Egads! After a disastrous first 100 days, Donald Trump is starting to have a much more successful presidency.
This is not what we, his foam-at-the-mouth critics, had planned or perhaps secretly hoped for.
Some of this is a function of good policy, like getting NATO’s European members and Canada to spend much more on their defense, something previous American presidents asked for, but much too politely. Far from destroying the Atlantic alliance, as his critics feared, Trump may wind up being remembered for reviving and rebalancing it, to the advantage of both sides.
Some of this is courageous policy: Joining Israel in its strikes on Iran, which Trump carried out in the teeth of political resistance from parts of his own base, did not lead us into a calamitous Middle East war, though Tehran may yet seek retaliation. Instead, it helped bring the war between Israel and Iran to a swift end and, as The Washington Post’s David Ignatius has reported, did “such severe damage” that Iran’s nuclear program “will be neutered for at least a year, and probably far longer.”
Some of this is belated good policy: Speeding the delivery of arms to Ukraine, after Trump’s disastrous initial pressure campaign on Ukraine backfired by emboldening Vladimir Putin, is the only way to end the war. The next step for Trump is to make good on his sanctions threat, ideally by seizing Russia’s frozen foreign assets so that they can finance Ukrainian arms purchases.

I did not see anything disastrous in Trumps first 100 days. To me the NYT is trying to cover their a$$.
😂Disastrous first 100 days! 😂😂😀
To the NYT, “Disasterous” = reversal of Biden policies. And, especially, anything to do with DOGE.
Ahhh....NYT....Best First 100 days of any USA Presidency...
Token piece so President Trump doesn’t sue THEIR butts for slander too, LOL!
MAGA! = Make The Media HONEST Again! :)
Disastrous first 7 words of article. Done.
“After a disastrous first 100 days,”
President Trump got more done in the first 100 minutes of being in office than the rats have collectively in 50 years.
/BARF!
Yes, of course, we were waiting to hear what Bret Stephens thought.
I guess Bill Kristol and David Frum will be signing on shortly.
MAGA!1!
LOLOLOL
“Ahhh....NYT....Best First 100 days of any USA Presidency...”
Indeed.
What disastrous first 100 days?
No need to read past that lunacy.
I see that I’m not alone. lol
Sealed the border in weeks.. nothing disastrous in Trumps first 100 days in face just by doing that and nothing more he’d done more for America than most modern Presidents
IMHO, any moron who thinks this will end without a civil war needs to head for another country...
The communists and supporters, who now include about 40% of the population, are similar to the maniacal japs who were prepared to die without surrender, until Harry used the bomb...
There are no alternatives to all-out civil war...
It has already begun to leak into existence...
There’s no “better turn”, it’s maybe starting to sink in with the dumbass TDS commies that Trump just might not be Hitler after all.
What’ll tip it off?
I care about Bret Stephens opinion of Trump as much as I do the retarded black congresscritter with the wig
