    Fair enough.

    Also to note, this just barely edged out the previous 'highest since before 9/11' which occurred in 2015, if you view the 10 year timeline.

    This of course beats that. There also is another thread regarding the record-breaking stock markets since the day after the election. Big to-do.

    It does. barely, but it does. The economy has been ticking along since the mid to end of 2014 with various minor ups and downs. And stock-markets after major events generally go way up or way down. It's how they perform long term over the course of his Presidency that will be more indicative of his effect on them.

    How many of Trump's "Day One" promises did he keep?

    It's happening there's no denying it. This is a large part of why he was elected. Perhaps the largest part.

    Trump is the perfect avatar for the thin-skinned, pro-Trump, RW Snowflake Fever Swamp.

    He's done, or is planning about every campaign promise he made. I don't know if that earns him an A+ for effort, but it's pretty damn close. I think what is happening here is you're conflating effort with achievement. He hasn't achieved much since everyone blocks everything he's doing. Some of it is justified, but not all of it.

    All based on Trump on a dialy basis doing and saying things newsworthy.

    Sorry, you right wingers can really go shove it. You are hypocrites. you criticized Obama for 8 years, completely making stuff up, talk about obsession. Trump is being attacked for being such a train wreck. You can lie all you want, you aren't kidding anybody.

    For sure.

    Just like back in 1969 Charles Manson was a successful avatar for people who wanted their name in the news.

    It's depends on the context. As an example, those in the rear of the pack during the Boston Marathon were losers, but the winners tragically ran into the bombs set off by terrorists. In a sense the losers were the winners.

    In this context, Trump is killing it. Just what he was elected to do. The winning is epic.

    No, otherwise he would have lost.

    So what's with all the crying over his EOs?

    Sorry, but the lefts editorializing of news as if it were the news, isn't news. It's spin, for the purpose of creating turmoil. We get it. Carry on.

    And he's not only your president, but the president for all Americans... Something you guaranteed us, for months, he'd never be... Is your post another guarantee?
