLING ahead!
F. He is a blatant liar, is inarticulate, a narcissistic bully, has absolutely no skill in diplomacy and is an embarrassment to the country.
I like’em
I support President Trump as he is trying to right the ship . . . Simply put, the swamp is pushing back. EVERYONE with a mouthpiece is against throwing everything they have including lies and innuendo. The people that are protesting most vigorously are the ones that received “participation trophies” and therefore never lost. Well the people spoke, the libs lost, and now it’s time they get on board just like we had to accept their choice.
I think that President Trump has done an excellent job as President. Other nations are showing respect once more to our country and He is putting Americans first. Those who have a sense of entitlement won’t ever like him and neither will those who would like to see our country become a Socialist country. I would love to see those in our Congress back him up and do what we the people put them in office to do- take care of OUR business and quit trying to make those who are living off of our dollar happy.
On a scale of A+ to F— Trump scores an X or Y and only people with an !Q below room temperature that listen to Fox News will Disagree with me!!! Trump is just like Fox News where 90% of the words spoken are bald faced lies!!
I totally agree.
I give him A. I think if people would give him a chance he could turn things around for the good. People want to come to this country because of the way it was not for what it’s becoming but when they get here they want to bring there ways of living with them. Then we’ve failed our way of life
As a non-American I feel embarrassed for your bumbling president and his childish actions! His blatant racism is appalling and people supporting him should look deep within to see if that is the kind of person they really want teaching values to their children. This world has enough hatred as it is and it breaks my heart to hear how many people are supporting this hatred and ignorance. It isn’t actually about putting the “USA” first! We are all humans, co-existing on the same planet and need to take care of each other and this planet! Global warming is also very real and it’s a shame the rest of the world will have to try and make up for Trump’s decisions!
I don’t see where the hatred or the racism is. He wishes to keep America safe and he is doing a lot for the people in the USA. I assume you have your plane ticket for your home country, so you can improve it.
I actually don’t live in the USA, so no plane ticket needed! This is how others, outside of the US, feel about your president! I have many American friends who are also embarrassed by Trump’s behaviour and as an “outsider” we see a lot of hatred (towards many groups of people)! You shouldn’t build up some Americans by tearing down others! Where is the love?
He is an embarrassment. I did not like him on the apprentice. He is so full of himself
I agree with CL above. “Donald Trump is unfit to be president of anything except possibly he’ll. He is a narssisistic bully who is only interested in his own agenda The very best thing that could possibly happen is for him to be impeached and and face the traditional punishment for treason.”
President Trump is doing a great job of leading our country. He has so many enemies, it’s a wonder he can get anything done at all. I wonder, has anyone noticed how tired he looks? Surround that brave man with a hedge of prayer and support to enable him to properly carry out the tasks that have been laid before him. He needs our support. For the sake of our country’s future, let Trump lead.
Trump deserves an A* he is really trying to fulfill his promises to the voters which will be very hard with the immoral press against him. This reflects that he is trying to follow the 10 commandments from the Bible and the Bil of Rights from the US Constitution. This is the only way our government will last. Our forefathers said our government was made for a moral people. It will not with stand with immoral people in charge.
He has exceeded my expectations and in those areas that I don’t understand his approach, I recognize that I don’t have all the facts and cannot see the results, yet. I thank God that he’s proud of American and cover Trump with prayers.
He is doing a great job for the AMERICAN PEOPLE, and for AMERICA.
The Declaration of Independence states that “governments are instituted among men to secure THESE rights.” The rights enumerated by Jefferson are “life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” of the people—not the government. We were SUPPOSED to be “One Nation Under God,” basing our government on the principle faith of the people. President Trump is the first president since Hoover to actually attempt to follow those principles. He’s the first non-Professional Politician we’ve had for decades. We used to call them “Statesmen.” I believe he’s trying to be a statesman, but he can’t buy a good comment in the liberal government controlled press. We need to give the guy a chance. After all he has accomplished something with his life besides steal from the people of this nation.
I think we finally have a President to be proud of I just wish the press and the rest of our government would respect our president, and stop all the criticism about him, and try to help him instead of always throwing up road blocks.
As a Non American and followed Trump’s path to be president, I give him a B+
I think President Trump is the best thing that could have happened to American. When the clinton crime family came on the seen in early to mid 90’s, we have not had an honest government, a government that America and our citizens, they only cared about money, it seems the politicians
Agenda was to get rich, no consideration for our country, or the citizens that vote them in. That left the door open for the super greedy obama, and because his insecurities, his need to have his ego stroked for just standing there is not a qualified canadiate for president. Lying about his agenda to
To radicalized our youth thru indoctrination, under the weeny slimmy underhanded way he infiltrated our government, he needs to be impeached, jailed, or hung for treason. Yet the time and money wasted on appeasing the false accusations, over and over, when we all know, if they had any proof, they would shouted from the rooftop, and with all the leaks to the opposition party, they should have
Something, anything to back up they’re congested up crap, yet there is a “special investigation” on what has been reported by everyone with access to
Real information, hell even they’re own dimwits
Have concluded “there is nothing there”. The ignorance of this special investigation to push a “WISH” of the anti-American dimwits, and not the obama regime, the clinton crime family, or the entire dimwit party, where there is actual evidence
Of treason and planting of obama losers in Our
American government that are not Americans, that alone should have had the communist impeached, and there is proof of treason by the obama communist party. Does this sound like the actions of loyal, patriotic Americans government officials, it does not to me. I agree, before graduating high school, all students should pass the immigration test, at least give them a solid grounding in there truth about there country’s history, our values, and what it means to be an American, and what there responsibility is towards there country, this would eliminate college indoctrinators, until we take back our American education and start educating again, and it needs to happen ASAP, to stop the head games with our youth, and get the sick obama mindset of hate, bigotry hypocrisy, that will not serve these kids well, these kids are being used to bring down there own country, and elect to live a life governed by morally bankrupt, self serving incompetence, that needs a country full of mentality incapable of decifering fact from fiction,
And afraid to speak out, for fear of punishment, because they have a need of there own, like fresh food, not having having money to feed themselves after all the taxes eat up all there ability to live to the standards are willing to work for! The opposit of American values. Indite the communist democratic dictators, and step up vetting, to extream vetting to insure our two party system stays that way.
I voted for Trump. But I don’t think he will be able to accomplish much due to the Russia scandal. Unfortunate. He needs coaching on how to speak with out digging himself further into the hole. Needs some humility and needs to stop saying “I have the right as president”….blah blah. If he would stop responding and just listen when these security experts give him information, they wouldn’t be able to misconstrue everything he says and there would be nothing to repeat to reporters and leaking info would be minimal. I hope he gets his act together.
I believe that President Trump has done an excellent job in spite of all the criticism. Just wish the people would respect him and his position and quit trying to find fault with everything he does. Let him alone and let him do all the things he said he would do when he was on the campaign trail.
Donald Trump is unfit to be president of anything except possibly he’ll. He is a narssisistic bully who is only interested in his own agenda The very best thing that could possibly happen is for him to be impeached and and face the traditional punishment for treason.
I guess you were asleep during the last administration ? You know, when Hillary and Barack literally ran America like their own private crime syndicate ? Yet now you show up and want SOMEBODY? impeached ? What a F**ing idiot….
You don’t even know treason when you see it happening, or we would be seeing Obama and Hillary hanging from a tree. Yet ya’ll Haven’t found ONE THING that supports that Trump has done anything wrong that would be cause to challenge his term of office……..How about calling for a complete investigation of the past administrations activities? Plenty to charge them with if you care to look for the TRUTH !
AND, you won’t have to go to Hell to find ’em either………….
So you think President Trump is unfit and corrupt, then you must really have it out for the obama/clinton crime family, where there is actual proof of criminality and corruption!
I also am curious, there is no proof of any actual illegal acts by President Trump, there IS however, actual proof of the obama/clinton crime family, how do you come to the conclusion, Trump should be punished for treasonous acts against America, with no proof, and the obama/clinton crime family, proven to have committed multiple crimes against America, american citizens, the constitution, our financial deficit, which has drastically increased, I mean beyond ridicules, by the financially challenged, greedy obama, with the spending of citizens tax money obama has stolen from the citizens he he pledged to work on behalf of, obama, like a drug dealer, in the middle of the night, in cash, delivers enough money to put the terrorist on a financial footing, that puts the entire world in jeopardy, and lies about his reasoning, he fund his true alliance w/Iran, not to mention the billions the narcissist spent on personal vacations, the money he has stolen from our country to fund his communist takeover university, Crime boss clinton selling off our uranium to our other enemy, Russia, and pocketed the funds from selling American assets, assets that give the terrorist the funds to acquire the one material they did NOT have access to, for making nuclear weapons, and made a killing for her colinton retirement fund. America has not benefited from the massive greed the obama/clinton crime family, which you can only conclude, is the reason they got into politics In the first place. NOT BECAUSE, THEY LOVE THIS COUNTRY, WANT TO PROTECT THIS COUNTRY, BELIEVE IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT INFACT ITS THE ACCESS TO UNEARNED ENDLESS CASH, AND POWER THAT HAS ROBBED THEM OF THE CHARACTER, MORALS AND COMMON SENSE NEEDED TO BE OF A QUALITY AMERICAN POLITICIAN OR AMERICAN CITIZEN FOR THAT MATTER. So again, how do you come to the conclusion, Trump should be punished for crimes the opposition party cannot find evidence of, and the crimes the obama/clinton crime family, with evidence you don’t need a special committee to uncover, just look at the devistation and depletion of our country’s ability to sustain itself, the replacement of our respected reputation as a strong world leader of the world, and the Unity in our America is now been declined to the third world intellect with no real message of there agenda they are able to justify with clarity. BUT,
it’s Trump that should be punished for treason???????
Trump is nothing but a failure.
I support President Trump,however, I really do wish he would STOP The constant Tweeting!!! He is the President of these United States and NOT some
teenager!!! It would be hard for ANY President to try and survive the CONSTANT negativity that is put out there on a daily basis by those in government that have truly been hurting the American people…..it will take more than a village to stop the corruption in politics, but he is trying.
AND, where has any candidate brought up the fact that the CONSTANT abvertising of drugs by big Pharma on TV is showing our children that you just take a pill etc. for EVERYTHING!!! They spend millions doing this!!!!!!!
In general I would give him B+ not that he hasn’t tried to do the right things but there are too many politicians fighting against him including his own party. Congress needs to pull their heads out of their rumps and work together to make things work right but that will most likely never happen since they are too busy worrying about their own pockets and the Demoquacks are still whining about that Hillary lost. And Comey should have been fired the first day Trump took office for not doing his job in the first place.
F—
People pay attention are rights are being taken away as never before. Trump isn’t running anything. Wake up. Before you are saying I didn’t mean me, I meant them!
Don’t listen to the noise……
Whatever he does will stir up the DNC…….
We need to discontinue discussions with the DNC and the media
People better wake up & see it is all about the OWO taking control. We would be in war already if Trump did not get in office. Mr. Trump is doing the best he can . Every thing he does he is stopped or confronted. He is not a yes man & elite don’t like this. The 1% want martial law so they can control all the usa through UN. Its coming if we don’t support & pray for our leaders. jerry
I will give President Trump an A- for his decisions/polices and B+/B for his communication.
I support President Trump!
Pres. Trump has made a lot of noise in his first 100 days. It seems EVERYONE is talking about him and his rather unique style. He is by no means perfect, but perhaps congress will come to realize they need to work TOGETHER and reach across political aisles to accomplish what’s best for ALL Americans.
P.S. The review of our national monuments has been a highlight event for me personally.
FAIL!
His medical plan is a bust. The Republican congress has voted to keep OBAMACARE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR STAFF.
The security of Trump Tower and the estate in Fla is costing millions a month.
His constant tweeting is childish and very un presidential
Those are my starters
Fail! I have no other comments. Those with eyes and wish to see know why.
I THINK HE IS DOING A GREAT JOB. IT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER IF THOSE, ELECTED WOULD WORK FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY, INSTEAD OF FOR THE PARTY. THEY ARE WASTING TIME AND MONEY.
QUINT
TRUMP is stumbling along, keeping the balls in the air. a few fits, bumps, errors & WAY TOO MANY TWEETS. it is a tough ON THE JOB training session so far. i would give him a B- overall. i still have faith in his HONEST EFFORT. time will tell.
Honorable President Trump: Your The Best President Since Ronald Reagan To Serve Our Nation The Honorable President Reagan Made Some Mistakes Just As You Will.Be Not Dismay For Your Good Policies Will Out Weight The Other ! God Has Place You In Office For This Time In History ! I Pray God Will Direct Your Path Through Out Your Tenure !
FOR MSN ONLY-I LOVE PATRIOT HQ AND OTHERS like them. I use MSN for their games only. I scan their headlines, however, the bias is so blatant that I cannot stand their headlines, so definitely go somewhere else for news. Why did you people not learn that your lies and deceit are greatly disliked by the majority of the public? Did you learn nothing from the election? Wake up and grow some principles, morality, truthfulness and manners!
So agree with you!!
President Trump receives a high B+ for his first 100 days.
I think Trump has had an uphill battle and he’s doing pretty good in spite of that.
I support The President and feel He has accomplished what he could with all the resistance against him.
I support Donald Trump.
Comey was not at all the cause of Hillery Clntons loss . It was of her own deceitful actions Period !
