Poll: Grade trump on his first 100 days in office

[Deblano]

D+ only because I like some of his foreign policy moves. Everything else just ugh.

I also thought Gorsuch was a decent pick for SCOTUS even though I believe the GOP should have given Garland a proper hearing.

trump says on his 100th day in office ...

"I truly believe that the first 100 days of my administration, has been just about the most successful in our country's history."

OMG !
What a nut-job of a president we have.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Narcissism ... Narcissism. And a heavy dose of it, the president has. I'll keep repeating it.

"Blue ... Blue. The sky is blue. I'll keep repeating it."

How is F under 50%!?

[Brittain33]

I gave him a D because we aren't at war and haven't suffered a mass casualty event like 9/11 or Katrina. He'll be an F by 2021. The fact that he has crumbled in multiple situations prevents his worst impulses from destroying the country.

[Figueira]

How is F under 50%!?

I was being generous in giving him a C- because if I remember right, I expected the stock market to take a tumble following election night, and I expected us to be an even bigger embarrassment on the global stage. It's all perspective. But I don't really expect it to get much better.

Why grade him based on "expectations"?

People, he literally appointed someone who wants to abolish the EPA as head of the EPA. That should be enough to warrant an F.

[they don't love you like i love you]

F.

Arguing that an F should be reserved only for things like the Iraq War is absurd. In most grading systems, 59% is an F. 0% is also an F. Obviously there's a wide range in between those two, but both are Fs. Trump's score isn't (yet) as low as George W. Bush, but neither one is remotely close to a passing grade.

Atlas meets their college advisor:

"Why did you give me a zero?"

"You didn't hand anything in..."

"Err, I didn't set fire to the university, so that's a bit unfair"

How is F under 50%!?

I, for one, consider an F an indication of having been impeached and removed, resigning under pressure, being overthrown in a military coup, or  getting America into a war in which

(1) significant allies of the US are irretrievably overthrown (let us say North Korea conquers South Korea)

(2) significant territory of the US goes under permanent occupation, if not severance from the USA.

(3) an American city or a city of of a major ally of the US is nuked, or subjected to the destruction by conventional weapons as was Dresden, Hamburg, or Tokyo in the Second World War.

(4) American leadership commits crimes associated with Nazi Germany or Thug Japan in the Second World War or by Saddam Hussein or the Assad family at any time.

--or the appearance of a famine or an insurgency against the federal government.

That is a tough standard of failure.

I gave Nixon an F for cheating on the exam, so to speak. Without that cheat he might have gotten a high grade.

I gave only a D because we have yet to see a military disaster, a sex scandal, a resignation in disgrace, or an economic meltdown. I predict that I will have a D- for him when he is defeated in 2020 for substandard performance as President. Even if he does a few things right by accident Americans might not want him in 2020.

"F" is permanent. There is always some possibility that he changes his course... maybe he has an interview with the Pope or a centenarian Billy Graham and decides to follow Jesus Christ instead of Ayn Rand.  If he ends up doing some good that requires him to sacrifice some of his worst ways, then maybe he ends up with a C- or the like.      

[Devout Centrist]

Come on you pansies, F. Full stop.

[ApatheticAustrian]

achievements: F

liberal expectations: C

conservative expectations: D

trump voter expectations: F

[Kingpoleon]

B- because my expectations were so low.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

A.  The tweets knocked him down by a half grade.

What does the cake represent ?

Well, for one it's dirty and moldy, which may represent his horrible eating habits. Then there's the fact that he forgot that he bombed Syria (confused the country), but remembered the chocolate cake that he ate on the same date to great detail all in the same interview.

Ah OK.
I bet you are correct about the interview and trump remembering more about cake over Syria.
(I didn't even notice the cake being moldy. Strange the cartoonist added that.)

[Illiniwek]

D- because at least we aren't at war / there aren't militias marching down the streets or anything like that.

[Anti-Bothsidesism]

The grade that Trump really deserves: an F-.

His only clear wins to me are his SCOTUS pick Neil Gorsuch (although that seat was wrongfully stolen from Obama by McConnell and Co.) and getting us out of TPP.  The removal of us from the TPP was the only action I agreed with.

The real reason why he gets an F-: It's one terrible cabinet appointment after another (Sessions, Price, Mnuchin, Puzder, Carson, DeVos, et al.), several misguided, disastrous, and dangerous policy ideas (two Muslim Ban EOs held up in court, VOICE, deportation raids, #TrumpRussia scandal, approving KXL and DAPL, Obamacare repeal bill AHCA (aka Trumpcare)'s failures to get to a vote, ending the Obama trans schools directive, Bush-like excursions toward war on multiple fronts, et al.), repeatedly breaking promises that he campaigned on, wanton lying to the people, attacks on the freedom of the press, pushing inane conspiracy theories, pandering to racism and sexism, golfing and vacationing almost every weekend while he whined about Obama doing the same, and of course, his rampant corruption by adding more alligators to the swamp.

C-, better than pretty much any other powerful Republican would be

Rubio or Bush would have gotten some kind of Obamacare repeal done by now.
