While I was at a bar last night, I overheard a drunk man exclaim, "Trump has done more in his first year than Obama did in all his years!" I had to simultaneously chuckle and give myself a facepalm at this declaration.
It's ironically humorous that this individual feels this way, for he's about one thing and one thing only - money. When Barack Obama entered the Oval Office, we were dealing with the largest financial crisis since the Great Depression. Hundreds of thousands of jobs were being lost every month, to the point where the unemployment rate increased to 10.0%. People were losing their jobs, money, homes at a pace not seen in 70 years. Under Obama's leadership, however, the economy was able to stabilize, and the unemployment rate decreased to 4.8% as a result. So it's quite amazing and ignorant for this drunken individual to lay claim that a man who inherited a strong economy has done more for it in a single year than one who inherited the Great Recession and was able to hand over a strong economy to his successor.
In all honesty, what has Donald Trump achieved in his first 14 months in office?
- He's said to watch hours worth of cable news (Fox) every day. Sadly, that's probably the hardest he works all day..
- The man has tweeted more than porn stars named Mike Schwanz and Cinnamon Snatch have fornicated.
- At least 19 women have accused him of sexual improprieties. That's approximately 12 higher than he can reportedly count.
- He has been sued by a porn star named Stormy. Enter the weather-related pun of your choice here.
- Trump has victim-blamed, you know, "both sides."
- The guy stood up for white supremacists. Yes, white supremacists tend to stand up for him too, but still...
- He's lied more than mathematician Mensa members can count.
- At least 2 women have alleged he had affairs with them not long after his youngest son, Barron, was born. This has resulted in him being named the Most Hated Man in the World by his own wife, Melania.
- Due his flip-flopping nature and the uncertainty it provided health insurers, premiums increased at even greater rates than anticipated and millions fewer are receiving healthcare. Trump does offer his thoughts and prayers for these individuals, however, and if our seemingly constant mass shootings are of any indication, they're going to work "bigly" well...
- More people have left this White House in its first year than any administration before it. So that's one record The Donald can brag about...
- He's continually failed to admit facts as being just that - facts. Russia meddling in the election is just one example. "Alternative facts," however, he's never coy about sharing...
- Trump has bragged about cutting regulations on multiple occasions. Some of these very regulations were put in place after the Great Recession, in an attempt to prevent such a catastrophic event in the future. So yeah, that's special...
- The president's signature achievement to this point was his tax reform bill. Most of that bill's goods, however, were centered on the richest among us, furthering our economical trend toward oligarchy, and making another recession more likely. Making recessions great again!
- He's hated around the world. Countries around the globe now have a lower opinion of us in the era of Donald Trump. Of course, Russia is the exception...
- US tourism has been negatively impacted by Trump's rhetoric and legislation. That means less money going into our economy for all of those die-hard Trump-supporting money-grubbers out there.
- History experts named Trump the worst president in history. Again, congratulations, Mr. Trump!
- Voters have named Trump the worst president since World War II. I'm starting to notice a trend here...
- He's committed it so many times, Trump's middle name should be changed to Obstruction of Justice. Just sayin'...
- The man admitted in an Access Hollywood video that he sexually assaults women. For anyone who combats this by labeling the comments as "locker-room talk," I have to ask one thing - when was the last time you were in a locker room? Chances are it's been a while...
- Listening to Donald Trump's State of the Union speech was like watching Ben Stein speak for an hour and a half while in slow-motion and Freddy Krueger constantly scratching on a chalkboard.
So, let's revisit the quote from last night which I mentioned at the outset of this post: "Trump has done more in his first year than Obama did in all his years!"
If we're talking about porn stars named after weather patterns or we add the words "to destroy this country," then the drunkard may have had a point. Otherwise, he's just plain nuts.
