Trump Administration a failure so far.

[Tapeworm]

Doom agrees.  Trump's Interim report card to date:

Travel ban 1.0... F
Travel ban 2.0... F
Declare China a currency manipulator on day one... F
Repeal the Affordable Care Act... F
Replace the Affordable Care Act... F
Build that wall... Incomplete
End the war in Iraq... F
Lock her up... F
Defeat ISIS... Incomplete (leaning toward F)
Stop North Korea.... Incomplete (leaning toward F)
Exit NATO... (reversed position) F
Exit NAFTA... F
Fill positions requiring Senate confirmation... Incomplete (leaning toward D)
Fill Supreme Court vacancy... A
Overhaul the tax code... Incomplete (leaning toward F)
Bring back manufacturing jobs... Incomplete (leaning toward F)

Grade: F+

Assessment: His entire legislative agenda (not moving fast to begin with) has now been put on hold while the Senate investigates... the House investigates... and Mueller investigates.  Each of these investigations could easily take 1-3 years.  Worst of all, the administration's wounds are self inflicted.  This will not end well.

Bah!

Ow.

There needs to be an 'out on yer ear' clause when an elected official fulfills zero campaign promises.  A 'State of My Ass' vote or something.

How the fuck are you gonna get elected based on the shit you promised and then do none of it or even do the opposite, and there's no consequence at all for that.  Sounds like kind of an imperfect system.  Said it b4, bears repeating: 'Representative democracy' is a sham.

He's not the only offender, of course.  Obama was awful for it.  The worst up to his time, far as I can tell, or maybe I was just paying more attention.  But so far I have President Pillowpants in the lead Big Time.

Chances I'll be eating my words later, as of this post: 1.4%.  Come on, Donald.  I'm hungry.

TA I agree we have tons of people but for advanced degrees we are lacking. We lack physicians in under-served communities. New York has thousands of surgeons while podunk, TX may have one doc covering three counties. We need educated, motivated individuals willing to work and assimilate. Nothing ticks me off more than people who come here and refuse to embrace our language and culture. TA as far as the uneducated worker, I'm cool with a moratorium but will Americans do the same job as current illegals at a reasonable rate.

Will they work for almost nothing, since other parts of the world are such miserable shit?

Why should they have to?

This is awesome!

capitalism?

The problem with using that simple word as an excuse, of course, is that it reveals incentive for the wealthiest clans to keep the world in turmoil.

Oh, wait.

Man, if you just look at it like this, you really have to find it a little difficult to say he's doing a good job don't you?

Sheesh.

I guess you could say he's got a B+ for rounding up illegals. That may move the average up a hair, but probably not out of F range.

The White House’s absolutely brutal night, in six headlines.

For any president, one of these headlines would be very bad news. For President Trump, they all came in a span of 12 hours:

“Justice Department to appoint special counsel to oversee probe of Russian meddling in 2016 election”
“House majority leader told colleagues last year: ‘I think Putin pays’ Trump”
“Flynn stopped military plan Turkey opposed — after being paid as its agent”
“Trump Team Knew Flynn Was Under Investigation Before He Came to White House”
“Israeli Source Seen as Key to Countering Islamic State Threat”
“Trump campaign had at least 18 undisclosed contacts with Russians — sources”

Birther says what?   

[The True Adonis]

Because Republicans are stupid.  They have to be the most inept party ever at this point.  They hate Trump and they also have no ideas of their own.  Trump also forgot how to be a populist and go beyond them and ask everyone on all sides for help.

Its not going to end well if this continues.

[Ruffian]

Why dont you tell us? Republicans control congress, its his DOJ, Repubs and Dems are investigating his campaign. Most of his wounds are self inflicted. I dont know how he isnt getting anything done? Maybe too much twitter?

[Mclovin]

Ok if ur going to make such a blanket statement for the whole world, why not back it up with some facts not the Huffington Post or Politico. I am waiting with bated breath. BTW dipshit, say what you will about American medicine but we are universally known to provide the best care. Ask rich Canadians who fly down to the states for surgery. Go to MD Anderson and watch all the foreigners with suitcases of cash coming to get the best cancer care in the world. Idiotic blanket statements like yours just reinforce the stupidity of the left. At least TA is intelligent and argues his points well.

Name another first world country without universal coverage? Or name a political party in a non-US first world country that doesn't support universal care. I'm not being a smartass...I'm just asking you because I'm not aware of any, but maybe I'm wrong. And yes, the US does have great healthcare if you can afford it, so I won't argue that. But what about those that can't afford it? You know telling them to go to the emergency room doesn't solve anything because everyone else just ends up paying it anyway. And what about the fact that we spend more on healthcare as a percentage of GDP than any other country by far? Despite what conservatives like to say about countries like Canada or U.K., everyone I've spoken to from there would much rather have their system than ours. Why do conservatives think free markets will solve healthcare? Health insurance is not an ordinary good and shouldn't be treated like one. In your typical free market, companies want you as their customer and they try to attract you away from the competition through superior value, better customer service, lower prices, etc. The problem is if you are a 50 year old with a history of cancer, the health insurance companies really don't want you as a customer and definitely aren't going to fight over you through lower premiums, better benefits, etc. So if you take away that basic tenant of capitalism...that companies want you as their customer...the rest falls apart. Don't get me wrong... I think capitalism is great and is the primary driver of improving living conditions throughout the world, but there are just some industries where it doesn't solve everything...prisons and healthcare especially in my opinion.

Wrong...while they're both useless, the left more useless than the right, he's been asking for help only it falls on deaf ears. The left, right, media are all fighting him tooth and nail. How does anyone expect him to get anything done with that bullshit? Most of his policies have been solid and mostly conservative, the reason why he was elected in the first place. People were tired of the same Washington bullshit and failing policies. He's doing waay better than what the left and left media are portraying.

With What?

The Healthcare bill?

Name one other thing that Trump has asked for help with?

Hell, name ANYTHING he's "asked for help" with. Trump doesn't ask for help. He thinks everyone should do whatever he says.

You do realize that if he came out tomorrow for single payer, he'd have the entire democratic party on his nuts and there wouldn't be shit they could do about it.

He's actually not doing anything more than tweeting at 3am. That's really all he does is tweet and golf.

You know this, but you are trying so desperately hard to back his play that you are ignoring the truth that's right in front of your face.

Harsh?  Really?  Fool!  These are not random criteria; these were things he specifically said he would do/accomplish in very short order.  Save for filling the Supreme Court vacancy, none of them have happened.  Even Pence expected/expects Trump to implode:

“When I agreed to run on the ticket with him, I said to myself, ‘Mike, after he’s been in the White House for a few weeks, he’ll be a total train wreck and you’ll be able to slide into the big-boy chair,’ ” Pence said. “I never in a million years thought he’d last a hundred days. My best guess was thirty.”

The former Indiana governor said that, with such seemingly fatal missteps as Trump’s failed health-care plan and travel bans, as well as any number of unhinged outbursts, “It feels like I’ve come close to getting in there maybe ten or twelve times. But close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.”

Calling the past hundred days “the longest hundred days of my life,” Pence said that he has no choice now but to “sit and wait for my moment.”

“I’m a man of faith, and I believe that the Lord has a plan for me,” he said. “But if another hundred days come and go and I’m still not President, you are going to see one pissed-off Mike Pence.”

By any measure, this is utter failure . . . and it has all happened in what should be Trump's best moment: the honeymoon.  His political capital will only go down from here.

Bah!
