http://www.mediaite.com/online/poll-how-would-you-describe-trumps-first-few-days-in-office/A lot has happened in Donald Trumps first few days as President.
He and his team have spent much of the last five days arguing against factual reports that say his inauguration attendance was relatively low. That has included two now-infamous press room appearances by Sean Spicer, one of which was furious and one of which was sad. Kellyanne Conway coined the phrase alternative facts, too. Beyond that, Trump lambasted the press during a speech at the CIA to which he brought his own cheering section, which reportedly left relations with the intelligence community in a pretty bad place and reportedly used a meeting with congressional leaders to repeat the false claim that millions of votes were cast illegally in last years election. He has signed a number of executive orders and held meetings with a variety of American companies and organizations.
That is a pretty solid stream of news.
We have to ask: How would you describe his first days in office?

"Disastrous" wasn't available, but "Awful" was close enough.
Jacob Boehme
(789 posts)2. How would you describe his first days in office?
As an unfolding catastrophe.
As an unmitigated disaster.
As a shit storm of apocalyptic proportions.

(27,843 posts)6. I basically agree, but...
it felt good to vote "Awful"!
I remember years ago when some station - must have been a Fox station - was seriously asking viewers to text in responses to a poll question. They had two going. One was whether or not we should invade Afghanistan. The other was whether Joe Torre should put in a relief pitcher in the Yankees' game. And these ran in sequence.
