I think Trump is doing a good job keeping as much promises as he can so far. People have to understand that Trump is up against extremely powerful, established forces whose agenda is the complete opposite of his. He can't just unilaterally take over power and do anything he wants to do, but every single day he is establishing himself further and further, gaining an increasingly amount of legitimacy and doing everything in his current power that he can do. His power struggle against the establishment is unfolding on a daily basis. As Qman noted in another thread, he, admittedly, hasn't done all that much in calling out establishment republicans like Ryan. He needs to. But congressional republicans were, up until he got his judge confirmed, his only ally in government. He has done some things so far though to signal that Ryan isn't an unquestioned ally. When Ryan came to him with healthcare legislation(RyanCare) and told trump it didn't have enough votes, trump told him to his face that he needs to kill the bill before the vote. He shut RyanCare down in a very public way. But he needs to do more. Trump, in my opinion, is engaging the power struggle with the establishment with a sort of strategic passiveness. He's playing with fire. And the fire he's playing with is raging. But eventually, slowly, it's going to get extinguished and I think Trump will ultimately win a second term and continue to MAGA. Everyone needs to calm down and let things unfold. He's only 100 days in, it's silly to chalk him up as a failure or a second obama or a success. So far he's done some things that I disagree with but he's also doing a lot of things I very much agree with. I think that goes for everyone who isn't just a complete partisan. It's premature to say anything other than let's see how it goes from here, and we'll see what happens in 2020.

What do you think of him saying that he thought it'd be easier to be president and easier then his previous life?

As a non-Trump non-supporter, I'd say it's absolutely insignificant/unimportant.

Well the abolishing of TTP, seems like a pretty good start.

Abolishing of TPP was good, except it was dead before Trump even was elected.

Thanks.

The gist I'm getting here, is that trump has basically achieved fuck all and will probably just tow the line until the next election.

In reality, what hope does any anti-establishment candidate really have of ever changing thing's?
