First 100 Days

Trump says his first 100 days were the best ever by anyone; in his own mind maybe. Someone posted online that William Henry Harrison had a better first 100 than Trump, and he was dead for 69 of them. In all fairness I will state that the 100 day mark is a ridiculous standard but he did set the mark himself. ISIS was to be defeated in 30 days; didn’t happen. The wall between Mexico and US was to be under construction; it’s off the table for now.

Obamacare was to be repealed and replaced; they’ve only put forth a joke of a health-care plan and if by some stretch of the imagination it passed, they would be exempt from it; why, is it that bad? Both his travel bans have been blocked in the courts and he’s signed a record Executive Orders that only help the rich and put America in jeopardy. He did get Judge Gorsuch confirmed but they had to bend the rules to do it.

His tax plan is just another retelling of the trickle-down theory that has never worked. They try to make us believe that if the rich get to keep more of their money they’ll be able to hire more workers and pay them more. The only thing the rich will do with more money is keep it in their wallet. And not any of them will admit that all it will do is add to the national debt. What truly works is the trickle-up plan. Give every taxpayer plenty of money and it will be in the hands of the rich by the next day.

Trump held a rally in PA so he could avoid the Correspondent’s Dinner in DC. Obviously, he didn’t want to be roasted by the media (and rightly so) for his calling them nothing but fake news. He surrounded himself with delusional voters who still think he is doing a great job and are willing to stroke his ego. Try a rally in California and see how that goes.

He said in an interview that he thought the job would be a lot easier and he missed the way things were. I suppose he thought he’d just be King and he’d snap his fingers and things would get done. NOT. Congress moves at a much slower pace than corporate America does. Nothing gets done in a hurry in DC unless they vote themselves a raise.

That’s my opinion and you’re stuck with it.
