Let's see. Stock market down, inflation up, dollar down and zero (at least significant) trade deals. Yup, going great. I'm giving him an F. Couldn't realistically be worse.

Peace coming in Ukraine is a stretch. Trumps "deal" is so bad for Ukraine that they have decided to not take it. And Putin's response to the "deal" is to keep bombing. 

Committed is also a stretch. There have definitely been promises made, but I would like to see promises kept.

On the flip side. 

No President in modern times has had a worse performing stock market. And this poor performance is of Trump's creation. He cannot blame anyone else for this (though he certainly will).

Inflation expectations are higher than they have ever been as a direct result of the impending impact of tariffs, and Trump's lack of foresight to stock pile before starting a trade war. That implies that there was any planning at all. There clearly has been none, and this is all whim.

As a result, Trump's approval rating after 100 days is the lowest in 80 years.

Whose approval?

Just snatched headlines from cnn.   I think trumps approval rating is higher than the 36 ball Biden posted at the end…. So somehow the world is ending and trumps approval rating is higher than the vegetable.

Trumps approval is the lowest in 80 years and it’s still 15 points higher than Dems are right now

Ummmmmm the stock market in 2022 was the worst it’s been since 2008.

Ummmmm YOUR COMMENT said no president in modern times had a worse performing stock market. Which was of course Is a lie.  Biden had the Dow 6000 points worse than it reached this year.

The Ummmmm thing is tired.

The thread I commented on was about the first 100 days. That is what I was commenting on. Now that I have clarified (twice) perhaps you can stop pretending it is about something else.

100 days doesn’t seem like a window to measure long-term trends. The tariffs started 26 days ago. Trillions of announced investments in US jobs and manufacturing don’t turn into results overnight. Get back to work.

But there are 3,000 articles and news stories commenting on it that way on cnn…. 
 

remember the days of the Vikings saying stop getting your info from Fox News ?   This is the inverse of that.

Stopping illegals at the border is a good thing.

Not being impeached is a good thing.  It is an R house so he won't be impeached for 2 years unless he really screws up. 

Addressing DEI is a good thing.   Why would anyone be against hiring the best person becauir they are the best person?   If we say we are hiring based on skin color or gender, not merit, then we admit we are not hiring the best.   There is no reason why people of color or women cannot be the best.   Don't we want the best to fly our airplanes, control our airspace, drive our busses, etc?  Seems imminently obvious.

But we can all agree he made it 100 days without being impeached.  Even rv must surely admit that is a huge achievement!

Whatever suits their narrative I guess.  Ignore the other facts like the Dow under Biden in 2022 was 6000 points lower than it has been under Trump in his first 100 days.
