A president’s first 100 days are an arbitrary benchmark, a point of measurement journalists are fond of because it allows us to draw comparisons between the current officeholder and Franklin D. Roosevelt, the last chief executive whose first three months were truly momentous. But in recent times, the 100-day trope has also been taken seriously by presidents — including both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump promised that in his first 100 days he would repeal Obamacare, build a wall on the border with Mexico and persuade Congress to pass term limits.

None of those things happened, but Trump did outdo former holders of the office in one regard: producing unshirted chaos.

The headstrong new president imposed a ban on immigrants and travelers from Muslim countries, but it was quickly reversed by federal courts. He stripped federal funding from sanctuary cities, but that, too, was quickly challenged. His national security advisor resigned amid a scandal over secret contacts with Russian officials.

Lies and cheating fit the whole Trump family.

5. But their lies are so transparent.

I gotta believe that the suckers think that they'll actually get something out of the Trumps.

And that's a second layer of crazy cake.

6. There's no comparison.

Biden's been a president who has, in 100 days, put the country on track to resolving the greatest crisis we've faced since WW2 and the Depression It took a Democrat to take care of those issues, too, remember?

Biden can legitimately be compared to Roosevelt. He will become the single most accomplished President since Roosevelt if his Democratic colleagues in the Senate will knock down the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court with about five young, progressive justices.
