The First Hundred

So we have reached, or are about to reach (not counting, so I can't say for sure) the 100 Day Mark of the new administration, whereupon important people pass judgment on Donald Trump, based upon, well, whatever fits the agenda, I suppose.

I generally agree with Adams. It's silly. Trump has been in office for approximately 3 months. Was he expected to right all the wrongs, by now?
My personal take, is this:
1) Considering that he's getting pushback from both of the other branches of government (as well as both major parties), and demonized by most media outlets, I think he's done well.
2) It's probably best to let a sitting President reach the halfway point of his term, before you start considering the effectiveness of the administration. This is especially true with Trump, who favors playing the long game. He won the Presidency by playing the long game, and I would wager that he started playing, long before anyone else. So, it would be reasonable to assume that he's continuing the trend.
Also, Obama left one hell of a mess. It only takes a brief moment to spew vomit all over a car interior. It takes all day to clean it up.
