Why Is 100 Days so Special?

COMMON SENSE: What is so magical about 100 days? Who said President Trump only has 100 days to get things done anyway? Where did this number come from?
Until this election, other than it being considered the “Honeymoon Period” with Congress, I’ve never heard of it being used as a measuring stick, and I want to challenge the validity its nonsensical assumption. There has been no Honeymoon Period for Donald Trump, not even a day. Nevertheless, he is President for 1,461 days, not for 100. He has that entire period to enact his agenda, and he’s off to a good start, despite the fact that for the first thirty days, most of his cabinet members haven’t even been confirmed.
The 100-day figure constitutes his “Honeymoon,” but Trump has never had a honeymoon with the press and he never will. Besides, does anybody actually believe our massive problems can be solved in three months plus ten days? Does one visit to a marriage counselor solve deep-seated marital conflict? hardly. The same is true for the United States. We have problems that need real solutions, not conformity to an arbitrary number set up by our hostile media.
So, President Trump, do whatever you need to do to solve our problems. It’s more important to get things right than it is to placate the media. They don’t want you to succeed anyway; we do.

The Press Just Doesn’t Get What Trump Is Doing

COMMON SENSE: Most of the media is clueless about what President Trump is doing. Trump is not unhinged or “off the rails”—far from it.
Because he is playing chess, while the press is playing checkers, what he is doing simply doesn’t make sense to them, but it makes perfect sense to those who have the capacity to fathom what is really happening. The press and talking heads are judging him by one set of rules, while he is playing an entirely different game.
That they are so insular and cannot fathom his moves or his end game is not his fault, nor is it his responsibility. What we need is a press corps that understands the new rules of the game, but that’s not going to happen any time soon. Until it does, and it may not, we will be deluged with pundits who wring their hands and gnash their teeth, telling us we are being led by a buffoon who may be a madman.
