Trump will actually claim he's done more in his 100 days than anyone since FDR

Joy Reid? @JoyAnnReid 25m25 minutes ago
Just got hold of the claims the Trump team plans to make re his 1st 100 days. They plan to say he's accomplished more than FDR. Seriously.

Trump will crow about something Repubs used to hate: executive orders. Literally the NUMBER of them, to claim he's greater than FDR:

than any President in my memory. It is not the fact that he has signed so many executive orders, but the fact that they have been so harmful for people and our environment. The quantity is irrelevant.

...I'd wager the entirety of them are measures taking something away from people, rather than anything actually assisting the average American.

...like letting coal mine owners put chemicals into the creeks and water beds downstream from the coal mines, and not being charged with any penalties legally.

Yeah, he's about to break the record but it is not helping the people.

He hasn't been indicted, arrested or impeached in his first 100 days.

For a foreign agent, this is a remarkable achievement.

Like every con man, he is trying to represent his staged signings as meaningful, especially since he has tried hard to sign more than any other president. The signing statements have already been analyzed and shown to be mostly bullshit (signing to create studies, for example).

I'm also not taking his administration's word that he has "enacted" (as opposed to "tried to enact&quot 28 law, unless I see a list of these passed laws.

Looks like more of "I'm the bestest," based on "I have a bigger number" -- sound familiar after his longstanding arguments about inaugural crowd size and popular vote numbers? He can't bear to be lower than number one, so he makes shit up.

His WH staff gave him a participation award for tweeting about legislation. But they couldn't give him a "works well with others" grade because of the same tweets.
