Sure enough, the big Trans-Pacific trade deal is toast, climate change action is on the ropes and various regulations from the Obama era have been scrapped. It’s also a safe bet President Donald Trump hasn’t raced a bicycle since Jan. 20, keeping that vow.

    [so far]

  2. The first 100 days is an artificial and irrelevant milestone, as the President himself has said.

    Obama accomplished NOTHING in his first eight years.

  3. Obama is trying to accomplish one of his only thing which is to make money.

    Oh yeh. He’s getting paid 400k for opening the mouth he couldn’t close about Israel.
