Trump has done more than Obama did in years: #tellusatoday
Readers react to President Trump’s 100-day benchmark in office.
This weekend President Trump reached his 100-day benchmark in office. Facebook comments are edited for clarity and grammar:
One hundred days? Feels like 100 years. Maybe Trump’s best is yet to come, but considering how bad it is now, that’s not saying much. Worst president ever. I doubt he’ll make it to the end of his first term.
— Ray West
Against the Democrats’ odds and their cabal of opposition to Trump, he has succeeded. Trump has done more in 100 days than President Obama did in eight years.
— Nathan Smith
I have never seen so much flipping and flopping in my entire life. What Trump says today, he changes tomorrow. Lies and propaganda coming and going won’t help.
— Walter Lampton
100 days of Trump selling his presidency: Our view
If you’re not happy with Trump’s first 100 days, try to imagine the mess that Hillary Clinton would have done in this time!
— David Knoll
Trump ridiculed Obama for his extensive use of executive orders, yet he already surpassed him. Only one of his actions has any real significance: the nomination of Justice Neil Gorsuch and, ironically, that was only achieved with Senate Republicans changing the rules so a simple majority was needed for the confirmation!
Trump has accomplished no legislative achievements.
— Jim Harron
Trump gets a B+, which will turn into an A when the wall business is put to rest and Obamacare is repealed.
— Anna DeMarinis
These Republican fascists have legislated nothing — and the only thing they have achieved is revealing their malodorous thinking.
— Mike Muoio
I have seen worse presidents in my life, look at the last three. Trump gets a B+; health care rollback isn’t as big of a deal to me, but it matters.

We asked our followers to grade President Trump’s first 100 days in office. Tweets are edited for clarity and grammar:
I would give him an F. Trump basically governs by executive order, not legislation. He flip flops and divides us instead of trying to unite us.
— @northkats
I give him an 85, a solid B. He continues to fight animosity from those that did not vote for him, hindering his progress with legislative initiatives.
— @JerseyAttitudes
A big, fat F. Trump’s a liar and a cheat. Making money off the government while president.
— @TeddyCharlie
Meaningless, made-up date to give pundits something to talk about. I’ve never witnessed a legacy developed in 100 days.
