Quick Checklist of [Redacted] and his Administration's YUGE Accomplishments So Far!

Stuff He PROMISED TO DO:

Suspend the TPP: DONE! (Needs more coverage. Big celebration. Parties. Fake media trying to downplay this INCREDIBLY MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT!)

Build a Wall: IN PROGRESS-ISH (Taking bids. Lots of bids. Specs already done, though: Gotta look nice on our side and be hard to climb and something else, can't remember, but, you know... it'll be tremendous.)

Make Mexico Pay for Wall: Not so much

Repeal Obamacare: Not so much

Ban Muslims: IN PROGRESS-ISH (We did TWO Muslim bans. So-called "Judiciary Branch" obstructing. Bad.)

Protect Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security: Not so much (Budget things. Complicated. Don't worry, you'll love not having these when you see the YUGE tax cuts you'll get.)

Make NATO Allies Pay Their Share: Not so much

Implement Amazing Total ISIS-Defeating Plan in 30 Days: Not so much

Take No Salary: IN PROGRESS-ISH (Bookkeeping, you know? So, yeah, have to take the checks, but will totally donate "profits" at the end of the year. To, um... someone.)

Appoint Special Prosecutor to Investigate Hillary: Just don't say those words. Don't. Just... don't.

Massive Infrastructure Investment: Not so much

Renegotiate the Terrible, Horrible Iran Deal: Not so much

A whole lot more: Not so much


Stuff Presidents Sorta Have To Do Because It's the JOB:

Appoint a Cabinet: Almost there! Almost!

Appoint 500 or so Other Senior Officials: Not so much

Ensure That No Possible Credible Appearance of Conflicts of Interest can Undermine Credibility: Not so much

Articulate a Coherent Foreign Policy: Not so much unless "America First!" counts as a "foreign policy."

Develop a Budget that Identifies Administration's Priorities for Congress: Done!

Engage Foreign Leaders on a Basis of Mutual Respect: ummm... let's take a "partial" on this

Build a Strong, Effective, Collegial Staff: ditto on the... well... Not so much

Build Credible, Trustworthy Lines of Communication With the Media and the American People: Twitter counts, right? Right? It does! It SHOULD! You NEVER see Fake News on TWITTER!

Build an Effective Relationship With Legislative and Judiciary Branches: Take a "partial" on this, too?

Stuff He Didn't PROMISE TO DO:

Lie About Intell Services of America's Closest Ally: DONE!

Get Embroiled in Major Criminal Investigation Involving Foreign Election Meddling: DONE!

Make Buttloads of Cash on Name-related Patents and Business Deals: DONE!

Golf a Shitload: IN PROGRESS

Advertise Golf Courses: IN PROGRESS


Go ahead and add your own contribtutions to the list of YUGE ACCOMPLISHMENTS!

proudly,
Bright
