The Thread: Obama had an incredible first 100 days compared to Trump [PHOTOS]

Lover, family man, patriot, President Obama’s 100 days in office tell the tale of a sure-footed leader who was focused on getting the job done. And he did get the job done, if his approval ratings are anything to go by. In fact, Obama’s first 100 days was hailed as “the most impressive since F.D.R”( Franklin Roosevelt) by Joe Klein. The media described Obama’s first 100 days as “historic” and “impressive”.

Compare that with Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office, which he marks with nostalgia and a twinge of regret. Americans have stamped a big ‘F’ on his report card. Safe to say, Obama is firmly entrenched in their hearts.

Pity.

Twitter compares and contrasts

Obama inherited a mess, didn't play golf for 100 days and made it better. Trump inherited a strong economy, goofed off, and fucked things up

Imagine if Obama spent his first 100 days explaining to people that the job is actually really hard and he hadn't Googled anything before.

Imagine if Obama, 100 days in, had given an interview where he basically said “I’d rather be doing my old job"

Is the comparison fair, though?

Trump's 100th day in office is April 29th. Currently, the comparison vs Obama on major legislation in the first 100 days isn't a fair fight. pic.twitter.com/kRm2odRRpQ

More’s the pity.
