TRUMP’S FIRST 100 DAYS
President Trump’s First 100 Days
Guest Post by Scott Adams
Everyone observing politics seems to agree on two things about a president’s first 100 days in office:
1. 100 days is a meaningless, arbitrary marker for a president’s performance that is likely to be more misleading than useful.
and…
2. Let’s treat it like it is important! Reeeeeeee!
The thing that fascinates me the most about this situation is that the so-called “pro-science” people are giving Trump low grades for his first 100 days.
Allow me to connect some dots.
What Trump promised vs. what he accomplished in his first 100 days

President Donald Trump said last week the 100-day benchmark for evaluating new administrations is “ridiculous.” But it wasn’t that long ago that Trump himself laid out a 28-point “contract with the American voter,” outlining his goals for exactly that time period.
By his own standards — released in late October — the president’s record is a mixed bag. Yes, he’s fulfilled some pledges: he backed out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and saw Neil Gorsuch confirmed as a Supreme Court justice. But other plans remain unfinished or even abandoned: he declined to name China a currency manipulator, for example.

What Trump Needs To Focus On, In His “First 100 Days” Plan
Guest Post by Duane Norman
Just before the election, Trump revealed his plan for his first 100 days in office. I agree with most of it, disagree with some of it, but overall, I think he has excellent ideas to start his administration off, hope that he indeed ends up sticking to his pre-election plan, and also hope its release wasn’t pure election pandering.
However, there is one specific line item that he can and should focus on to start his term. It would be the best way to unite the entire country behind him, including those who hate him and are protesting against his victory, even some of the rich elites who campaigned for Hillary. It is a no-brainer idea that has been proposed by plenty of people in the past, and it just so happens to be the no.1 item listed on his agenda.
* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress
The amount of broad support that Trump would receive for this platform would be incredible, and it would come from both sides of the political aisle. Congress has had approval rating percentages in the teens for years, and American citizens are fed up with career politicians who have no real accomplishments as politicians outside of lining their own pockets.

Memo to Trump: ‘Action This Day!’
Guest Post by Patrick J. Buchanan
“In victory, magnanimity!” said Winston Churchill.
Donald Trump should be magnanimous and gracious toward those whom he defeated this week, but his first duty is to keep faith with those who put their faith in him.
The protests, riots and violence that have attended his triumph in city after city should only serve to steel his resolve.
As for promptings that he “reach out” and “reassure” those upset by his victory, and trim or temper his agenda to pacify them, Trump should reject the poisoned chalice. This is the same old con.
Trump should take as models the Democrats FDR and LBJ.
