Over the weekend, Donald Trump called the "first 100 days" marker ridiculous, and he's right. Especially in today's heated political climate, where the two sides in Congress can compromise about as well as a grizzly and a fish, the "first 100 days" market isn't a fair nor a realistic marker for any president. However, in saying that, Donald Trump can't have it both ways, which makes him sound even more ridiculous than the marker he claims to be such.
Throughout his campaign, then candidate Trump made more first-100-days promises than China has people, so how can he be surprised when he gets called out for these failed promises? Repeal and replace "Obamacare"? Hasn't happened. Tax reform? Hasn't happened. Fund and build "the wall"? Again, hasn't happened. Not only has Trump failed to deliver on his first-100-days campaign promises, he just recently said that, through the first 90 days, his administration has accomplished more than any other, before backtracking and suggested that the "first 100 days" marker was ridiculous. Like I said, he can't have it both ways and looks ridiculous for attempting to do so.
To give an even more exaggerated version of Trump's mindset, I can see him engaging in the following conversation with a prospective wife (yes, #4):
Donald Trump: "Honey, if you marry me, I'm going to be the best husband like ever, okay? In the first week, I'm going to buy you three houses, four cars, take you on a worldwide cruise, and even fly you to the moon, believe me! What do you say?"
Carly Fiorina: "Okay, I'll do it."
A year after their wedding day
Trump: "Happy Anniversary, woman!"
Fiorina: "Happy Anniversary."
Trump: "So, if you had to describe me as a husband for the first year, what would it be? Best, bester, bestest, or bigly bestest?"
Fiorina: "I'll be nice and give you a 'C-'."
Trump: "'C-'? 'C' as in 'clever,' right?"
Fiorina: "No, 'C' as in average."
Trump: "Wouldn't 'A' be for 'average'?"
Fiorina: "No, 'A' would be for excellent."
Trump: "Wouldn't 'E' be for 'excellent'?"
Fiorina: "Shutup!"
Trump: "What's wrong, woman?"
Fiorina: "You promised me all these things in our first week of marriage. We've just completed week 52 and still, nothing. Not a damn thing!"
Trump: "Hey, woman, come on, 364 days isn't a fair marker for what I promised to do in 7 days, tops! Give me a break here!"
Fiorina: "Where at?"
Trump: "What do you mean?"
Fiorina: "You said to give you a break, so I'm offering to give you a break!"
Trump: "You mean like break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar?"
Fiorina: "Oh, for f*ck's sake!"
Trump: "So, is that a yes? I promise to get you a Kit Kat bar today!"
Fiorina: "Ugh!"
