How 2,000+ Americans Described the Trump Administration (in Two Words)

I recently asked readers of my Twitter account to describe the first 100 days of the Trump administration in two words. More than 2,000 readers responded, and while many of the responses were profane — and some didn’t quite follow the prompt — a trend among the replies was evident: Americans, or at least the 100,000 or so who follow my Twitter feed, have almost nothing positive to say about the current occupant of the White House.

Below I’ve listed several hundred of the responses I received to my query. Be warned: graphic language abounds here, and avid Trump supporters may find themselves repeatedly triggered.

Impeach him! Promises broken. Ugh, why? Apocalypse Now. Shit sandwich. Triple bogey. The fuck? Shit poodle. Bigly disaster. Global embarrassment. Too long. (Unintelligible) (unintelligible). Tremendously flaccid. Epic fail! You’re fired. Total shitgibbonry. Dystopian horror. Monetizing treason. Russian idiot. Hillary won. National embarrassment. High treason. Kleptocracy agenda. Overdue impeachment. President Nightmare. Must impeach. Malicious incompetence. Russia, mostly. Uncontrollable shitnado. American kleptocracy. Utterly clueless. Pee tape. International embarrassment. Fourth Reich. Volcano diarrhea. Grifter dynasty. Hate-filled squatter. Malignant mass. Waking nightmare. Embarrassing, terrifying. 100% failure. Daily insanity. As expected. Sleepless nights. Increased Xanex. Completely insane. Uniquely unqualified. Unprecedented failure. Total disaster. Orange plague. Deeply terrifying. Breathtaking incompetence. Trumptonian disaster. Epic failure. Malevolent incompetence. Diarrhea typhoon. Obamacare won. Putin’s puppet. Bigly inept.


What surprised me most about the responses I received is that none — as in literally none — assessed the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency positively.
