Being an ignorant Brit an all - I wonder if someone could kindly tell me what achievements have been made by Trump in his first 100 days?

I'm an ignorant Aussie, but it seems like the election of Tronald Dump may have been a reaction to Brexit.

Brits: I bet you can't do anything stupider than we just did!
Yanks: Oh yeah? Hold my beer and watch THIS!

No sour grapes?

He proved to the world that white male rednecks truly are stupid. They still support him.

First of all President Trump will achieve nothing on his own. He has a staff and all of us as Americans who want to see change can make a huge contribution to actually making things happen by writing our lawmakers. They actually read those letters, well assistants do. As John F. Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, Ask what you can do for your country. There are many things we can do for our country and one doesn't have to look far.

Secondly, we reelected our last president without any notable accomplishments , and actually some really degrading times for our economy, but every president, along with the rest of us accomplishes a lot just by his role in keeping us alive, knowing how many people hate our way of life here, many would just love to wipe us out and keep us living in fear. 

 I cannot point out anything specific because I do not keep track of current events by watching 24 hour news channels and trying to stay on top of everything. Our government, despite who is president, has quite a job keeping things going as smoothly as they do. If we ever face anything like the Great Depression or the American Civil War again, then we will know we are in trouble. Abraham Lincoln saw it fit to attack the southern states and lose hundreds of thousands of United States and Confederate lives, without considering other options in any major capacity, and today we know those things are never going to work out well and with modern weapons it would be the demise of millions.
 
 I am the last to say "Trust your government" but we are left with little choice when the elections are over. If we are writing our lawmakers, and it is really easy, but most people don't care that much as they prefer writing things no one that can do much will likely read,  we are doing about all we can do. We need to voice our concerns with pen and paper, not with electronic mails.
  
 Every president I can recall undergoes so much scrutiny because half the people already don't like the man and then the other half start to dwindle when we see broken campaign promises.

 What I would ask is what have we all done in the last 100 days? The president isn't God or even a king who can make things happen by twitching his nose, he needs a United States, as that is what he was elected to serve. There is no United States except in name anymore, maybe there hasn't been since the Civil war. So many citizens hate the opposing party and love to see them fail, this impacts us all. 

 We too often look for for our president to save us but what happened to individual responsibility? A man cannot lead without followers and when his own countrymen are campaigning against him, his job is much harder. Reagan turned things around after Carter, because all states except Massachusetts were behind him, he United the country. After 9/11 G.W. Bush had an extraordinary approval rating because we were under attack and the people needed someone to look to.

 As I said, I do not follow politics and anyone who seeks the truth and digs deep into the subject, will find it is overwhelming and corruption lies everywhere but for those who live the fairy tale that we know everything, they are soon lost.

 Probably the most truthful statement I have heard from a politician is from former president Jimmy Carter who said in an interview on Oprah that he could not be elected today because he doesn't have the money for the campaign. I feel he was one of the most moral men to set foot in the White House, and perhaps this is why he was the worst president in Modern History. He said in the interview that we no longer have a democracy that we have an oligarchy and this is so true. I think most all know the president is just a face and huge foreign and domestic corporations, the people in the world with the money control the country, particularly eastern Europe and Saudi Arabia. People who still point fingers at the president, regardless of the party are not very informed in the reality of it. Being up-to-date on current events the media wants you to know does not mean one is informed. 

 I did not vote for Donald Trump, I do believe in praying for the leaders whether I would have voted for them or not, I prayed for former president Clinton when he had heart surgery, although he helped set the stage for the financial crisis a lot of areas faced by his promise to "double the size of the American economy" and he did indeed make sure things were going good at the time by making it easy to get home loans for people who should not have had them and allowing big corporations to get bigger. I'm unsure if Hillary resigned from Wal-Mart's board of directors as soon as they moved to the White House or not but they are staunch capitalists, as any intelligent American can be. I often ask people exactly what did Clinton specifically accomplish during his eight years, and usually I have to answer for them because they cannot give an answer.

 As I've said, I am ignorant by choice on current events. Watching news continually will drive a person insane. I do know there are some major issues going on right now that have to be handled and I don't think an assessment of 100 days is anything short of a waste of time. we, the country, elected him for four years and when it is time for him to run for reelection, we can make a choice.

 As for you missing something, none of us can know it all. You know a lot about politics it appears. As far as finding anything 'concrete', what are you looking for? What do you consider accomplishments? I look for accomplishments in all our leaders because we have to make the best of it and it helps if we are United, if not in all ways, which probably isn't possible, but at least in some ways.

 May we all live in peace and prosperity, whoever is in office. I think that is what most of us want. 

This is the dawn of a new time as with the french choosing a new president on May 7th between Emmanuel Macron and the Nationalist Marine Le Pen, who wants to withdraw from the European Union that is controlled via the World Bank that is controlled by the corporation Goldman Sachs, huge corporations like this feel threatened as they have had leaders in their pockets for at least a century. 

 We just need to take time to dig deep into what is going on and not think we can repair decades of damage to our country from a string of previous bought and paid for politicians and a news media that is controlled by sponsors. We need to realize 100 days with the turmoil we have going on is not long at all. We could end the threats quit rapidly but we we have to be civil about it and it is a delicate balance.

 Politics have turned into a drama series, everyone tuning in to see what happens on the net episode. I say let us all do our part and pray the president and his staff do the best they can and look out for our county and allies. We must also consider 100 days is just the beginning and the president is here for more than 7 years and 8 months more.

 We live in a beautiful country that people with such radically different ideas can discuss our differences and still live in peace and get along with one another. I'm thankful people like you share your ideas with me.

 Thank you.

 

President Trump’s first 100 days in office have been unlike any other. But a closer look at the five previous White House administrations show that many of Trump’s legislative challenges and foibles during this time were not unique.

Of course, none of Trump’s predecessors spent their first 100 days defending the size of their inauguration crowds, accusing the previous White House occupant of wire tapping them, or learning that their campaign has been under FBI investigation for months. No president has had such a low job approval rating at this point either.

But, like Trump, Ronald Reagan pushed a big tax cut package. George H.W. Bush struggled with how to follow a popular two-term president. Bill Clinton failed to pass a major domestic bill through Congress in his first 100 days. 
Even on foreign policy, Trump’s first 100 days are not so different from his predecessors’. He authorized an airstrike on Syria; George W. Bush ordered attacks in Iraq to enforce a no-fly zone. While Trump has been unable to make any progress on his campaign pledge to build a southern border wall, Barack Obama reaffirmed his commitment to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay during his first 100 days. (It remains open today. 

More broadly, Trump is confronting similar struggles compared to the five presidents before him:

Like Reagan and Clinton, Trump begins with a decentralized White House staff

The infighting among Trump’s staff has been the source of endless unflattering headlines. Most presidents have at least one Cabinet pick go south for some reason, but few administrations have had such widely reported staff drama at nearly every policy pressure point in the first 100 days.

The knives have been out for White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus since the beginning. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appears marginalized. Adviser Kellyanne Conway and press secretary Sean Spicer have earned their own “Saturday Night Live” characters. And then there’s the big battle between advisers Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon.

This level of internal conflict may seem unprecedented — and in some ways, it is — but Reagan had similar issues during in his first 100 days. He came into the White House as a Hollywood celebrity, employing a handful of equally powerful advisers at the top — namely Edwin Meese, James Baker III, and Michael Deaver. There was significant infighting among them, as well as among the Cabinet members.

Much of this infighting was instigated by Reagan’s secretary of state, Alexander Haig, who took on not just Vice President George H.W. Bush, but also the budget director over foreign aid, the transportation secretary on Japanese auto imports, and the agriculture secretary over Soviet grain imports. Reagan staffers also had to contend with a very powerful family member: first lady Nancy Reagan.

The biggest difference between Reagan and Trump, at least so far, is that Reagan found one big issue — his tax cut package — and focused on it almost exclusively in his first 100 days. Trump has seized on a new issue nearly every day (or every hour, if you count the tweets).

In many ways, this makes Trump’s first 100 days in office more comparable to Clinton’s. And the hodge-podge, scattered agenda behind both Clinton’s and Trump’s first 100 days might be rooted in the same problem.

Neither president had a strong chief of staff, and both had a more decentralized White House in which many top aides have the ear of the president. In the case of Clinton’s White House, the first chief of staff was Mack McLarty, Clinton’s friend since kindergarten. But an internal analysis after the rough 1994 midterm elections suggested that McLarty didn’t bring enough order to the White House, and people were going around him. He resigned.

George W. Bush also started with a chip on his shoulder

When the second Bush took the White House, he did so by losing the popular vote and having the US Supreme Court essentially declare him the winner a month before taking office. Trump won the Electoral College outright, but he lost the popular vote.

Both began their first 100 days trying to reassert their power in office against the backdrop of a politically divided nation. Bush signed only seven pieces of legislation in his first 100 days. Trump has technically signed 28 pieces of legislation into law, but none has been considered a major triumph.

Any 100 days comparison to Obama might be unfair

The easiest comparison for Trump is Obama’s first 100 days, but this history really isn’t a fair guide.

Yes, Obama was able to pass big legislative items like a stimulus plan, an auto bailout bill, and a fair pay act. But Obama had something that Trump doesn’t have: a national financial crisis. In the throes of the Great Recession, legislators knew the price of doing nothing would be much greater than passing bills, however imperfect.

This year? The economy is strong, albeit uneven. And compared to Obama’s time, at least, there is no immediate financial crisis. So far, many in Congress would rather cool their heels while they size up their new president.

Oh, believe me, he has accomplished more than you might think.

Thus far, his greatest achievement has been something no other politician could do. He has convinced a multitude of voters that he isn't a politician at all. A great many truly believe he is a complete political outsider. They're convinced that he's just like them, just a regular guy. After deeming Hillary, Cruz and Rubio untrustworthy liars, his supporters are not only okay with his lies, they believe it one of his greatest characteristics... they think his lies and policy ignorance are part of some greater strategy!

Maintaining the "Trump is just a regular American like me" lie, the "Trump is a highly successful business man" lie and the "Trump is the best man for the job because he's a successful D.C. outsider" lie have been his single greatest achievement of all.

His loyalists honestly think he's an outsider even despite the fact that he so obviously surrounds himself with highly influential, dynasty political operatives with political histories dating all the way back to the Nixon era. Open "new world order" proponents even, the very people his supporters fear most are the people he has hand selected to "make America great again" and they not only accept it, they defend it!

He may fail at policy, but make no mistake about it, he has succeeded where necessary to ensure his reelection, his voters are convinced that his greatest flaws are strengths, that his ineptitude is part of his "charm," that his inability to govern is really obstructionism on the part of entrenched politician, that he's not a politician at all and that his exploitation of the office for his own gain is just "smart business." That's more than most politicians could accomplish in their entire political career.

He managed to improve his golf game by a couple of strokes and membership fees at the winter white house increased by $200.000 per year. Cheers!
