100 Days of Rain

Well whaddya know, we've just about reached the mark for Trump's 100th day in office, and we're still here to talk about whats gone on in those 100 days. If Trump were to receive a report card it would read: "Incomplete", because not a single thing had been seen through to completion. At this point, discussing the status or effectiveness of our national government has become a conundrum with infinite magnitude. The most accurate way I can find to describe the current status of our government is simple : 1 child, a roomful of toys, no chaperone. The child will typically spend more time pulling toys out, than putting toys away, resulting in a huge mess, and an extended version of the clean up song. Our Government is the child, domestic and international affairs are the toys, and we're left singing the clean up song while we put the pieces back together.

In Trump's first week in office, the country was hit with a barrage of extremely controversial executive orders that were thrusted into action with the stroke of a pen. Initially, he made good on his promise to initiate the building of "THE WALL". He made bold statements, incited an array of emotions, and demonstrated complete ignorance on the importance and necessity of positive international relations. While there continues to be talk of the wall's construction, it's definitely been pushed further down the agenda; Incomplete.

Then we dealt with the travel ban. Another stroke of the pen and BAM!, ALL persons from now 6 Muslim countries are barred from entering the country. We're all sitting there like "This can't be real!", but it was, and still is. Fortunately, we have some authoritative law-degree holders, aka judges, who were able to pause Trump's order a restore some order to a overwhelmed country.

The one thing Trump completed: DAPL. Yep, the one thing this guy was able to do was the one thing everyone wanted him not to. Trump approved the construction of the DAPL, undoing months of successful petitioning and protest by various groups and individuals across the country, causing more conflict between the real people of this country and the uneducated robots also known as, "Trump supporters." (SORRY, NOT SORRY)

Then we have Neil Gorsuch, approved to the Supreme Court by way of the "Nuclear Option". Literally, we did away with standard operating procedure and completely undermined the purpose and fairness of government, in literally the strongest governing entity our country offers. Right after that we bombed Syria and basically flipped the bird at the chance of World War III. Now we're clowning N. Korea to the point that they're attempting missile tests almost daily to prove they're a threat to American society and shouldn't be the laughing stock of International Warfare and Weapons development.

Obviously we could go on and on discussing Trumps actions and shortcomings. As I mentioned in my previous entry, I feel we've been especially fortunate to experience incomplete affects of Trump's signature on executive orders. But our being fortunate doesn't at erase or diminish the fact that he's basically completed NOTHING WORTHWHILE IN 100 DAYS!
