The American tradition of the first 100 days as a benchmark for a presidency’s success is a concept that dates back to Franklin Roosevelt’s first year in office during the Great Depression.
Fastest Twitter fingers, Muslim ban, Executive Orders, Russian-ties investigations, protests, Trump’s first 100 days has been anything but seamless.
Donald Trump himself, in an exclusive interview with Reuters, had this to say about his first 100 days:
“I loved my previous life, I loved my previous life. I had so many things going. “I actually, this is more work than my previous life. I thought it would be easier.”
Oh dear. Are we seeing Trump pressing the regret button?
But setbacks and nostalgia aside, this has been cited as one of the gains of Trump’s first 100 days: “Trump administration’s successful negotiation this month to free Aya Hijazi, a U.S. citizen who had been incarcerated in Egypt since 2014. Egypt also freed Hijazi’s husband and four other international charity workers who had been imprisoned with her.”
Roberts, a Dodge City Republican, who began his career as a congressional aide when Lyndon Johnson occupied the Oval Office in 1967, says Trump is “the most unique president we’ve had since Teddy Roosevelt.”
Here’s a summary of Trump’s 100 days in office:

For months Trump bragged about all he'd accomplish in his first #100Days. He's done none of it. The failure is galling. So he wants war.

With all due respect, compared to his goals for first 100 days, he failed to fulfill almost everyone one of his promises & reversed many.

Trump’s accomplishment
If Trump does absolutely nothing else for the remaining 1,360 days of his presidency, it will still have been worth it for Gorsuch. #100days

President Trump used to blast Obama for his executive orders.

Sarcasm
When I remark on how little Donald has accomplished in #Trump100days, it's with this in mind: The less he achieves, the better for us all.

The only good things 'President' Donald Trump's first 100 days have brought us are Alec Baldwin and Melissa McCarthy on SNL.

Tombstone worthy
Trump's biggest accomplishment from his first 100 days is not being impeached yet.

You got that right. Hang in there, ‘Orange’
