A new abc News Washington post poll showing 42 of those surveyed approve of the president , 53 disapprove. The headline, holes at record lows for the approaching 100 day mark. The Washington Post taking a Historical Perspective on what this means. The headline, historians say the useless0 days is a benchmark. Frank when roosevelt talking about the achievements of his young presidency, the first 100 days devoted to spinning the wheels of the new deal. The first 100 days has taken on a life of its own. Some tried to gauge the success or failure of the administration by actions conducted in the first few months while others view it as a time for leadership leaders to set the tone for the rest of the presidency. What has become apparent is that the first three months say little about a new president s achievements, let alone his legacy or agenda. According to experts it is simply too short of a time to achieve something lasting and meaningful. And yet on the campaign trail, in gettysburg last fall, candidate trump said this. Asking the American People to rise above the noise and the clutter of our broken politics and to embrace with great faith the optimism that has always been the central ingredient in the american character. There is Nothing Better or stronger than the american character. [applause] i am asking the American People to dream big once again. What follows is my 100 day action plan to make America Great again. It is a contract between donald trump and the american voter. Honesty, with bringing accountability, and change to washington, d.

Is thethat the man American People have a majority with a quiet wait and see, some as he gotdistrust elected by a technicality that the Founding Fathers never really when it was initially written had made sense, but now sort ofrt of it makes us pause and wonder. We need to see what mr. Trumps taxes are and lets be honest on both sides. We still have not and did these coded forx reform is when the rich get richer and the middleclass get a dog biscuit return.

Trump has been eyeing the mark with dread for some time. E atlantic magazine writes they are not going to make it. He has little to show for the first three months in office. Dan joining us from pickering, ohio. On the independent line. Good morning. Caller i want to point out that the video you showed of him in gettysburg where he is making all those six things, he has done five out of the six things. The only thing he hasnt done is the constitutional amendment. If Congress Wants to give the President Authority to pass constitutional amendments they can do that but five out of those six things, he said he was going to do, he has already done. I would consider that a success. Host thank you for the call and this is from the handle is photo dude. 100 days is an unrealistic standard. It sets the course of the next four years. Tommy in oklahoma, and a credit line. Democrat line. Caller i have a lot of questions i need answered from mr. Trump. Said he was going to do i amhat he hasnt done very disappointed. I didnt vote for the man but it seems like every time something comes up there is a connection to russia or the university or something to better his financial situation. A man who worked for Trump University and the guy that he has put in a position in his cabinet is directly related to having i think his name was noon as i am really amazed at all the people that are in the cabinet and connected to his business dealings at one time or another. Nothings ever done or investigated. I would like to know what can be done about a person who seems to be this corrupt. That is in the president ial office. Host tommy from oklahoma, thank you for the call. Lou says he is doing a wonderful job under the circumstances that obama left behind. Make America Great again.

He also finds a way to get it done when so many including me at times didnt know how he can pull it off, donald trump one a historic victory. Completely rewrote the rules of politics and set the course of the country. A businessman willing to challenge conventions. He has shaken up washington and lays out his agenda of generational per fortunes proportions, and made it his mission to fight for those who feel forgotten. Where others would turn back he forges ahead. I have found a driven and handson leader with the potential to become a truly transformational american figure. That is from paul ryan, Available Online. From pennsylvania, john is next. Independent line. Is thatt 100 days is a fair estimate on what they can get done because of the nature of our politics and our country. You can only do so much. Host still with us . We lost the call. Now to eddie in baltimore. Good morning. Youre next. Good morning, eddie. Caller good morning. Thank you for cspan. I am a fan. I just want to comment on his first 100 days. He is definitely representing White Privilege through the max. Anything except what he said he was going to do and that is help the rich and make the poor poorer. If you really want to see his success, look at the bank account of his family and you will really know what happened. He has been extremely successful so that he can benefit his family. Good atlso been very destroying obamas legacy as an africanamerican president. And that is at the same time why with all that civil rights in detroit with jeff sessions. Who spokepeople earlier, im sure some people are jumping for joy because he is doing what they wanted to do. Host another story, the reporting of glenn thrush and maggie have her men at the front page of the new york times. Trump reaches beyond the west wing for counsel.

On the democrats line, good morning. We will try one more time. Hutch in hawaii, good morning, hutch. And thanks for cspan. I am anxious to see if the president is going to change at all as far as politicians being in office and washington and everything changing and their point of view and their business ethics. Days ists first 100 basically not nothing, and sprinted to the 100 days. Not bad. A lot of foreign leaders respect the president more than people in this country which is amazing. But it is ok. But you know what . When i call on the president , i call on Speaker Paul Ryan to stop of america. Banks lking about all the banks are now doing this again to their customers. Overdraftseven dollar , it is really silly. America is being squeezed by Corporate America and if you want to get this country back on track you have to start with. Usiness ethics i think the house and the president have to take a really good look at how their consumers are being robbed blind. God bless. Host thank you very much for the call. If you log on to the Washington Examiner website front and center, developments over the weekend with regard to the flurry of activity on health care. Speaker paul ryan telling House Republicans no votes scheduled on health care this week. Joining us live on the phone is al reaver al weaver who is following the story. Thank you for being with us. Guest thanks for having me. Host what is the latest . There has been some indication that this might come to the floor this week. Guest we are not really expecting it this week. Speaker ryan said that yesterday called for a recess ahead of the weekend. We are not expecting that. We are still trying to iron out the language between tuesday and mark meadows, the Freedom Caucus. They are working out the language, especially on the Central Health benefits. We are still waiting to see what that is, exactly. We will see what happens. We are not expecting that this week. I think more likely it will be towards the end of may. I think they are kind of taking their time on this and they dont want a repeat of what happened a month ago. Host but are they moving closer . Is this something that will happen as speaker ryan said in the first 200 days of this congress . Guest it definitely has to at some point. Obviously time, President Trump made the pivot saying we are going to do tax reform and do that from the outset. Was told,ms like he we need the money out of the Health Care Package to do tax reform. So it seems like theyve come to the realization that we need to do health care now and we dont have a choice because we can still get some reconciliation and do it with republican votes in the senate. It is still at that stage. We will see if it is something that can pass. We will have to wait and see what the language is exactly. Whether it will appeal to centrist moderate republicans and conservatives. Lets talk about some other deadlines coming up. First and foremost, friday, Congress Needs to pass a spending bill to avert a government shutdown. It remains to be seen. The initial talk this past week was that they were going to pass asextension, shortterm cr they are doing that with the Health Care Issue but it remains to be seen if that happens, especially now that they are kicking the can a little bit on health care. That is enough to get them time to get the cr or the budget done. It seems like it remains to be seen. What they have been putting in the bill, specifically, they want to talk about money for the border wall. Democrats are adamantly opposed to this, obviously. Also money drawn from century cities and planned parenthood is always a big issue because republicans always want to insert language and democrats are adamantly against it so it remains be seen what is in their. They will get something through but anything else i think is going to be problematic. Host how likely is it that we could see a clean continuous resolution . Guest im not sure. That is the milliondollar question now. Adamantly wants this funded. This is the promise of the campaign trail, a great big border wall across the u. S. Mexico border. That is why a lot of his court voted for him but the problems heruns into in this case are needs Democratic Senators to get anything through. He can use the republican support in the house but in the senate, he runs into issues. I dont know what you have much choice other than to do a clean cr. Host with regard to tax reform we will get more details on wednesday. The president going to the Treasury Department across the street from the white house to begin laying out what he calls the framework for conference of tax reform. He says it will be the most significant tax cut by any president. What will this look like and how much support does he have among Congressional Democrats to move ahead on this if any . Guest not much right now. I think everyone is still waiting to see what happens with the Health Care Situation because if they dont get the Health Care Situation done it makes tax reform for medically more different. Especially for republicans who are wanting tax reform. Paul ryan debated just as much when he gave that a month ago. Were still waiting on the details and usually the devil is in the details. While we are waiting for that, right now, it looks like the end of the year will be more likely, initially. They want it to get done by august. Kevin brady really wants he said basically, we want it in august but it doesnt really matter. As long as it has 2017 it doesnt matter and paul ryan said as much. We are waiting for details on that but it depends on what happens with the Health Care Situation. Host al weaver will be following all of this for the Washington Examiner, available on the website Washington Examiner. Com. Thanks for being with us. Guest thanks for having me. Host lets turn back to your tweets. This is from carol wells who says 100 days of lies, corruption and basing the office. Couldnt have expected anything else. From thomas the first 100 days is not a fair measure. It is not around because of severe partisanship. Tweet us at cspan wj or share your comments online. From the u. S. News world report, trump is right. The 100 days is dumb. He writes the following setting aside his reflexive media criticism, he is right about the 100 day standard. It is ridiculous. I just wish that he would point out this to his own staff whose seeming obsession with it is risking some realworld damage. It dates back to the whirlwind of activity at the start of Franklin Roosevelt administration. His first term in office. That was in the middle of the great depression. Now he just needs a chat with his staff and Administration Officials seem not unreasonably panicked about the review with the media. The whole essay is Available Online at u. S. News world report. In mansfield, ohio, independent line, darrell. Good morning. Caller good morning. The media would pay a little more attention to that harris and black box voting. Org. She has been investigating all of this electronic voting for many years and the hidden corruption behind shoulder voting is done how the voting is done. And i believe they have now perfected their thing so that anybody who runs for a high public office, the republicans can always manipulate it so that they will win. And if you have seen some of her videos about fractional voting and things like that i wish the media would really delve into it and find out more information and expose that kind of thing. Host we appreciate your call. Lets go to beverly in north carolina, democrats line. Caller good morning. Nothing. Has done he hasnt excelled in anything except getting that judge where he wanted him to be. Has failedelse, he and that is why he is not so concerned about the 100 day mark. Mr. Trump promised a lot things to a lot of people who feel like him. He felt like them because he needed their vote and he is sort of wondering around and doesnt know what to do. Mr. Trump does not know what to do. As far as any other time, i dont know what will happen to donald trump. He got in because he lied so much to the people. They believed him. Its just like him. God help us in america. An weekly standard, he said the first hundred days are typically a honeymoon through which the political knives remain sharp. Finding time to both attack trump and blame each other for their study loss. Republican Freedom Caucus servers are finding time to backstab their speaker and defy their president. And of the honeymoon is the piece that weekly standard. Com. On her website at cspan. Org or the program carried live at sirius xm, the potus channel. And if you are listening across a call andive us tell us what you think. We take a look back at the 2016 campaign. The republican line. Caller first of all, President Trump is a liar. Who cares about his tax returns. Hes one of us and not a politician. If you want to know who is the liar, it was president obama. Foridnt even change life african and black here. President trump has got the charm. He will fix this country because this country was going nowhere. Yet on to it. Republicans are not even with him. God is bigger than anything. Its a shame that some people they demonstrate. Damage this country. Lets get together and give him a chance. The best president. I promise you that. This is what i have to say and i wish him the best. Host with regard to the front page story, this is from john. He will go be on the west wing and listen to the common man and woman for counsel. Looking at people donald trump talks to. This from our regular tweeter, he has no idea what hes doing. His visit to the walter reed Medical Center. The Medical Center is just outside of washington, d. C. Had to have his right leg amputated. When i heard about this, i wanted to do it myself. It will show you a short clip. Congratulations to the entire nation. Host receiving the purple heart at the walter reed medical facility. President going to his hotel at the Old Post Office to have dinner with his wife. First a tweet from michael that says it is only a honeymoon when you elect to politician. Its still not proven that trump is really conservative or even partisan. Caller mr. Trump promised the world and the cant even deliver a ham sandwich. When he promises everything in the first hundred days and. Elivers nothing the previous president over and over starting with the birth certificate to the wiretapping. And doesnt even have anybody on the republican side to stick with him and do any of the legislation that he wants and cant keep his own cabinet , hether on the same page doesnt have anywhere to work or anywhere to take a break. I dont think this man can do anything. Im not a paid demonstrator. Im not a lobbyist. But i can see straight and i know what hes doing. Hes making money for himself and his family. I would like to know where his money is coming from. The first hundred days are the first thousand days, its beginning to look like trump is a died. Obama changed the Health Care Discussion forever. Like it or not, we didnt look at it like we do now. Oreilly coming back on the air tomorrow at 7 p. M. Eastern time. His website says hes returning with a new podcast. Was updated to announce the new podcast one day after his former news show shut down for good. After a reported 25 million by the foxnews channel over allegations of sexual and paying out as much as 13 million for five of the lawsuits against the foxnews channel and 21st century. I think that the first hundred days have been an abysmal failure. The lowest Approval Ratings of any president. The cabinet appointments. Internet administration whose only purpose is to disparage president barack obama. Field failed. The band has failed. The repeal and replace has failed. Taxes, i want to see his medical records. Ry president i believe what is he have a specialist as his primary care physician. I want to see if hes been treated for depression. I want to see the other aspects of his health. Host you know people will pay to watch his podcast. No administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days. Next is a photograph of franklin a youd is benchmark of every subsequent president. Interesting to hear what he said in may of 1933. Three months since i talked to the people of this country about our national problems. During this time, many things of happened. Them really of helped the wellbeing of the average citizen. In the short space of these few months, im convinced at least 4 million have been given employment. 40 of those seeking work have found it. It does not mean that i am satisfied or that you are satisfied that the work as ended. Host Franklin Roosevelt reflecting on his months in office. Trumps first hundred days and is it a fair measure . Does 100 days compared other president s. He doesnt want to be judged on the same standards. Only 28 bills have been signed into law. President sherman in second place with 55 bills. Billsent obama signed 11 into law during his first 100 days. Some Historical Perspective on all of that. What happens is, the first thing republicans did was try to eliminate the ethics committee. President trump made them stop that so they couldnt do that. And i just keep watching. What about kennedy . What about clinton . All democrats that did the same thing and worse. I just dont understand. Do is talked to about what each wanted to do before they start coming around and doing things right. To anthonyring weiner who stepped down amid his own sexual tweeting scandal. Democrats line. The first hundred days is a map showing the way the administration is going to take the country. Review, george will has his piece. Nevermindoh, president. Messages are important, whether delivered by words, missiles, or words about missiles. His retreat is a matter mostly between him and them. His comments about china not being a currency manipulator, and how he addresses the world will reveal if hes gone from candidate to commander in chief without becoming president ial. Democrats line, good morning. I am a proud scientist and just yesterday, over 600 demonstrations across the world demonstrated against this president. I am ashamed of this president. Theave just elected, using electoral college, a highly unfit president. And we had a highly qualified president in Hillary Clinton. I couldve been her scientific advisor had she been elected. The scientists , canrated by barack obama . Ou explain he said i cannot. That donald trump is endangering our country. That. All the never endorsed the president. And the Foreign Policy newspaper as well. For the first time in history, endorsing a democrat. This president is endangering our country. Thise a website devoted to. His focus is to keep the government open. It Health Care Still a priority but the spending bill will be the primary focus of the coming week. Caller i want to say this man is brilliant. Forgive the first hundred days and give him his first term. That, the country will want him for the rest of his life. Welcome to the conversation. Caller the first hundred days has been a hell of a lot better than the last eight years. Ronald reagan completely destroyed the soviet union. Clintonbama and hillary have resurrected the soviet union. And they are going to destroy the world. Barack obama and Hillary Clinton helped them do it. Richard nixon created the epa. In 1970, the first earth day. , it was called the march for science. Of can watch the coverage the full event at cspan. Org. They are the two white guys that had nothing else but White Privilege. This country is totally divided. You have the republican party. They are all white. They dont want to accept diversity. They are not going to get new jobs. No new jobs for anybody not qualified. Probably half of those white people right there. A president that talks too much. Hes extremely hypocritical. You catch him in a lie every five minutes. He says everything he does is the greatest thing there ever was. He talks too much. He has diarrhea of the mouth. He gets himself in trouble and he ignores it. Tax reform on happen until we find out what is on his taxes. Trump dining out at his hotel. For security reasons, taking the motorcade. He did so again last month.

Host calling him the least popular president in modern times with a 42 approval rating. 73 of his base approve of the efforts to keep jobs here. Good morning. Caller i have been listening to all the comments and the thing that really strikes me is that our former president wrote a hek in which he said that put out a blunt in his dorm room carpet. Come on. At least the country is heading in a new direction. In my area, it was abysmal that hillary was going to get elected and thank god the electorate put donald trump in place. Donald trumps own mouth got him in trouble. Host inside the doomed to campaign. They will be there. Coming up in about 35 minutes. Caller i have a few things. Hes a man. Everybody is a human being. Nobody is perfect on this earth. God put him in there for a reason. Hes anointed by christ and he will do the will of god. Ezekiel. Ika read deuteronomy.

What impact did it have on the election today . Its an interesting question and one difficult to ascertain any kind of clarity on. The president ial campaign has a hard deadline.
