Trump: My first 100 days 'just about the most successful' ever

President Trump on Friday touted the accomplishments of his first 100 days in office, calling his administration one of the "most successful" in history.

"My fellow Americans, I truly believe that the first 100 days of my administration has been just about the most successful in our country's history," Trump said during his weekly address. "Our country is going up, and it's going up fast."

Trump's comments echoed those he made earlier Friday at the White House, saying, "It's a false standard, 100 days, but I have to tell you, I don't think anybody has done what we've been able to do in 100 days."

Trump has seen historically low approval ratings in the early days of his administration and faced several setbacks on his agenda. Republicans are still looking for a way to repeal ObamaCare after a legislative defeat last month, and courts have halted Trump's executive orders dealing with immigrants and refugees.

No one would accuse the man who served as George W. Bush’s first presidential speechwriter of being a liberal. Still, David Frum has been a vocal and powerful critic of President Trump, both for his many conflicts of interest and his total lack of preparedness for the job of Commander-in-Chief.

Today’s report that Trump thought the job of being President would be “easier,” and that he missed his old life, seems to have set Frum off. .........

pissing off the the leaders of all our allies
fracturing the Republican Party
having a record number of executive orders systematically blocked by the judicial system
spending unprecedented millions on golfing vacations
appointing the most unqualified people to head governmental agencies
engaging in a level of nepotism that would make the mob cringe
and...
having so many conflicts of interest financially no one even knows where to start to unravel them
then yes, it's been most successful.
