    Again, showing the humility, honesty, and willingness to be honest about himself that Trump seems to embody, he has graded his effort as president.

    A+.


    Indeed, a grade that seems to be pulled out of nowhere, not really reflective of much. Effort? What effort? The guy seems to spend time traveling to Florida, having campaign rallies, exploding on Twitter, and farting around with whomever he can get his mug on the news. Accomplishment? What acocmplishement? He failed to get his walls tarted, he failed to start to deport millions, and he failed to get the ACA repealed, all things he said he would do immediately upon taking office.

    This guy is truly having delusions of achieving mediocrity.

    President Trump thinks everything about his presidency is A-okay.

    In an extensive “Fox & Friends” interview Tuesday morning ahead of his first congressional address, Trump said he gives himself an “A+ for effort” in the White House, doesn’t agree with any of his bad press and thinks the only problem of his turbulent first weeks has been his “messaging.”

    Meanwhile, he remained ever-fixated on his media coverage and his election victory, and the Trump-loving hosts sneaked a free advertisement for the President’s new Washington hotel into the interview.

    Asked to grade his presidency so far, Trump said he’d award himself highest marks for “effort” and “achievement.”

    Trump has some serious behavioral health issues. He's a narcissist with an incredibly inflated ego, he constantly lies and berates anyone critical of him, he tries to manipulate the media, he hasn't accomplished much of anything since his inauguration other than expensive weekend jaunts to Florida and no one seems to want to accept an appointment to his administration. Then there's the matter of his having the lowest approval rating of any incoming president.

    He's an abject failure as President.

    I can't wait to listen to him babble and make a fool of himself before Congress this evening.

    More delusion from Trump.

    Now, can he top it off by further disgracing his office tonight?

    Will he attack the press before Congress?

    Spot on.. Trump is the MOST self-absorbed person I have ever seen.

    What is troubling is the sort of loyalty to him that we see.. Why aren't conservative Americans noticing and concerned?.

    He also told us he graduated top of his class when, in fact, he barely attended school according to those who were with him at the time. Is there no end to his delusions of grandeur?

    Trump is pathologically delusional.

    His supporter are already well aware that they have been duped

    Their "defense" of him has morphed into Stockholm Syndrome.

    People simply don't want to admit that they elected the wrong person for some of the right reasons. Trump's supporters are dissatisfied with an ineffective legislature and a former President that was lacking leadership and the ability to unite Republicans and Democrats in a common effort to improve this country. And frankly, none of the candidates in the 2016 election were worth voting for.

    But look what they've got. Trump claims to be a man of the people yet he's salted his cabinet with more millionaires and billionaires then any other president. Trump constantly lies, he denegrates the media and the intelligence community, he's made a mess out of "extreme vetting," and where's the progress on the wall that he claimed would be his first priority when elected.

    He's a nacissistic, egotistical gasbag.

    Remove 'I think' and 'probably' and you'll be nearer the truth.

    look, we can all agree that Trump is an upgrade to that disaster that called himself the message of hope and change.
    And certainly Trump is better than the disaster known as Hillary Clinton.

    So grading at this stage when the man can not even get his cabinet confirmed seems a bit pre mature.
    just be thankful for who he is NOT.

    This is in response to trump grading himself, and in the category of effort he gave himself the highest traditional marks possible, which seems fairly laughable.

    Trump is burying his credibility which may likely result in big things coming on the horizon for him.

    Wow. Reading this thread is like watching the after effects of the left wing medias non-stop, 24/7, maniacal assault on the Trump administration.

    Too late for tears. He'll be speaking to Congress and the nation tonight. Prepare a hanky.

    Because he's a delusional, narcisstic and egotistical pathological liar. Psychologically, he can't tolerate the thought of being less than perfect.

    Because he's stupid enough to think nobody will check? Because he knows his uneducated supporters aren't interested in being educated themselves, and could care less anyway? Because he's insane? All the above apply, but I'll go with the latter.

    Trump has always counted on uneducated (low-information) voters.

    Of course he expects his supporters to exhibit a discernible level of ignorance (and turn a blind eye) in regards to his constant stream of lies.

    Trump 101.

    He is doing a great job so far, far better than I thought he would be doing so early in his administration. I have no complaints so far. The fact that the left is screaming calling him insane, delusional, and narcissistic just confirms to me that we are on the right path. 54 billion increase in defense spending while slashing useless social and environmental programs is a great start. It will take time to reverse the destruction of the last 8 years, but we will get there.
