White House chief of staff Reince Priebus insisted on Sunday that President Donald Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises at “breakneck speed,” though Trump will likely reach his 100th day in office with no notable pieces of legislation to his name.
Speaking on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Priebus also claimed that “historical unbelievable obstruction” from Democratic senators is to blame for the hundreds of jobs throughout the federal government which Trump’s administration has not yet filled.
In fact, the White House has nominated only 24 people — 22 of whom have been confirmed — of 553 key appointments that require Senate confirmation, according to a Politico report published earlier in April.
Asked if the government will stay open, avoiding a funding shutdown, Priebus said: “I believe it will.” He said that the federal budget will be enough “to move forward through the end of September to get going on the border wall.”

TALKING about something--which he's done all his life in order to fool the marks--is the same as ACTUALLY DOING it, so of course he's wildly successful.
p.s. He just doesn't understand why the rest of America doesn't buy into his gold-plated verbiage the way his adoring supporters did during the campaign.
if what they mean is that he is wildly successful at deconstructing the US of A, then yeah, he's accomplished more than any other president that I can think of.
