Fewer than 10 days out from the 100-day mark of his presidency, Donald Trump on Friday morning blasted the “ridiculous standard of the first 100 days.”

President Trump was likely looking to get out ahead of news stories analyzing what he has accomplished during his first 100 days, a benchmark on which many presidents have been assessed.

Already, outlets, including TPM, are publishing pieces noting that Trump has yet to achieve some of the goals he laid out for himself. The Washington Post on Thursday published a piece laying the goals Trump set for himself in his first 100 days, like cutting taxes and renegotiating trade deals. The Post noted that the President has yet to achieve those goals.

  1. What’s with this accountability thing anyway?

  2. Trump once again does the only thing he is good at; Moving the Goalposts at will.

    He insisted during the entire campaign that his “First 100 Days will be so much winning…” and now, 90 days in, he has been the very definition of an “abject failure” as President, so he attacks the meme itself.

    Typical.

  3. Yeah performance reviews suck, but you are just going to have to suck it up and deal, because you aren’t your own boss anymore. Welcome to the real world.

  4. Of course, it is Donald. ALMOST as ‘ridiculous’ as you lying every time you open your mouth about how much you have ALREADY accomplished. It is not the ‘medias’ fault or the Democrats fault or OBAMA’s! fault…it is because you and your possee are a bunch of rubes who ‘think’ you know everything when in reality you have no freakin’ CLUE how to govern.
