TAKEI: "And on the 100th day..."

Trump still accomplished nothing,
but he looked around, decided things were good, and went for a round of golf.

Wash Post reporter: Trump asked us to run electoral map on front page



A Washington Post reporter says President Trump asked the newspaper to run the 2016 electoral map on the front page to mark his 100th day in office.

The Post's White House Bureau Chief Philip Rucker on Friday said that Trump pulled out a copy of the map during an interview this week and asked for it to be included on the front page alongside the interview story.

"He brought out the map, he said, 'Aren't you impressed by this map?' " Rucker told MSNBC's Chris Hayes.


"He encouraged me to take it home to my colleagues at the Washington Post and try to run it on the front page of our newspaper. I think he was sort of playing there, but it speaks to the pride that he has in that map."

I feel kind of dumb Trump voter admits being bamboozled by candidates progressive-ish rhetoric

‘I feel kind of dumb, honestly’: Trump voter admits being ‘bamboozled’ by candidate’s ‘progressive-ish’ rhetoric

..........DeFrain says he now regrets his vote.

“I feel like I was bamboozled. I really do,” DeFrain . “Jeez, he fooled me, and I kinda feel dumb. I feel mad and I kinda feel dumb, honestly.”

According to DeFrain, Trump’s presidential pitch sounded, “Progressive-ish.”

“He was really open, willing to work with both sides of the fence
,” DeFrain continued.”Then more Russian stuff started piling up, he’s saying he’s being wire-tapped, he’s on Twitter says this about this person….”

For DeFrain, the real deal-breaker was Trump’s missile attack on Syria and his saber-rattling at North Korea
