The Big 100 Myth

By Thornton Crowe

Mainstream Media and Liberals are making big hoopla over the first 100 days as if this is indicative of presidential success, but is it? Actual history would beg to differ.

Starting in 1933 with Franklin D. Roosevelt, this myth has continued throughout the decades as some kind of marker that every president must hit; however, the fact is, FDR's first 100 was largely overturned by the Supreme Court within his first term. This is the very reason why during his second term, he attempted his court packing - a move that fell flat and garnered much criticism.

History proves most of the First New Deal (and most of the Second New Deal) was overturned because it was unconstitutional; some initiatives came back but they were watered down version and largely ineffectual as many historians (and economists) will verify the New Deal actually extended the Great Depression an additional decade due to the on again/off again temporary employment offered by government projects. Very little had staying power which is what's need to build a healthy economy.

Like with most urban legends, the first 100 day marker was built on a misperception of what actually happened during FDR's first three months.

How's Trump Really Doing...

Unlike FDR, President Trump has been madly successful in his first 100. However, even with these fiscally sound achievements because healthcare and Border Wall haven't passed yet, the Media is having a field day, claiming he's somehow let us down and is a liar.

In reality, healthcare lays squarely on Paul Ryan's shoulders because the President doesn't control Congress; the Speaker is in charge of that negligent band of impotents. Second, regarding the Wall, its been funded since 2006 but everyone inside the Beltway has forgotten this fact, including our buddy Ryan. Surely, the Trump Administration is looking for ways to unlock those funds and put them towards what they were intended in spite of the Speaker.

All things considered - his enemies being everyone in the Democrat party, a lot of Republican establishment goons and the Media - Trump's first 100 has produced some stunning changes that many Americans have already begun to feel in their wallets and attitudes. Consumer confidence is up higher than it's been since 2001, the Tax Plan he proposes will bring more money to Middle America than we've had since Reagan's in 1982 and Wall Street has responded in kind. He's done this largely by dialing back on a lot of the business-raping regulations from the Obama era and started the wheels moving again in American Industry.

While his attempts to keep us safe via travel bans and monetary sanctions on sanctuary cities, have been temporarily halted by judicial activists in the Nineth Circuit, once on the Supreme Court level, those injunctions will be swiftly overturned. Why? Because both Executive Orders are within Presidential Purview and no judge can eradicate the president's abilities to govern as long as its within the scope of the US Constitution.

Additionally, Liberals would have you believe some fable that his initiatives will somehow bring about the end of the earth. Yet in spite of their cautionary tale of foreboding woe, since he took office, the sun still comes up in the East and sets in the West everyday without fail. Therefore, all the hysterical hyperbole has done nothing but make the Democrat Party look ridiculously irrelevant and out of touch with mainstream America.

The Real Problem..

Simply put, President Trump is here for the People. This thought terrifies Liberals and they've shown this fear through their behaviors since his election (as well as before.) He truly believes to his inner core in the America First policy. Apparently, he's not alone because 80% of the public agrees and wants him to succeed!

Bottom line: President Trump remembers who answers to: We the People.

How say you?
