Sunday Five Questions on Trump's first 100 Days in Office

Traditionally the first 100 Days a new President is in office is called the honeymoon.  The new administration is getting into place, learning their way around, the new Congress (with many of the same faces) is getting settled in and at times they have been nice to one another. In theory this should really be an easy time when the same political party is in charge of the Executive branch and Congress.  But, not always.  Not when there is deep division within the party, or when the new administration lacks a real plan.  

So Trump's first 100 days are over, what do you think? 

1: Trump promised to "drain the swamp in DC," do you think it is dryer or wetter in DC? 

2: Were you surprised when Trump didn't really have a plan fix the health care system in the United States and assure that EVERY American had better coverage for lower prices?  

3: One "success" in the first 100 days, and yes I know the Senate broke changed it's own rules to confirm him, was Judge Neil Gorsuch joining the Supreme Court.  Do you have hope that Gorsuch will be impartial? 

4: Who is your least favorite Presidential adviser? 

5: Do you think will last through his first term in office? 

My Answers: 
1: Trump promised to "drain the swamp in DC," do you think it is dryer or wetter in DC? 

I am astounded at the lack of understanding of conflict of interest, the ethics of this administration are bizarre, the Senate fucked with the rules to get the outcome they wanted on Judge Gorsuch, after nearly a year of refusing to even grant a hearing on a Supreme Court nominee.  The swamp is very much worse.  I am deeply disappointed, there was an opportunity for real change, but I am not surprised.  


2: Were you surprised when Trump didn't really have a plan fix the health care system in the United States and assure that EVERY American had better coverage for lower prices?  

I knew he didn't have the political capital to deliver what he promised, and I don' think he really had a clue how complex the issues are.  

3: One "success" in the first 100 days, and yes I know the Senate broke changed it's own rules to confirm him, was Judge Neil Gorsuch joining the Supreme Court.  Do you have hope that Gorsuch will be impartial? 

I listened to a couple of hours of the confirmation hearings and I am optimistic. His personal views are more conservative than I would like, but I truly think he will be a good judge.  

4: Who is your least favorite Presidential adviser? 

Without a doubt, Kelly Anne Conway - simply put she is the queen of alternative facts, she overtly promoted the President's daughter business on national television and failed to see that she did anything wrong. She is a bright and well educated woman, her acts are not stupidity, the acts are evil and self interest.   

5: Do you think will last through his first term in office? 

I don't think that he will.  He loves to win, and this is the toughest game he has ever played, and one he is ill prepared for, it would not surprise me if he went back to New York and said, send me what needs to be signed - I am done.  Maybe he stopped coloring his hair and tanning after winning, but he looks worse than he did when he was elected.  I think the demands of the job are taking a toll on his health (despite spending ever other weekend on the golf course in Florida.)  He has surrounded himself with people who don't understand the concept of ethics - he needs to be careful or they will take him down with them - and frankly we really don't need the distraction of an impeachment (or do we?)
