In October 2016, before Donald Trump defeated Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, he outlined a plan of all the things he hoped to accomplish during his first 100 days in office.
But in the wake of failure and unfulfilled promises as his 100th day approaches, the president has changed his tune. Last week, he criticized the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, slamming the deadline in one sentence.

Here are the responses, which have been lightly edited for clarity and style:
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.)
President Trump has spent his first 100 days lying to the American people about issues both great and small, refusing to disclose his tax returns or address fears about his campaigns ties to Russia, struggling to advance a coherent foreign policy strategy and failing to guarantee affordable health coverage for all Americans ... #sad!
Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter
45 has proven to be one of the most dangerous human beings on the planet; we must resist his regime and build a movement in the millions.

Ben Cohen, activist and co-founder of Ben & Jerrys
Its clear now that Drain the Swamp really meant Suck up all the morally bankrupt billionaires, Wall Street executives, and special-interest pond scum, and then pump them into the White House with a fire hose.
Kathy Griffin, comedian
During the first 100 days, theres been never a better time to be a standup comic and never a scarier time to be a human on the planet of Earth.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
President Trumps first 100 days have been a disastrous parade of broken promises to working people, handouts to wealthy special interests, and deep damage to the health and economic security of Americas families.
There are some good quotes in this article.
Thanks for posting.
