Trump’s First 100 Days

The first 100 days, the Times declared, is a period the president “might prefer to forget”.

The TPC was working off a plan from the Trump campaign that was thin on details.

Mnuchin said the proposed overhaul would amount to “the biggest tax cut” and the “largest tax reform” in USA history. The “Contract” was a single piece of paper.

The Trump administration isn’t really responsible for the slow growth yet.

The Trump plan would also limit the number of individual brackets to three, but at rates of 10, 25 and 35 percent, Cohn announced Wednesday.

Consider this: The single, large-scale accomplishment of the Trump administration to date is the nomination and confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.

A new episode of The Simpsons reveals Donald Trump’s hair to be a small dog. A strong majority of North Carolina voters, 73% believe President Trump’s use of Twitter has been inappropriate.

For instance, during his campaign, Trump talked tough on trade, vowing to slap punitive tariffs on companies that move production offshore and on countries that undercut USA goods. The most significant of those is his pledge to “suspend immigration from terror-prone regions”. He signs an executive order on aluminum imports at 2:00 p.m., and visits Veterans Affairs at 4:30 p.m. where he signs executive order on whistleblowers Trump tells Mexico and Canada the U.S. His first try was botched, while the second try will likely survive judicial scrutiny.

Hillary Clinton would have encouraged more places to become “sanctuary cities” to welcome illegal aliens and frustrate federal efforts to deport those who commit crimes.

The released boasted the President was “getting government out of the way” and claimed Mr Trump “has done more to stop the government from interfering in the lives of Americans in his first 100 days than any other President in history”. Some promises Trump has openly chosen to break.

Since the beginning of the year, the Labor Department says, the USA has created 533,000 jobs. “It’s probably going to end up being, in the end. a Republican-only exercise”, John Thune said in the same story. Still, unless the “Trump effect”, which is mostly psychological, is supported by solid policy measures, the economy will continue to falter.

Here’s an overview of what Trump has done so far and how he fares on PolitiFact’s Trump-O-Meter, which tracks more than 100 promises he made on the campaign trail.

A pass-through isn’t taxed under the corporate code.

Cohn said Trump and his administration recognize they have to be “good stewards” of the federal budget. While the USA economy is still living in the Obama-era reality, the tax reform, a change in the country’s approach to foreign trade, and the higher infrastructure spending planned by the Trump administration might take too long to come into effect, resulting in the economy losing its momentum. The CRA bills have sometimes been left out of assessments of Trump’s record on Capitol Hill. What about his missile attack on Syria?

Gasoline prices in North Korea are on the rise as its major trading partner China has taken a tough stance towards Pyongyang to force the regime there to come to the negotiating table.

Where Trump has truly made his mark is foreign policy.

But he rose to the occasion and worked with a cooperative Democratic majority in Congress to lay the foundations for the New Deal, a group of government programs that, along with World War II, brought America out of the Great Depression. Nonetheless, he delivered an address to a joint session of Congress on the eve of his 100th day mark, making an argument for cutting taxes and curbing inflation. That will require passing complex plans like business tax reform and health care legislation to replace the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. Congress still has to write and pass a bill. In today’s atmosphere and party alignments, Trump will do well to get one big thing passed.

The policy news flying out of Washington is head spinning, but Trump’s political enemies are the same old collection of media properties and out-of-touch liberals.
