President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he will hold a “BIG” rally on April 29 on the 100th day of his presidency, which he will likely reach with no notable pieces of legislation to his name.

“Look forward to it!” Trump tweeted.

Also taking place on April 29 is the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

In a tweet posted early Friday, Trump called the landmark date a “ridiculous standard.”

And in an interview on Friday with the Associated Press, he scoffed at the number, calling it “just an artificial barrier.”

Trump also appeared to suggest that, given his lack of previous political experience, his agenda’s progress — or lack thereof — shouldn’t be measured against the number of days he’s been in office.

“I’ve been here 92 days, but I’ve only been working on the health care, you know, I had to get like a little bit of grounding, right?” he told the Associated Press. “Health care started after 30 day(s), so I’ve been working on health care for 60 days.”

    Deliciously ironic piece, great use of juxtaposing his words, the tweets, and the date of the Correspondents’ Dinner. Well done Ms. Cribbs.

  2. One of his accomplishments.

    I think those who are still going to that idiot’s rally and cheering for his incompetence and danger he inflicts on us should be royally screwed.

    I mean, ONLY THEY should be screwed. Yeah, I really think so.

  3. Isn’t the election over?

    Darn. I bet it’s too late to make reservations to fly to wherever it is that they’re holding the big rally. And hotels–packed I bet.
    Rats.
