Silly. If Trump is “drowning” we should all drown. He has accomplished more than any pres since FDR in 100 days, almost single-handedly.
Can’t wait for the next 1000.
Difficult to tell which political party is killing itself faster—DemoncRATS or RINOs.
Trump is doing just fine 100 days in.
You must not be paying attention.
Also, you forgot to flag this as a vanity.
One roadblock after another. What to do?
Understand where you’re going with this and why...we’re all frustrated with Congress at this point...will be interesting to watch this play out over the next few months...given that, I’ll still take the first 100 days overall...I believe the tax package will be passed and the enforcement of our immigration laws will continue to ramp up, including building the wall! I’m concerned about the trajectory on Healthcare as well, but I also believe it may just take more time than anyone realized...

Over $3 billion from lobbyists controlling the agenda of the establishment in congress. The root of the problem:

Paul Ryan needs to be replaced as first on the obstructionist list!
The whole ‘100 days’ thing is utterly silly.
This is one of the dumbest and uninformed opinion speeches I’ve ever read here. You should go back to lurking before everybody realizes how ignorant you are.
You chose the wrong audience to which address. Return to Sender, Address Unknown.
I posted here, on January 20, that Trump had “only a few months, six at most” to decide whether or not to run his own candidates for 435 House seats and the 34 Senate seats up for election in 2018.
The GOP as a national party has died - it just hasn’t fallen over yet. If Trump doesn’t want to fall with it, it’s time to get moving on the replacement.
I’m glad you identify the problem as progressives in the Repubican party. That really is the biggest problem. Progressives are more in agreement with each other than with any party. Republicans progressives are just a wing of the Democrat party, they just call themselves Republican because of where they come from or what they were during Reagan or for family or historical reasons. They disagree with Democrats on some things—the tax rate or military spending, and so they politely argue with them.
They oppose with all their heart conservatism, nationalism, American culture, freedom of religion, morality, strict construction of the constitution and the rule of law, and in general, protection of our common heritage as Americans. They want to create some kind of hodge podge of the globalist agenda on our land that they believe will lead to a global unification under their leadership and Americans, those who are descended from the founders or who came later and assimilated, are a problem for them. They are deluded.
People like Ryan go to DC as conservatives and become progressives in order to advance. When they get to the top, they are part of the system and fight to retain it.
I just finished reading the Amity Shlaes biography of Coolidge, and it is striking how similar the political situation faced by Coolidge was to that faced by Trump. Senators described in that book could be identical to those today. Coolidge faced the original progressives, people who were Republicans who bought into progressive ideas about technocracy, big government, management of the people, public works, education. He had a big majority, but had to maneuver around the progressives in his own party as much as the Democrats. It even talks about how only a couple decades earlier, Cleveland had been a fiscal hawk for the Democrats, and now Coolidge had to convince Republicans that lower taxes was good for the economy. I highly recommend the book to anyone who wants to see how another president worked through a similar situation.
“Drowning”? I don’t think so. He is doing quite well thank you.
If he's smart, Trump will begin targeting these so-called "progressive Republicans" and hold rallies in their districts to campaign for primary candidates to replace them. The strategy will have to be to replace the obstructers in 2018 so that Trump can build enough of a coalition in Congress to break the logjam.
He should begin doing this now, if only to put the fear of Cantor in everyone.

No, not Trump drowning.
WE AMERICANS ARE DROWNING.
The leftist cabal who runs the country is using us, and has been for a very long time. They have bought up our politicians and they let someone play President if he is on their side or can be brought around to it, for the price of a life of riches and 8 years of feeling very important.
Trump saw it happening, like some of us do. He thought MAYBE he could do something about it.
When he won, the cabal (our enemies foreign and domestic) knew there was one thing they would have to do, or they would be wiped out of this continent. MAKE MOST AMERICANS HATE TRUMP.
Sadly, it just wasn’t very hard. Joe Q. Public knows that the worst thing in the world is racism and xenophobia. Avoiding being called a racist or a something-phobe is of the utmost priority, and it is worth being a slave the rest of your life. HOW DID THE CABAL GET US TO HAVE THIS PRIORITY?
Easy. They own the media and academia. We learned this. We are good students and we don’t want to be mocked. We now would rather be serfs to an enemy cabal than have our Constitutional and Gd-given freedoms. Gd? Who is He? Must be some evil white guy, right?
Game is not over yet. And we have truth on our side. We need some stronger form of megaphone. We need to fight better.
Progressives only take from the highest bidding lobbyist’s.
I agree. Things would have gone WAY smoother if Hillary had been elected.
Given Trump’s “poor performance”, I’m sure you’ll be voting for Hillary II in four years. In the mean time, you’ll have an opportunity to vote Democrat in the mid-terms in less than two years. Democrats DO know how to get things done, right? So if you can help get a few more Democrats elected, Paul Ryan will no longer have to worry about the handful of actual conservative Pubs in the House thwarting Hillary’s and Paul’s agenda, and will be able to push Hillary’s agenda through just the same as if she had been elected in the first place.
I was quite afraid of a Trump candidacy; the man had over the years seemed like more the Democrat type. But. He promised to fill the Scalia seat with someone from a well-reviewed list, and that was enough for a great many conservative voters. He has delivered.He has put a conservative tax reform proposal on the table. Congressional Republicrats will have to be quite creative to sabotage that; it is so very fundamental to the Republican brand.
Beyond peradventure, the process of nomination of candidates for Republican congress critters will be interesting.
This is all uniparty. On both sides of the aisle.
Uniparty needs to be utterly destroyed.
