NM11046 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 This was a good read for me - funny how all the details of the negotiations weren't readily available in a concise way. This should give a lot of people a lot of hope in our government checks and balances. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/daily-202/2017/05/01/daily-202-eight-ways-trump-got-rolled-in-his-first-budget-negotiation/590687f2e9b69b3a72331f09/?utm_term=.42b1ef2d4811 Link to comment
knapplc Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 I have to say, I am sick and tired of everyone making a big deal out of the first 100 days. Trump is correct about one thing. It's a meaningless arbitrary point in time. Now, him saying that is hypocritical when he made such a big deal out of all he was going to do in this time period during the campaign. But....people need to get over it, the media needs to stop having constant programs analyzing the first 100 days...bla bla bla.... Get back to talking about issues. While I agree that the actual issues are more important, every president is judged by this standard. It's been a benchmark since FDR. Link to comment

But...do a program on it and move on. The media has been going over board about it for the last two weeks and I'm guessing it's going to go on another week or so. Link to comment

Trump Campaign Going Up With $1.5 Million Ad Buy Promoting First 100 Days President Donald Trump’s campaign on Monday morning announced a $1.5 million ad buy to tout his first 100 days in the Oval Office. The buy includes a 30-second television ad and digital ads, the Trump campaign said in a statement unveiling the ad buy. The television ad promotes Trump’s nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, claims that Trump has created jobs in the U.S., and touts his work to undo regulations passed under President Barack Obama. “You wouldn’t know it from watching the news,” the narrator says in the ad as the screen flashes “FAKE NEWS.” “America is winning, and President Trump is making America Great Again.” Link to comment

RedDenver Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks for the links. I'm glad I don't watch commercial TV anymore, so I haven't seen any of that stuff. Link to comment
