Day 100: 100 days worse off

Today marks 100 days with Trump in charge. The White House Correspondent's dinner is currently happening, which Trump is not attending (a break in over 30 years of tradition). Instead, he's had another of his campaign-style rallies to make him feel good, where he primarily railed against the media.

In 100 days analyses:

• Trump had published a detailed plan for his accomplishments in his first 100 days. A thorough analysis suggests he has partially accomplished just three of the 30 concrete promises.
• Trump wrote himself a glowing op-ed to mark the occasion. I could refute just about every statement, but let me just attack the first paragraph: Trump has done NOTHING to hand power back to "the people". He has done a lot to rescind regulations to hand power back to large corporations who will use that freedom to exploit "the people".
• The White House published a list of "accomplishments". Most of these "accomplishments" were the House and Senate using procedural tactics to roll back Obama regulations, nothing more. The raw number of signatures belies the fact that most of those signatures were not worth the paper they were printed on.

Essentially, the guy has accomplished nothing other than to take advantage of situations that the House and Senate leaders have set up for him (eg, Supreme Court nomination). This is a failed administration.

Otherwise, there were climate change rallies across the country, with tens of thousands marching against the administration's policies. It was even a nice day for it. Of course, the night before this march, the EPA website was scrubbed of all offending climate data.
