What mark would you give Trump for his first 100 days?
 
The biggest impediment has been Paul Ryan. He should have had bills lined up like freight cars before Trump was sworn in.

Second problem is I wished Trump could have found a Chief of Staff as capable as Rahm Emmanuel. Preibus was a is weak choice, IMO to mollify the republican rank and file.
 
I would give him a D, and that only because he was able to get his SCOTUS Nom through. Otherwise he has had the most ineffective first 100 days in decades.
 
Imagine if Mrs. Clinton won, wow we would have either Barrack Obama or Eric Holder on the Supreme Court.
For that alone Trump has to be rated a B. Add the fact that Trump has been the first president since Eisenhower
to dramatically reduce illegal immigration. The Socialist Progressives, may want higher living standards, but they are not nationalistic.
You cant achieve higher living standards unless you slam the door shut on alien populations, who, by and large, consume a lot more than they contribute.
The worst grade a reasonable participant in any survey should rate him is a B!

That's tough for someone on my political side of the aisle to say, because I'm really glad he's done so badly in achieving his goals. That said, his emotional and intellectual instability has turned out to be far more troubling than I could have predicted. He's a much worse President than I thought he would be, which has been both beneficial and awful at the same time.
 
Sorry doesn't cut it, DA60.

But there isn't a Mrs. Clinton, so...oh well. Guess you gotta judge Trump on his own merits.

If my experience with Jredbaron96 is anything to go by, I believe he was saying that "sorry" as his own reaction doesn't cut it.
 
C. He's scared illegal immigrants, which is fantastic, but he's still processing DACA applications, which is infuriating. I want to see more deportations, especially of those who steal SSN's and collect benefits.

This is a fantastic point. I wonder how much could be done if Republicans were capable of anything other than being a nice controlled opposition.

He scared illegal immigrants by scaring people of Latino descent, which has had a chilling effect on legal Americans of Latino descent in general.

So imagine if a President consistently demonized white Christians to the point of that no white Christians immigrated to the United States. Okay, so those white Christians aren't coming here, but now you have a whole bunch of white Christians here at home who are legal citizens and scared because the White House has done nothing but make them to be the country's scapegoats for two years straight.

Now if you're a horrible racist, that's fine. But if you're not, then you'll appreciate that scaring away the illegal immigrants had a pretty awful price.

I'm Cuban. I'm not scared.

Btw, this whole "Latino" concept is such a ruse. Latin Americans generally hate each other, and they're ethnically very different.

Boehner and Ryan are unable to get the troops to agree on anything. That seems to have been a constant since the tea party got in in 2010. They can agree on "NO", but that isn't a policy.

Say what you want about Pelosi, and I'm no fan, but she was capable of lining up the votes.
 
He hasn't pushed-through any legislation, so he's pretty much na F there.

I don't agree with most of his EOs, so that's a D at best there.

His demeanor, personality, intellectual understanding, and functionality strike me as F-!

And his cabinet pretty much sucks, so maybe a D there though I might Fail him there too.

I don't like his SCOTUS pick, but admit it may have been a workable compromise. So, I'll give him his highest grade there, a C.

--

In actuality, all I like from him is his immigration EOs, his H1B EO, and the fact he told the parties to ****-off and did it without them!

Therefore his overall grade from me = D.

I would give the Cabinet a D because of Mattis and McMaster, but DeVos and the nut running the EPA pull them all into F- territory. Garbage disposal worthy.
 
Being entirely objective Trump deserves an "A."

He has created conversation and has inspired political thought. If you disagree with his policies than hopefully that motivates groups to act instead of relying on others.

Trump's job is to be the historic president and change America. So far the results have been sterling. In order to change policy, you need to change behavior first. If Trump causes a reaction, he's delivering on what he promised.

They're scare of a state that has turned them into a giant point of contention for the rest of the country. The chilling effect this has had has been their reluctance to respond to census surveys, and calls to the police to report crimes have already decreased which means they're now officially more afraid of the state than they are of the criminals in their communities. It's funny how, historically speaking, demonizing an entire people tends to make them jittery. Again, if you're a horrible human being then this is all a very fine thing, and possibly even quite funny to you.

I must respectfully disagree.

Trump is putting fear into illegal immigrants, which I believe is a good thing.

If that is indeed disproportionally affecting those of Latino descent, logic dictates it could be because those of Latino descent might have higher levels of illegality.

But the EOs target status, not a specific ethnic or national group. All nationalities are affected, and this has been also occurring to those of my wife's former Asian nation.

Or maybe they're not buying the "it's just illegal immigrants" line.
