F
âHe has been the most divisive President of my lifetime.â
F
âHis inability to tell the truth is mind boggling and serves to underscore how unfit he is for the job.â
F
âTrump's staff do not understand America's mission and values, have no strategy to serve America's people, fail to perform the tasks of the Executive branch, cannot handle a crisis, show no concern for future generations, and have no culture other than corruption.â
F

A+

F
âHe put Wall Street and many divisive advisors back in the driver's seat.â
A+
âHe's running the government more like a business. He is tough, but fair and honest as opposed to the liberals and the media.â
F
âI feel that he can't be trusted, not a single thing he has said has been truthful, with the exception of him admitting that the job was hard.â
F
âToday I was listening to NPR and I heard a clip of Trump saying something to the effect of 'not caring about your knee surgery because we should be worrying about North Korea.' Really?â
B+

A

F
âAs some who is gay, female, and works in the environmental field, it's safe to say Trump's first 100 days in office have spelt disaster for me personally and professionally.â
D-
âFlipping and lack of understanding of the job are a problem for me.â
F
âTrump, stop blaming Obama! You said you would do 'extreme vetting' on immigrants so why haven't you done even minimal vetting for your admin?â
F
âBetween the non-stop threats to healthcare, the deportation stories, and military action, I'm constantly afraid for my friends' safety and my own health.â
F
âI doubted his campaign from the beginning, but was hopeful he would at least be able to fulfill his most intriguing idea, to 'drain the swamp.'â
A-
âI feel safer with a 'True American' in the office of the presidency.â
A+
âHe's been frustrated and blocked, but I'm confident that he will do his best.â
F
âLady Liberty is weeping for our great & beautiful country.â
F
âDonald Trump chose not to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, indicating both that he is not a supporter of the first amendment and, by his inability to take a joke, that he is not emotionally mature enough to be president.â
F
âIt's so sad to hear stories from friends who have been harrassed in the name of Trump for being Muslim, women, undocumented, disabled, non-white, etc. Sad.â
B+
âIf his only achievement is an appointment to the Supreme Court, then he has earned my vote.â
A-
âThe SCOTUS is a very large part of Trump's win.â
D
âI'm continually struck by two of President Trump's comments from his first 100 days. One was that 'Nobody knew how complicated healthcare is.' The other is that he thought 'the job would be easier.'â
F
âTrump's tax plan to benefit the rich (himself included), once again reveals his true underlying values. Americans are as well at fault.â
C-
âHe still refuses to be transparent with his life, his ties, or his campaign.â
A+
âConsidering the Democrats desire to do nothing for the American people and only act as obstacles for anything that our President desires to do which will benefit Americans and not political lifers, President Trump deserves an A+ completely.â
A
âThe president is intent on removing the barriers to business development in this country and restore incentives to those who want to succeed on their own without government dependence.â
F
âWondering what mayhem this severely unqualified man might incite each day is exhausting.â
F
âTrump has broken (or tried to) every promise he made about healthcare.â
A+
â... will get my vote, again, in 2020.â
F
âHe accepts responsibility for nothing, and lies constantly, and, worst of all, is doing his best to destroy the environment in the interests of short-term profits for his buddies in the coal and oil industries.â
F
âThe fact that someone who brags about sexually assaulting women is president will never be okay.â
F
âIf Trump is successful in his attempt to rob our coffers and hand over the rest to the richest members of our society, Americans like myself will be dead before the end of his first term because we have nothing left to give.â
A+
âTax breaks are desperately needed in this country. This nation taxes our citizens out of their homes and businesses!â
F
âHe blames the media for creating the artificial 100 day deadline, yet he is the one who signed a contract with America promising accomplishments during his first 100 days. He has accomplished almost none of them.â
A
âAs always president Trump is doing good things but also things I disagree with. At least he's not releasing terrorist for Iran deals and then lying about it like Obama did.â
B-
âTrump meeting with representatives of agriculture was great. New trends in farming (large and small) have been ignored by government for years.â
F
âHe's overuse of executive orders is unnerving. I hate how his choice will affect our environment, wildlife and women.â
F
âThis is so frustrating and surreal.â
F
âTrump acts like he can be a dictator and also rule America with his 'royal' family.â
A
âHe's the first president since Reagan that has done exactly what he promised while on the campaign trail.â
F
âI care about our country, but Trump apparently cares only about his brand and himself. He understands so little about government that he thought being President would be 'easier' -- what a laugh!â
A
âHe has learned a lot about being POTUS in the last 100 days. He needs time and the cooperation of the Republican Party as well as the Democrats to make our country great again.â
F
âTrump, aided by his EPA appointee, Scott Pruitt, have taken giant steps in dismantling many important environmental gains of the past 50 years.â
D-
âThe president needs to stop bragging about his (limited) accomplishments and start listening to ALL the people, especially those who did not vote for him. After all, despite his unfounded claims, they ARE the majority.â
D-
âIn some areas he hasn't been as terrible as I thought he would be - such as his indications of putting strength behind some of our foreign policies. Accordingly, he didn't get an F.â
F
âToday is Trumps 100th day in office. There is the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington tonight. Is Trump going, NO, he is going to waste more taxpayers money to fly to Harrisburg, PA for a campaign style rally, really, to satisfy his EGO?â
F
âAt this point, Trump has crippled our functioning government by appointing cabinet members that are unqualified and refuse to staff up.â
F
âThis week I visited the Carrizo Plain. It's on the list of Historical Monuments to be removed from protection. There were acres of beautiful gold and purple wildflowers, a lake that has water in it for the first time in years . It was breathtaking.â
F
âJust look at the tax plan. Reaganomics, trickle down, voodoo, supply side, whatever you wish to call it, it would only work if the tax rates were already too high.â
D-
âPresident Trump has dismantled most of our institutions without any understanding of what they accomplish. It seems as though his only desire is to punish the American people to get even with President Obama...â
A+
âHe is our president and I want to support him 100% to MAGA.â
A-
âThe more he can do to undo the last 8 years of almost everything Obama did, the higher his grade will be with me, the better the country.â
F
âWe did get a little honesty from Trump when he admitted he thought the job would be easy.â
A+
âHe made it 100 days outstanding with 0% support from the Democrats party and some of his own party. It's our president and I want to support him 100% to do his job for the USA.â
D-
âHis talents are comparable to a ego driven Fox TV personality.â
F
âNothing he has done so far reflects a positive future for myself as a senior citizen and a lover of our waters and land.â
F
âIn 100 days, we've learned this guy governs with blustery words and early morning tweets. He signs executive orders because he can't get Congress to work with him on any level.â
D-
âHis proposed tax plan appears to benefit the wealthiest in this country which is the last thing we need now! Many of us out here are literally hanging by a thread, and Trumps got his scissors poised over that thread!â
F
âI've been a victim of violent crime. Now I feel like I am a victim of violent government.â
A+
âMr. Trump is acting like a shrewd businessman and getting things moving in the right direction. Businesses are staring to hire and pay higher wages. The last position that I held had not had a raise in seven years.â
F
âHis ability to lead only satisfies the ones who stood with him throughout his debacle of an election. Lies don't work for me.â
A
âI am an RN who works in a relatively rural area. I have seen the Affordable Care Act not work in our area.â
F
âHis bellicose rhetoric toward North Korea has made those who live on the west coast less safe.â
B+
âPresident Trump's tax proposal was a bold opening bid. Based on their record so far I'm skeptical that Congress will pass any tax reform this year. I hope I'm wrong.â
D
âAs a veteran who spent 27 years in the U.S. Navy, I am concerned about his words and actions that stir up unrest in the world.â
F
âAll politicians lie but this administration has made it an Olympic event. I'm deeply concerned about health care and Social Security. And am mostly tired of 'party politics'â
F
âTrump now wants to drill for oil off California's coast while relaxing the new safety regulations put in place after Deep Water Horizon's blow out. Really? Can we think of a more dangerous way to deliver profits to the oil industry. â
B-
âOverall in the 1st 100 days, Trump has mostly promoted conservative ideals and policies. On foreign policy, he has been particularly strong.â
F
âIf the standard was enriching himself, he'd get an A+...â
F
âFirst of all, he hasn't done anything except repeat what's already been said! I'm sure his ideas work in his personal life, but not in politics!â
A
âTrump's selection of Scott Pruitt to head the EPA is beneficial to the oil refining industry, in which I am employed. There is no evidence that increased CO2 emissions will cause catastrophic global warming.â
F
âHe's too supportive of businesses and wealthy people and doesn't seem to care about the average or low income person.â
D-
âHis effort on ACA is going to take away my healthcare due to pre-existing conditions.â
F
âI went into Trump's presidency with low expectations, but somehow he's worse than I could have imagined.â
F
âHe's flailing around desperately for any major accomplishment before the hundred day mark is up. So we get stuck with the NAFTA bluff, the game of chicken with North Korea, and the attempt to force yet another vote for a disastrous health care bill all for his ego.â
F
âTrump's attacks on National Monuments affect all people like me who live in areas primarily depending on tourism.â
F
âKilling net neutrality could be a nail in the coffin of free speech - the kind people, not corporations appreciate.â
C
âIt seems like he spent a lot of time chasing useless opportunities just to try to make his first 100 days look good, while at the same time saying the first 100 days don't matter.â
F
âHe has shattered this democracy by creating an authoritarian government that relies on the military over diplomacy.â
D-
âHis policies benefit the 1% more than anyone else. As a Cheyenne River Sioux, I'm furious about the pipelines and his contempt for the environment.â
F
âI spent 30 years working in the non-profit sector to better the lives of others. He's wasted my life and is working to waste the lives of generations of people not only in the US, but throughout the world.â
D
âOur president cannot disregard science for political reasons. He is going against the majority of voters who want to preserve our country's resources rather than exploit them for short-term gain. â
F
âHis tax 'plan' clearly serves himself and people like him, not working people. And I say that as a 1%er.â
F
âHe has made not one effort to reach out to the rest of America beyond his base.â
A-
âThe greatest impact is for the first time I can remember, we have a president who knows I exist, knows the issues that are important to me and most importantly, verbalizes those issues.â
F
âOur national parks are vital to our country. There are places that are naturally beautiful and should be preserved for the wildlife and our environment.â
F
âI have yet to see that Mr Trump has done anything to improve life in this country. He is dismantling all the positive changes that have been made by prior presidents including health care, the environment, education, women's reproductive rights, etc.. What's next?â
F
âI mean, he'd get an A+ for golf trips.â
D
âI am having a problem with Trump saying one thing and then doing an about face. Do we really need to goad or antagonize North Korea?â
F
âPresident Trump is endangering the lives of millions across the world through his reckless approach to diplomacy.â
F
âI can't think of a single positive thing he's done, ever. He's deliberately destroying all the things that make (made) America great...â
F
âI make < $180 a month too much for my 6 yr old to qualify for Florida Kid Care insurance. If we lose the ACA, my 6 year old and I lose healthcare. I have preexisting conditions. It is unfair to give billions in tax cuts to the rich, when myself and others are working two jobs to make ends meet.â
F
âHis speech on Earth Day was deplorable. After getting rid of all the policies that protect our environment he says how important the environment is?â
F
âHe and his close advisers show no depth of understanding of either foreign or domestic policy other than what comes across on Fox News.â
F
âTrump is doing more to disrupt the progress made by minorities in the past couple of decades.â
F
âMr. Trump continues to represent his own interests, not the interests of this country or our place in the world.â
F
âWell, I live in South Florida, and have almost zero hope that it won't start becoming uninhabitable during my lifetime...â
F
âIn addition to the policies he has enacted, I am alarmed by the petulance he demonstrates via his Twitter account. This morning, he was still tweeting about November's election.â
F
âTrump's oligarchy is continuing to centralize power in itself, disregard and weaken the checks and balances of our government, disregard ethical constraints including conflicts of interest, use the assets of the United States for its own interests, and disregard citizen inherent rights.â
F
âA disater in every respect but specifically for me, the destruction of all of the regulations protecting our environment and health undoes everything I value and have worked to protect all my life.â
F
âHis picks for HUD and EPA are hurtful to my chosen careers and my ability to make my living.â
F
âMy son is in the military. Trump's foreign relations have me terrified. â
F
âWe could not have elected someone who is more disconnected from the working class American than Donald Trump.â
F
âWhat has he done to help the average citizen?â
F
âOn Earth Day, he proved to be a science denier once again.â
F
âAt 53, Mr. Trump is the first POTUS I've lived through where I wake each morning with a subtle anxiety that he's done something horrible since I last checked the news.â
F
âHe hasn't done anything positive for our schools, the environment, fair pay, healthcare, or reproductive rights. All he cares about is paying back his billionaire friends.â
F
âI feel so strongly that I attended my first political protest ever in DC this weekend.â
F
âTrump keeps on accomplishing nothing and keeps on lying about everything.â
F
âHe has flipped onnearly every issue and changes his mind constantly.â
F
âI am a member of the LGBT community, my rights are being neglected and threatened. He is unsafe for this country.â
F
âI think he's going to destroy this country and that will be what it takes to make some of his supporters realize he was only in this for himselfâ
F
âI have family in the Navy that could be put in jeopardy with this ridiculous game of 'chicken' he's playingâ
A+
âHe has kept his word and in the manner of Ronald Reagan is taking America back to being the strongest nation in the world.â
F
âAt 47, I used Planned Parenthood because my doctor would not help me out of a pregnancy that would never survive. I was sick and infected by time I was able to be seen.â
F
âAnnouncing we are sending a carrier group to the Korean Peninsula and instead it went to the Indian Ocean sent a message that we have a commander-in-chief who either doesn't know where our military is going or makes foolish bluffs.â
D-
âI don't think I'll be able to afford to live here when preexisting conditions are no longer covered...â
D-
âHis misstatement about the aircraft carrier heading to North Korea was an embarrassment that made him a laughingstock throughout the Pacific.â
F
âTrump just can't tell the truth. He constantly touted the 100 day mark then this week called it 'ridiculous' because he hasn't done everything he claimed he would do.â
A+
âThrilled that illegal immigration is taking a nosedive! Illegal aliens have made Southern California a much more dangerous place.â
D-
âA terribly divisive agenda.â
F
âI would love to upgrade this grade, and see anything positive from this election. Infrastructure, decrease in military spending, concentration on better life skills for the middle class???â
A+
âI am elated that existing laws will now be enforced, that veterans will receive some semblance of proper care...â
C-
âWe need to lead the world, not be a punch line.â
F
âNothing but incompetence, lying, nepotism, lack of ethicsâ
A
âEconomic impact of regulations cut by Administration documented his week, Supreme Court Justice began his work this week, tax reform plan expected next weekâ
D+
âHe ran as a man of peace yet he keeps getting us into more entanglements.â
F
âDespite telling all other Americans to 'Buy,American, Hire American,' the president and his family have not stopped having their merchandise/products manufactured abroad and hiring foreign workers for their hotels/resorts.â
F
âI don't trust him or his administration.â
F
âHe lies so often that nothing he says can be believed.â
A+
âHappy that he is trying to return the proper powers to the states.â
F
âNothing he says or does is in the interest of the ordinary citizens, and we're only 100 days into his presidency.â
F
âI can't believe the president spends so much time at his resort in Florida - and he's so uninformed that the president of China had to educate him on the history of North Korea.â
F
âHe represents our country to the world and his endorsement of Bill O'Reilly and his dismissive attitude toward the First Lady says our country values women only as objects.â
D
âMy son is an active duty Marine and I feel like his life is in danger with this lunatic as President.â
D
âHe seems to have modified his tweets to a point where he is not going to blow up the world.â
F
âEverything he does serves no purpose but the care and feeding of his ego, narcissism, and wallets of both his and his Rogue's Gallery of ne'er-do-wells.â
F
âWhy are the visitor logs of the White House a secret?â
F
âI don't like his attitude towards U.S. friends, namely Angela Merkel.â
F
âHe is using Syria and North Korea as a diversion from lying about being wiretapped and any number of other stupid orders and issues.â
F
âI voted for Trump because of his Populist and Nationalist messageâ
F
âHe keeps trying to discredit President Obama by trying to destroy ALL his policies but he has and will fail.â
F
âIn three months he has done what could take a better man years to accomplish.â
F
âI don't want to come home to America.â
F
âContinously promoting his very, very good, excellent solutions without providing any specifics and doing it denying the science and the general public opinion.â
F
âTrump is a disaster for the poor and marginalized in America.â
C-
âI feel he doesn't care about us disabled people.â
A-
âHe has kept the North Koreans off balance with diplomacy backed by force, likely disrupted their missile test...â
F
âHe says whatever he feels like saying, without regard for the truth or consequences.â
D-
âThe string of embarrassments, political missteps continues unabatedâ
F
âNorth Korea aside, Trump continues to govern based on an anti-Obama agenda.â
A+
âWe may not all agree, I know I don't, but he is doing the job of the government, keeping the money out of areas it has no business, and putting it where we need it.â
A+
âDespite the resistance from the establishment left and right, he is doing exactly what he said he will do.â
F
âHe is a disaster.â
D
âHe's playing around with people's lives like it's just one big battleship game.â
B+
âPresident Trump has stayed on point. He is a New Yorker. He will get the job done.â
A+
âPresident Trump is making America strong again by creating jobs and letting the world know that America is once again a nation of strength.â
F
âYears of progress in civil rights, environmental protection, diplomacy, education, and ant- terrorism are being rolled back or threatened by Trump and his money-grabbing cronies.â
A-
âGrowing job market, housing market improving.â
D-
âI grew up during the Cold War with the fear of nuclear annihilation and Pence's comments about North Korea have made me much more fearful than I was as a child.â
F
âBy claiming a U.S. nuclear 'armada' was on its way to N. Korea (when it was not) he escalated an already tense situation even more. What if N. Korea thought they needed to act before Trump's pretend/imaginary 'armada' got too close?â
F
âEverything he does is destructive, from the environment to foreign policy. His decisions get innocent people killed and now he is trying to start WW3.â
F
âAfter the end of the Cold War, I never expected that I would wake up and worry about nuclear war.â
A+
âI actually love his delivery and we need exactly him Trump for next 4 years!! As an immigrant I feel that enough is enough and it's time for all of us as Americans to stand by our president and our military!!â
F
âAfter volunteering as a tax-aide counselor to help seniors and low income clients file their tax returns, I am appalled by another trip to Mar-a-lago by Trump and his family at tax payers' expense. I met families and individuals struggling to make ends meet on their limited income. Shame on Trump!â
D-
âThe only reason I didn't grade Trump an 'F' is because he appears to be listening somewhat to Kushner/Wall St. faction and may have flip flopped to the positive side of several issues.â
F
âAs a taxpayer, I don't want bombs dropped on people without a coherent followup plan. I don't want non-criminal undocumented people deported.â
A+
âHe is letting good guys defeat the evil in our world and is trying to help refugees return home so they no longer are refugees while keeping all the promises he made.â
F
âTrump and his staff seem to know nothing of history, including World War II history and the Holocaust. They seem to be unafraid to perpetrate acts of war on other countries, without the consent of Congress.â
F
âHe does not care about anyone but the white and privileged and as a woman of color with an immigrant family I think that says enough about how I am affected by the president's decisions. â
F
âHe won't stop tweeting. He won't stop playing golf at his own members only resort. He won't show his taxes after promising to show his taxes. He knows nothing, while pretending to know everything.â
F
âI'm in college taking my first course in environmental health. Most days we learn about the toxic chemicals anthropogenic activity produces, environmental justice, and other regulations that ensure minimal impact on our health. Then we learn what Trump has done that week. And it's not looking good. â
F
âAs a history professor, I am disgusted by the nepotism, dropping expensive bombs to change the narrative, and constant executive orders. All while this guy golfs every weekend on our dime.â
F
âThis week, it's his use of bombs to garner praise from the media. As this is a man who craves attention, I fear his use of weaponry as a means of receiving positive feedback.â
F
âI am trying to establish a business funding primarily university based bio-science research. This presidency has made this both more difficult and more necessary than ever before.â
F
âMy Internet privacy is gone. Women's health choices reduced. Environment wellbeing dismissed. Truth is optional. â
A-
âTrump did a good job in the fight against ISIS, he got China to be tough on North Korea, and he got Justice Gorsuch approved.â
D-
âI'm glad he took action against ISIS, however, he did it without unilateral support which I think was a mistake.â
F
âHe continues to be unfocused and incoherent. His healthcare plans put my son at risk of losing insurance. He's a failure unfit for the job.â
F
âHillary was incorrect. Trump voters weren't a 'basket of deplorables', but rather a 'basket of gullibles.'â
F
âWho is in charge, the military or the president?â
A-
âHe is transparent and likeable. He is also willing to get things done. He demonstrated these qualities by his emotional appeal and willingness to listen.â
F
âWe have war ships off the coast of Korea, tensions are extremely high, and he leaves a day early for yet another weekend of golf? He is clearly going to destroy the country to protect his own interests. We are all terrified.â
F
âUnbelievably careless with the warfare. This is not a game, we are killing people a the wim of a lunatic president.â
A-
âThe Supreme Court confirmation of Neil Gorsuch, the one-time strike on Syria elevatingâ
A+
âTwo things inspired me this week. 1. Prototypes were completed for the wall with Mexico, and 2. The military used its power.â
A+
âHe is finding out quickly that working with his cabinet is very different than running a board meeting where he called all the shots without discussion. He is learning fast and doing well.â
F
âTwenty years of my life were spent living during the Cold War and I have never felt so much anxiety over the potential of nuclear war.â
F
âTrump is America's first illegitimate president due to his collusion with the Russians.â
F
âInstead of showing us his taxes, which prove his ties to Russia, he drops a bomb as a smoke screen. He has dropped a bomb on America, just a different kind. Smart people are terrified.â
F
âHe's poking a stick at North Korea. I don't think that's the best way to handle an unbalanced person. But then, Trump also seems to be unbalanced at times.â
F
âDon't ask a question of me unless you want truth.This man hasn't made a move since being elected, where he showed good sense, good intentions, or patience to listen to wise voices from his own party.â
D
âTrump has and is going back on the promises that elected him. He is too worried about his own prestige, vanity and image to understand the needs of those same people who put him into office.â
A+
âHe is taking on issues that Obama let ride. It is because of Obama policies that we have to confront Syria and N. Korea.â
F
âSo many issues, but this week I am feeling more and more outraged by his costly weekly trips to his Mar-a-Lago 'winter white house' and his continual tweeting of lies.â
B+
âAlthough not directly ordered by Trump, dropping the MOAB sends a clear message to ISIS...â
F
âIt's almost impossible to keep up with all the self-serving and harmful policies and executive orders he issues.â
F
âLack of strategy for foreign and domestic policy. The president needs to wake up and realize this is not a reality TV show.â
F
âI'm concerned about lack of transparency in the White House. Congress should have been made aware that our military was about to perform a strike on the Assad Regime in, and our allies should have been involved.â
D-
âTrump is drifting towards a dangerous time in his on-the-job training as President. He's discovered war feels good and is popular.â
F
âI especially fear that my grandchildren and the younger generation will suffer the horrors of nuclear war.â
A+
âExcellent! Finally, a president to stand up to our enemies, rescue innocents, and protect our borders! And undo all of the damage from Obama!â
F
âI do not like his attitude toward Planned Parenthood. If he leaves funding up to the states, women in Texas will suffer due to our insufferable governor and his equally insufferable posse of right wing religious conservatives.â
F
âTrump continues to squander our money on trips to Mar Lago or the NY Trump Tower. I might as well take my money and flush it down the toilet.â
F
âHis incredible ignorance and refusal to seek knowledgeable counsel on foreign affairs (his son-in-law doesn't count!) leaves us more unsafe, open to attack, and increases the chances of another pointless war.â
A+
âAssad and his regime needed to be reprimanded for the atrocities he has committed on his people and we also needed to send a strong message to ISIS.â
F
âWe all know that the job of President is so much harder than it looks, but he has repeatedly said that 'Who knew 'X' (fill in the blank) was so hard?' This does not inspire confidence.â
A+
âI have already seen my business start to recover and no one will convince me it was from the last 8 years of Obama's policy where it shrank daily.â
F
âHis secretive ways and the way he is fleecing the taxpayer is horrendous.â
F
âTrump is showing his lack of qualifications more each day, as is his cabinet. He only is able to react, not to think things through and act like a statesman.â
F
âRefused to release his tax returns to the public. Must be hiding his financial interests with Russia.â

D
âHis decision making seems to be extemporaneous and emotional, not founded on (agency-based) intelligence, history, or a sound foreign policy. He is, quite literally, a loose cannon.â
A
âI agree with his foreign policy decisions. President Obama's 'Lead from Behind' approach was PR spin covering up weakness.â

âHe used the chemical attack in Syria to justify his dangerous and impulsive behavior.â
F
âHe put a man on the Supreme Court who lied and cheated in his previous work & is too smug to be impartial to do his constitutional duty.â
F
âHis administration is a train wreck. The only saving grace is that he has been ineffective in advancing some of his hateful policies that hurt average Americans.â

F
âAmerica needs to lead nations. But, Trump is proving to be the arrogant bully we all feared him to be, and he should be removed before he does any more damage.â
F
âRecently, I re-watched The Neverending Story. In the film, the villain shares his motives for destroying the world, 'People who have no hope are easily controlled. Whoever has the control has the power.' This statement had uncanny similarities to Trump's campaign and his performance in office.â

D-
âNo information of substance out of the summit with President Xi.â

âHe has shown Americans that he truly cares about the safety of the American people and innocent Muslim children who were viciously bombed with sarin gas.â
F
âSyrians need help, not war. It kills me that this country and its innocent civilians will be punished for their cruel dictator and our unhinged president.â
F
âThis week he showed his utter hypocrisy by weeping crocodile tears for Syrian children killed in a Sarin attack, yet maintaining a ban on them as refugees. Unforgivable.â
F
âTrump's maniacal tendencies are dangerous. He's willing to bomb Syria in the name of the children, but won't let Syrian refugees in our country. The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.â
A+

âHe made a wise speedy decision by going into Syria and bypassing Congress was part of it.â

âI have a running bet with a friend that he will be a one-year president.â
F
âThis horrific tragedy was used as an excuse to play with explosives, in desperate attempt to establish himself as a strong leader. He's not.â

âHow much real strategic thinking went into the decision to bomb the Syrian government or was it just a knee-jerk reaction? They have trained us to expect the worst.â
D
âThe attack on Susan Rice was embarrassing.â
F

âLittle care for the common good of the people of the U.S.â

âI am extremely concerned about the interference in our election by an unfriendly foreign power. Each week we see more and more evidence that this administration coordinated it, encouraged it or at least condoned it for their own gain.â

F
âAnother week where the President doubles-down on toothless, distracting accusations to cover egregious rollbacks of civic and environmental protections.â
F
âThe fact that nobody in Europe (or the World) has any idea what your president stands for is worrying to us all. We understand that he is an embarrassment to the U.S. right now, but he is actually very dangerous to us all.â

âDue to his continued disinterest in understanding the complexities of governing, President Trump proved this week that being a 'dealmaker' on reality television does not adequately prepare one for the realities of governing a divided party, let alone a deeply divided nation.â
F
âThe government is not a business and should not be run with a CEO type mentality.â
F
âPresident Trump showed little leadership on healthcare and then characteristically washed his hands of the bill and refused to take any responsibility for its failure.â
F
âThe president's budget may negatively impact a federal agency which I received a job offer for. The uncertainty with the budget makes me question if I should move halfway across the countryâ

A-
âNow the Democrats and liberals get to chant Trump's a loser, but in reality he's just fighting against a party that needs stronger congressional leaders.â
D-
âAt least they failed to repeal the ACA, but they killed 200 civilians in Mosul. Not okay. â
F
âThe FBI investigation into the Trump campaign is stunning. Mr. Trump has done nothing to assure the American people that he is not sympathetic to our old nemesis, the Russian Government. â
F
âFrankly, given how gloriously he failed on Friday, I really wanted to give the man an A+, if for no other reason, just to tell the old goat to keep up the bad work.â
D
âIronic how this shoot-from-the-lip president puts himself in a corner with dubious 'facts' and opinions that conflict with reality.â
F
âDonald Trump doesn't intentionally lie, he just doesn't have the ability to be accurate; this chronic inaccuracy renders him incompetent and dangerous.â

âAt least he's trying to fix Obamacare!!! When it implodes, thank the Democrats for installing it and voting against fixing it.â
F
âThe president continues to tweet imflammatory statements inciting division and outright lies, easily proven lies.â
F
âThis week, he was a terrible negotiator. He didn't get it done and his desire to 'win' made him seem more like a dictator than a president.â
D-
âThe president seemed to show a glimmer of good judgment by agreeing to pull the terrible health care bill.â
F
âA key week confirming to the world that the democracy in the US is alive and kicking and can not be bulldozed over by a single populist.â
F
âThe failure of Trumpcare has given me hope as an addictions therapist that there still may be treatment tomorrow. As a woman it gives me hope that I will not have to continue to fight for the same right over and over (reproductive rights/basic coverage rights) and can move on to equal pay.â
A+
âThere's nothing wrong with immigrants, my grandparents came here LEGALLY.â
A+
âIf we wanted a democratic agenda we would have elected Clinton.â
F

F
âA true leader would put the country before self as he has absolutely no concern for the human cost of his bravado.â
F
âHis decision to blame Democrats for the failure of his healthcare policy was the final straw for me...â
D-
âThe man is a snake oil salesman who's trying to ruin America from building up our military to cut cutting our social programs.â
D-
âEven his most ardent followers must be embarrassed.â
F
âHe is going to rob the poor, eliminate the middle class and help the super rich. Putin is pulling his strings.â
F
âHe has shown a complete inability to work with anyone who does not completely embrace his views. â
A+
âAlthough repeal and replacement of Obamacare did not happen, Donald Trump did a yeoman's job in trying to make it happen.â
D
âBy focusing on the needs of the country instead of himself, he could unite rather than divide. Yet he refuses.â
F
âI have major concerns about his refusal to release his tax returns. We need to know to whom he owes money! â
F
âHis willingness to sign whatever they passed, despite the cruelty and irresponsibility of the bill that nearly got a vote appalls me as a citizen. â
F
âHe only knows one style of management and that is he makes decisions and tries to bully people into submission.â
F
âOur president threatened to take his toys and go home, instead of working through the issues and getting it done.â
F
âHe says taxes are up next, which could help him save tens of millions each year.â
A+
âNope he didn't win a lot on health care, but the problem is he is up against a brick wall. Frankly, I'd be yelling.â
F
âHe talks about so many 'disasters' swirling around, but doesn't talk about the biggest disaster - himself!â
F
âTrump specializes in deals that make his life easier and his name bigger, not in making American lives better.â
D-
âA president should not attempt to govern his own people and his party via intimidation, media manipulation and/or strong-arm political bullying tactics. Unfortunately, those three tactics are all Trump is about and knows how to do.â
A
âThe Ryan reform was not what Trump wanted, so now, Rand Paul can put forth the better bill without making Trump look like he snubbed Ryan. Trump is smarter than given credit.â
F
âAfter no vote on AHCA, rather then pledging to make things better for the US, Trump wants to blame others.â
A
âCongress didn't get its act together--unforgivable--but not his fault.â
F
âAnytime a President says 'because I'm President and you're not,' it's a fail. Unbelievable! â
F
âBetween giving his daughter an unofficial office and place in the White House to the allegations of connections with Russia, to the fall through of the new Healthcare bill, he is unfit to be president. â
B+
âPresident Trump did fairly well this week. It's very disappointing that we have the Republicans and Democrats, two parties that put their egos first before the American people.â
F
âToo bad the voters can't call a board meeting and fire him.â
F
âTrump refusal to acknowledge he lied about wiretapping is an embarrassment to our nation.â
F
âTrump's failure to gut Affordable Care was 'yuge.'â
F
âFirst ever four-year lame duck president. Sad!â
F
âI was in Austin, Texas this past week. I could not count the number of the homeless (many vets). Who speaks for them? Not this president.â
F
âMore of the same. Trump simply can't do the job, and covers his inadequacy with defection, lies and 'fake news'. â
A+
âHe works hard, he is honest, and if it weren't for leftist judges and terrorist protestors, he'd get more done.â
D
âHe gets a 'D' instead of an 'F' because he acted slightly more presidential.â
F
âThe most offensive thing he said was after the vote, and has a familiar ring to it. 'Let Obamacare explode!' reminds me of 'Let them eat cake!'. â
F
âHe didn't even know what was in the AHCA.â
F
âHolding us hostage. Not mature.â
F
âWe lucked out on health care, but we still have to stop the attacks on the environment, the arts, insulting other nations, etc .â
D+
âHe lost the 'art of the deal' and may have derailed his agenda with not being able to pass healthcare reform.â
F
âHe continues to act like the CEO of his 'company' but this country is not HIS company.â
F
âThere were many ways Trump could have acted like a leader and master negotiator in the health care fiasco. But he utterly failed to do either...â
F
âColossal FAIL with his power to persuade his OWN party.â
F
âHis supporters now have proof the man they backed was, and is, a phony. Yet they back him solely based on their refusal to recognize they were duped.â
F
âI have Federal Employees Benefit Plan, just like Congress. But my daughter now has health insurance thanks to the ACA. I hope she can keep it.â
A
âInsurance via Obamacare is too expensive due to the governments regulations, so I appreciate President Trump's exhaustive efforts to change the direction with a new, market-oriented plan.â
F
âHe supported a plan opposite his campaign promise. He was willing to have anything pass so he could say he kept his promise.â
F
âHe lacks the ability to understand complexity of crafting legislation and doesn't have the temperament, wisdom and patience to negotiate with politicians of either his party or the opposition to build consensus.â
F
âNot even 10 weeks are in and the scandals are already of Watergate proportions.â
F
âHe doesn't want to Make America Great Again, he wants America to think HE'S great. â
F
âDonald Trump promised a good, great, wonderful health care plan. Failed. His campaign finance is compromised. Failed. His personal finances are also compromised. Basically, he fails to grasp how to be a president.â
F
â... And then he jets off on a mini vacation! Pisses me off we are paying his bills for this and also for Melania's bills to stay in her tower! Terrible squandering!â
F
âIt's almost worth Hillary having lost watching Trump choke on Obamacare. â
F
âHis inability to negotiate any kind of compelling bill for healthcare, only to give up when it didn't work out the first try, is a bad omen for his future desired legislation.â
F
âThe 'Art of the Deal' became the 'Art of the Steal' as in Trump tried to steal healthcare insurance from millions of Americans.â
F
âHearing about civilian deaths in Iraq - terrible. Wanting to repeal ACA instead of trying to fix it - terrible.â
C
âMy stepson has hemophilia. Repealing the ACA would have put him in financial peril at best and physical peril at worst.â
F
âHe's not exactly MAGAing.â
B+
âObamacare may not have been a perfect option or executed well, however, it was a start.â
D
âIn his efforts to rescind 'Obamacare', the expert deal-maker seemed to flip-flop on any given point in order to get crowing rights that he, personally, made the promise a reality.â
F
âPut all his political capital behind a vote on repealing and replacing Obamacare today and it totally failed. F for FAILURE!â
F
âMy family and community will be negatively affected by Roger Severino as head of civil rights of the department of health. His record on women's health and his deep discrimination against trans people put me, my daughter, and some of my closest friends at risk of losing our freedom and rights.â
F
âDonald's supposed to know about negotiation. He speaks only in hyperboles staking out extreme positions all to win exaggerated positions. That's not governing; that's bullying.â
F
âThe focus on fulfilling campaign promises leaves out critical thinking as were those promises sensible to begin with.â
F

F
âHe's worse than Nixon and that's saying something. He's worse because I think the actually believes his own lies, which makes him dangerous.â

F
âWill we just let our city freeze and starve?â
F
âHis disrespect of Angela Merkel was classless & pathetic. His tweets afterwards were even more so.â

F
âHaving worked in health care as a private provider for over 35 years I am truly disgusted with the lack of humanity and concern being shown by the president in supporting such poorly thought-out piece of legislation as his health care reform bill. Millions will lose health coverage.â

F
âFor everyone living in fear of his draconian and dictatorial immigration policies, my prayers are with you.â

F
âI'm a life-long Republican. Never have I been so disappointed and disgusted with the Republican Party as now.â

âAn environmental disaster in the making: In the Trump budget, the amount allotted for cleanup of Puget Sound is only $2 million. Currently the EPA spends $28 million a year on restoration and monitoring of the Sound.â

âThe president's continued accusation that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Towerâ this time, during a visit to Germanyâdemeans the office of the presidency in a way that is doubly destructive to the interests of the United States. â
A
âI'm so glad his budget starts to end the numerous failed government programs we have been forced to pay for.â
A-
âHe is doing everything we elected him to do, and I am confident he will knock Republican heads together to fix the healthcare bill before it is finalized. â
F
âFeels like I'm on a roller coaster that hasn't dipped up yet, only straight down at a fierce speed for the past 9 weeks.â
D-
âHis behavior towards Angela Merkel and Germany--longtime allies was shameful.â

F
âI am honestly trying NOT to give him a failing grade. It is embarrassing as an American. But my expression of failure is because...â
F
âI don't like war and our military is already bigger than the next 15 countries combined. Trumps budget offends my values.â

âCutting meals on wheels? Seriously? â
F
âClinton got impeached for lying, so should Trump.â

âI am 58, disabled and facing a hip replacement in the near future. The changes Trump and his cronies are talking about could make it difficult for people like me with health challenges.â
A
âDoing what he promised to do during his campaign. Refreshing and novel move for an elected official.â

âAHCA is not good enough for Americans. We need to fund the EPA, PBS and the NEA.â
F
âTrump owes Obama an apology.â
F
âThus far a total disaster for a president.â

âMake government boring again.'â

âUnwilling to admit lying about Obama wiretapping Trump Tower before the election.â

âI am an Army daughter, wife and now Mom. I woke up every morning under Bush II wondering who we were at war with today. It's making me sick now wondering when Trump is going to send kids to die for Putin in Syria. No more stupid wars!â
A-
âI think he's doing just fine.â
F
âThe EPA is a key resource regular Americans need to challenge the reckless behavior of powerful corporations. Absent regulations how can you fight for clear water? Or oppose toxic dumping?â

âIt makes me so uncomfortable the way that he has spoken about women, but that's only the beginning.â
F
âThis past week has been difficult as a physician. The ACA has helped me help my patients get patients the the right medications, the appropriate follow up and much needed nursing home care.â
F
âTakes credit for the work of the previous administration, and has spent more money in his first 100 days then Obama did in one year.â

F
âHis healthcare plan is a disaster for older Americans who worked their whole life and now must pay higher premiums for healthcare.â

âHe's handed the government to fellow billionaires, gives a neo-Nazi free rein in the White House, and is terrorizing immigrants. Sicko.â
A+
âHe tells it like it is.â
F
âHe's still unable to grasp the global and national significance of his personal and political moves and utterances.â
F
âHis repeated statements that the media is the enemy of the American people is chilling.â
D
âI'm a progressive and so far his best action was to appoint Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster as his new national security adviserâ
D+
âHe has made progress on his own agenda - which accounts for something at least. But he still skirts issues, ignores decency, battles with the press, and attempts to manipulate the public by his spin, untruths, and unruly style. â
A
âI liked his speech to CPAC. I would like to see more ICE raids.â
F
âI couldn't help but wish he would think about all the children that will grow up without a parent or without both parents.â
A
âConsidering all of the opposition he is receiving from the press and the left (same thing), it is amazing that anything is being done at all.â
F
âSpends too much time watching television and tweeting, too little time actually governing. â
D
âThe fighting with the press and the fake news allegations for printing the truth.â
F
âHe continues to persecute undocumented residents who are needed to work our agriculture industry.â
F
âThe coverup over Russia should lead to his impeachment...â
F
â45 continues to assault American institutions that are designed to check his power.â
D-
âI do not believe that reverting to isolationism is in the best interest of the country.â
F
âTrump has created an atmosphere of racial tension and divide with his immigration and Muslim vetting policies.â
A+
âHe is following through on his promises and despite agencies around him that are not doing their job at their fullest to provide information he is still doing his best to eliminate the illegal obstructions and find the truth and address it.â
D-
âAll we hear from Trump is self-promotion and vitriol toward the press, and from many of his appointees we hear 'walk-backs' or corrections. Is this any way to run the most powerful nation on Earth?â
F
âAs a country, we need to be unified in how we protect those in danger of discrimination.â
F
âThe president is 100% political, choosing to side with the fossil fuel industry against the health and well-being of the whole nation.â
F
âHe has done more to destroy our economy, our people, and our planet and to build hate and aggression than any U.S president, including Andrew Jackson, who extended slavery and stole land from Native Americans.â
F
âPoor thing.â
F
âI have Mexican and Middle Eastern family and I'm fearful of his policies on immigration and race. I have health problems and I am fearful of what he may do to the ACA and Medicare. I have 8 grandchildren and don't want to see voucher programs.â
F
âHis press conference and speech at CPAC where attendees waved Russian flags show that he is not fit to be President of the U.S. He is a national embarrassment. â
F
âHe has a white nationalist running his administration, whose stated goal is the end of the government as we know it. How has he helped anyone?â
F
âI was a Peace Corps V in a Muslim country - He is wrong to generalize.â
F
âAttacking the free press like some loathsome despot. Doubling down on easily verifiable lies, and staging a campaign rally a month into his term? Is he insane?â
D
âTrump's continued discrimination and divisive politics are dividing this country and humiliating us in the eyes of the world. â
F
âHis verbal attacks on the press, the other branches of government, and agencies in his own executive branch expose him as autocratic, yet ineffectual.â
D-
âWish I could give him an F but I know he's capable of doing worse so I left it at a D-.â
F
âThe threat of prosecuting recreational marijuana shows how little the administration understands about both that drug & the opioid addiction problem.â
F
âHe blames the national press for not telling the truth and yet the alt-right is always making up conspiracies.â
F
âOur president and his administration are not presenting alternative facts. They are openly lying to the American public.â
F
âThis is not North Korea and you are not a dictator. Get real, Donald. â
A-
âMy 401k is doing rather well right now and I would like to see this trend continue. â
F
âWhen a reporter has the temerity to call him out on a falsehood, he whines about 'fake news,' 'dishonest media,' and 'uninvites' that reporter from future press events.â
C+
âLet's get on with job growth and restoring economy.â
F
âHe and his national security staff seem to be saying opposite things.â
A+
âHe has absolutely delivered on his campaign promises to date amid greater opposition from lying press, congress, judicial, and militant protesters than arguably any other president in modern times.â
A+
âSometimes the truth hurts but it does not mitigate the fact that real citizens, mostly the middle class are suffering due to the inconsistencies with immigration policies.â
F
âHe seems to be a pathological liar and is surrounded by those unconcerned with the truth. Whether they're doing it purposefully and with malice or are somehow completely out of touch, it's extremely frightening.â
F
âI depend on Social Security and Medicare that I earned by working hard all my life. I see the possibility of that slipping away.â
F
âAccepting people who disagree with you or who show you in a light that you may not believe to be true is a part of the cost of being a leader. A good leader knows this and can shrug it off.â
F
âRescinding transgender protection, polluting streams, ramping up the assault on the media, trying to force intel positions and coerce the FBI into hiding his teams ties to Russia, all show a completely failed leader with no morals or ability.â
F
âI believe his deficit of apparent skills in international diplomacy are dangerous.â
F
âHis actions with the press suggest a bunker mentality. He thinks it makes him look strong. He actually looks weak.â
A-
âThe media is crying over the fact that Trump is taking it to them on a regular basis and they're overreacting in a hysterical manner.â
A+
âRefusing to be a defense welfare system for the E.U. is reasonable. Not fearing the press is overdue. â
F
âTrump's repeal of the transgender bathroom law along with the new immigration rules and push to build a wall are all despicable actions.â
F
âTrump's White House is blocking access to 'punish' award-winning news teams...â
F
âThese actions are something that you would expect form a dictator, not the president of a democratic nation.â
F
âHe continues to use language that marginalizes a number of American citizens. It reminds me of the language used to deny Jews entry into the U.S. during World War II.â
D-
âOnly reason not an F, good pick on Flynn replacement.â
F
âI always thought nobody would be worse than Bush, but here we are.â
F
âOne of my employees was picked up by ICE. He's not a criminal.â
F
âUntil he releases his taxes, I am suspicious of conflicts of interest and ties to the Russian government.â
D
âNews of possibly cutting PBS, NPR, and the NEA to build a wall and expand our military is so depressing.â
F
âHis continued destruction of the EPA and environment, his abandonment of the LGBT community, his assault on Muslims, his slow response of the hate crimes to the Jewish community.â
F
âWhen will we wake up? When does this nightmare end? Trump and Co have no idea how to improve America. Only how to destroy it and remove 'undesirables.'â
F
âI'm for clean air and water, protecting people's health and well-being, protecting the environment and wildlife. Everything he's done or tried to do has gone against this.â
F
âAs a transgender woman, seeing Trump rescind the Obama-era directives on which restroom I can use was an attack on my community.â
D+
âI feel so dumb that I voted for him.â
F
âIt is beyond my comprehension that a person occupying the office of President of the United States feels he has the right to behave as he has.â
F
âHis disregard for facts is inexcusable for a president.â
A+
âCalifornia Democratic politicians have proven they want illegal aliens for political power. ENOUGH!â
F
âHe needs to resign, before he commits an impeachable offense.â
F
âInterfering with the FBI is something we should be outraged about but I guess that's something many people have lost.â
F
âI'm 65, have never been politically active and always been proud of my country but for the first time I am mortified to be American.â
F
âDJT: Stop sparring with the press - let them do their job while you do yours! Democracy depends on a free press.â
A+
âGotta give props for a president who listens to the people.â
F
âI truly do not believe the knows he is lying. I truly do not believe he knows the difference between reality and nonsense.â
F
âHe acts like a mean-tempered 13-year-old.â
F
âStanding Rock is in total destruction. And that's just the start.â
F
âI think it is a travesty that he has banned certain news outlets. The public needs to hear both sides. I feel every American should be outraged no matter how they voted.â
F
âTrump's banning major news outlets from the press conference today is making this a very dangerous country to live in.â
A+
âDeporting law breaking illegal migrants is something that should have been done ages ago. It went on too long.â
F
âHe cannot communicate his goals in detail.â
F
âI'm fed up past my eyeballs with Trump's daily throwing of dead cats on the table to distract America from his ineptitude.â
F
âWe need a free press if we are to remain a democracy and not become a dictatorship.â
F
âHis racist policies are bringing out the worst in the white Supremacists.â
F
âEvery week there is at least one disaster, always some drama that is unprecedented and unseemly.â
F
âAll patriotic Americans should demand his removal.â
F
âExcluding certain news agencies from Friday's briefing was another sign of frightening authoritarianism, an an assault in he First Amendment.â
F
âHe rolled back protections for trans students, he restricted legitimate news organizations access to the White House, he's lied over and over again...â
F
âTrump's rhetoric continues to be hate-based, biased, non-inclusive.â
F
âThe continued erosion of freedom, the priority of business and greed over the environment, and portraying the media as an enemy of the USA. Fail!â
B+
âHe goes from an A- to a B+ because of his lack of ability to convince the liberal minority that his policies are not hate filled. If you wanted more open legal immigration, then why were few efforts made to change the laws related to such matters?â
F
âThe president signed an executive order rescinding the rights of transgender children to use a restroom they identify with, how cruel.â
D
âHis rollback of transgender rights is offensive, but he sure knows how to rally the people who already support him at CPAC. â
F
âWe are insulated from his horrors, with the exception of seeing a DACA protected young father picked up my ICE.â
F
âHe just says he has these plans and never actually shows what these plans are.â
F
âAddressing climate change is the one thing we can't afford miss, and putting Scott Pruitt in the EPA just did that.â
F
âDonny the Showman has leveraged ignorant voters on very simplistic terms for personal gain.â
A-
âPersistence on calling out the mainstream media is a first among presidents and for those in the GOP a welcome change.â
F
âHe still talks victory yet fails to act on antisemitic/hate crime in our country.â
F
âThe reversal of some of the policies enacted under the Obama Administration are a cause of concern for me.â
A+
âI am ecstatic about the reversal of the transgender bathroom policy. â
F
âHe has done nothing to help people. He dodges hard questions, and just talks about what he thinks is great about himself.â
F
âHe demonizes immigrants and seeks to appoint to high office people who are not fit to serve.â
F
âThe press is not our enemy.â
F
âI am very concerned about the ties to Russia and his statements about the Middle East...â
F
âDo not attack the freedom of the press. While I agree there is bias in our media, they are not our enemy.â
F
âIf he is such a good president, why is he afraid of the press reporting his words and actions?â
A
âI hope President Trump can stop California from becoming a sanctuary state.â
F
âBibi laughs because it's so clear Trump has absolutely no idea what the one-state or two-state solution is!â
F
âFrom inflammatory language, careless and frequent lies, breeches of security, absurd trips to his richly-rich safe zone weekend retreat...â
F
âHis VP has had to go on an apology tour of Europe to assure our allies.â
A
âThere seems to be a taboo about what a president should and should not say and the fact that he says the things everyone is thinking is brilliant and refreshing!â
F
âI am concerned that he's hiding foreign ties and making our country vulnerable by his ignorance and lack of diplomacyâ
F
âHasn't 'drained the swamp', but has instead stocked it with the meanest, most nasty swamp critters he could find.â
F
âHis attack on the mainstream media by trying to delegitimize our news sources is what dictators do.â
D-
âMr. Trump lacks the necessary skill at political leadership.â
F
âHe is a loose cannon that that the Republicans both fear and encourage in order to further their own personal agendas.â
F
âThe man knows nothing about anything of any substance so he spews nonsense and lies and blames others (the media) for his ignorance and failings. â
F
âIt couldn't be worse. Flynn resigns, the immigration ban, his crazed press conference...â
A+
âPresident Trump is the most efficient president we have had since, well ever!â
A
âIt would be nice if people would listen to him and give him a chance as we did President Obama.â
F
âTelling false stories about non-existent terrorist attacks is irresponsible.â
B-
âThe media only shows the bad not the good.â
D-
âI am especially concerned about the 'Russian' issue and also the background and suitability of the choices he has made for the top governmental positions.â
F
âFreedom of the press is the benchmark of democracy, and Senator McCain called him out on it.â
D-
âThe press conference Thursday was disturbing...â
F
âBarely holding onto reality, I mean, 'Sweden'? Really?â
A+
âThe press is not evil. The press is, however, ineffective in their reporting duties. This is what Trump is calling out, but as usual the media is blinded to themselves.â
F
âTrumpâs brazen and unconventional approach to leading the country is diverting attention away from policy issues that matter and have visceral effects on the livelihood of people.â
F
âMercurial behavior is threatening economic stability; managerial obliviousness is endangering national security...â
F
âFor a man that is so concerned with the truth, he does an awful job finding it.â
A-
âI'm liking how he's standing up a biased media by using 21st Century tech.â
F
âHe is hateful and revengeful as evidenced in the way he treats minorities, women and his attitude towards LGBTQ folks.â
F
âThis feels like Germany in 1933.â
F
âTrump's assertion that the press is somehow the enemy of the American people is staggering. It is no more our enemy than the juduciary, the congress, or the president himself.â
D-
âThe so-called president needs to get over his Electoral College victory and actually act as if he is president.â
F
âHe comes across as an authoritarian, attacking our vital liberties, whipping his followers into a frenzy that threatens freedom of religion and press.â
F
âIt's ridiculous that Pence met with world leaders while Trump was 'campaigning' in a region where he had a base of fans to stroke his ego.â
F
âThe man who has stepped into the most important job in the world is even laughed at by my 13- and 15-year old boys who so easily recognize how ignorant, narcissistic and conniving this person is.â
A-
âMr. Trump has remained presidential in the face of incorrect news stories and commentary by incompetents posing as news reporters.â
F
âI pity the mess our grand children are inheriting.â
F
âHe spends more time committed to faking the news about his inauguration numbers, and fails at all the important things he should be concerned about. â
F
âHis inability to be properly informed prior to opening his mouth is a national embarrassment.â
A+
âNow for once in 43 years, somebody I supported and voted for is doing what he promised.â
F
âTrump continues to lie about almost everything, while appointing people and talking up policies which will, almost without exception, harm the very demographic that elected him...â
D+
âTrump has been far more irresponsibly inaccurate in his tweets, speeches, and responses, than the media.â
F
âHe continues to do things for sheer shock value, regardless of how devastating they are for our long-term safety.â
F
âThe President of the United States does not appear to know the difference between fact and fiction. A greater concern is that he doesn't appear to care!â
F
âHis collusion with Russia, disrespect for American ideals, and attacks on the media are deeply concerning.â
F
âHe has made promises that he has not kept, but used 'puff' tactic executive orders to fool the American public.â
A-
âTotally support his continuing pushback on the media. Their needs to be a course correction from the fake news and news from a political agenda.â
F
âTrump's cabinet picks are nightmarish. I am old enough to remember growing up in Cleveland, OH where the Cuyahoga River caught fire in the late 60's due to pollution.â
F
âHe doesn't act like a president - too petty, pedestrian and still in campaign mode.â
F
âHis policies and cabinet picks seem to move in exactly the opposite direction of what I hope for America.â
F
âThis week, our darling President called the media the 'enemies of the American people'. He also upgraded CNN from 'fake news' to 'very fake news'. Is this real life?â
F
âObamaCare. TrumpDon't. â
F
âHis ill-advised policies are scattershot on all mattersâ
F
âHis failure to manage the White House, and specifically the situation vis a vis Russian involvement in the election is alarming.â
F
âI'm a libertarian. I didn't vote for him, but I had hope once he was in. I held out on saying anything bad after the election until now. That presser was awful.â
F
âThrough inarticulate, uneducated and untruthful communications focused on self-aggrandisement, Mr Trump has demonstrated a complete inability to provide the stable, thoughtful and wise leadership a seriously divided country desperately needs. â
F
âInherited a mess? He's created the mess. Don't blame Obama. That's a cop out. â
A
âA for communicating directly with the American people, A for handling adversity, and an A for continuing to meet with industry and focus on jobs.â
D
âPresident Trump has managed to hire the least experienced, ethical, and informed cabinet, while firing/eliminating those civil servants that might have served as a valuable sounding board for furthering his platform in a democratic way.â
F
âWe are not afraid of change. We're afraid of a dictatorship.â
F
âAnyone who makes the press the enemy, especially in a country with the freedom of the press is a failure as president and as a human being. Disgusting.â
D-
âHis press conference was what I call his King Lear Moment, but he has not blown up the world or started a war yet.â
F
âNothing of substance spelled out at all in his rambling at press conference.â
F
âI am an immigrant from a former Iron Curtain country that was invaded by the Russians in 1956, and was occupied by Russian forces until 1989. Seeing the White House - led by my president - cozy up to the Russians makes me shudder. â
A+
âTrump is confronting the liberal media, which ignores the ideas and rights of the conservatives and chooses to attack with names...â
F
âHis attempts to thwart the proper rule of law warrant severe punishment.â
F
âHis choice of cabinet members, especially Stephen Bannon as senior advisor, make me frightened!â
F
âHis attack of the media 'fake news' is delusional.â
F
âThe lack acknowledgement of facts and science on Googleable items will make it impossible for this administration to be believed about anything.â
F
âHis governance by Tweet serves only to confuse allies and adversaries alike.â
F
âTrump's focus is to find enemies to replace Hillary Clinton.â
F
âHis temperament is a MAJOR problem. Shouldn't be a surprise, given that he was a Chaos Candidate. Now the 62,979,879 Americans who voted for him stuck with a SORE winner.â
F
âHe states the press is the enemy of the people. The press is the only thing we have to protect us since the Republican majority in Congress refuses to do so.â
F
âHis ongoing fight with journalists simply makes it harder for us as a nation to have a civil discourse...â
C
âTrump needs to cancel his Twitter account. I find it unpresidential, to respond to every little incident.â
F
âHe is doing private business and making personal financial gains while supposedly serving exclusively in public office.â
F
âIt is not the United States of Trump, it is the United Staes of America.â
F
âAnd he still hasn't released his tax returns.â
F
âTrump's crackdown on the press and dissidents mirrors Putin's, not coincidentally.â
F
âI have seen nothing positive in his first month in office.â
F
âTrump's only contribution is to energize citizens to vote in future elections.â
F
âHe is trying to undermine the credibility of the media so all we have is propaganda from Steve Bannon.â
F
âHe wastes our money going to Florida every weekend.â
F
âAlmost all his floundering could be rectified if he would simply listen attentively to those who know so much more than he does.â
F
âHe is the embodiment of corruption and privilege...â
A+
âI am a millennial, Hispanic, educated voter who was tired of seeing his country move towards a leftist utopia...â
F
âHe is still campaigning, instead of learning how to govern.â
F
âHe blames all of his problems on everyone except himself.â
F
âThank goodness for Merkel and Trudeau.â
A+
âI may not agree with him, but anytime a politician keeps his promises I admire that.â
F
âTrump sows the seeds of mistrust against the media to cover his false statements and misrepresentations.â
F
âA president who accuses the media of being an enemy and therefore questions a fundamental value of the country doesn't deserve anything else but an F. â
F
âFor someone who is so quick to label reporters as writing 'fake news,' Trump has little interest in the truth.â
F
âI don't know how anyone could even dream of excusing his behavior.â
F
âHe's not governing, he's just continuing to campaign on promises and trying to follow through with them to keep his base in line.â
F
âHe's shown that he's ethically unfit to be president by declaring war on the First Amendment...â
F
âI can just see Kim Jong Un laughing hysterically at the chaos on display.â
F
âHis attacks on the media worry me a great deal. The people who voted for him believe him, not the truth.â
F
âTrump is unable to tell the truth.â
F
âI work with autistic children in a California public school program. Neither DeVos nor Gorsuch will protect the rights of children with disabilities.â
F
âHe continues to do nothing but advance crony capitalism.â
F
âI am a licensed mental health counselor. Many therapists are breaking the Goldwater rule to acknowledge that this man suffers from a mental illness and is not fit for the presidency. There is a larger moral imperative at stake.â
F
âI'm buying guns and ammo for protection from right-wing nuts he is stirring up.â
F
âAs a Social Worker working in the ER in an urban city, I deal with the most vulnerable people in this country. Mr. Trump's agenda has not only frightened people, but has done a disservice to them.â
B-
âHis press conference was off message which earned the B-.â
F
âThe idea of potentially using the National Guard to enforce immigration policies is bad in so many ways. That they even considered it is truly frightening.â
F
âMany of my students come from immigrant families. I do not want them living in fear, but the recent ICE raids do nothing but create fear among our hard-working community members.â
F
âScott Pruitt, who has sued the environmental department he will be heading? No, F. â
F
âThe White House has been thrown into total chaos and rather than address the issues surrounding it, Mr. Trump got busy creating distractions and diverting attention by essentially campaigning again.â
F
âTrump continues to act like the campaign is still on, looking around for anyone to hate or compare his performance to, all at the expense of running this country.â
F
âThis man is the embodiment of failure. He is unable to articulate any policy except that he will 'make things great again'â
D-
âWe know he won, and now we are beginning to understand how he did it.â
F
âF' is for frightening. Trump has caused more stress to more people than a president should be allowed to do. He and his gang of thieves are setting themselves up to rip us all off in a major way.â
F
âThe only thing Trump really cares about is his ego.â
F
âThe administration's only goal seems to get rid of all of social programs created since the 1960's.â
F
âI wouldn't want him on my school board, much less holding the presidency.â
D-
âKudos for rescinding the ridiculous travel ban.â
A+
âPeople need to grow up and listen! Quit protesting like children.â
F
âI had hoped to live my entire life without reading about refugees fleeing from the United States. Alas.â
F
âI have gone back to the fearful state of my childhood thinking that everyone needs a bomb-shelter in their backyard even though it won't do any good.â
F
âHe slammed President Obama for taking vacations and golfing frequently, yet here he is, only a few weeks into office, and he's already been to Florida three times.â
F
âThe issues with Russia makes me doubt the legitimacy of his presidency.â
F
âHe managed to insult, condescend, incite and accuse nearly every reporter in the room, whilst never providing an actual, factual answer.â
D+
âAs an (former) educator, Donny is still having trouble controlling his temper and staying focused.â
F
âICE raids without due process are terrifying and I'm a citizen.â
D
âHe needs to stop responding to every attack. It makes him look weak.â
F
âI have a family. Will they be ok? I ask myself that question now.â
A+
âHe is an amazing leader. My whole family thinks he is the leader we should have.â
F
âLet's see something about jobs. Let's see something about the economy. Instead all we get is rhetoric and finger pointing...â
F
âHis chronic need for adoration has become ridiculous.â
F
âWe have a chance with the House, Senate and Presidency and he is blowing his political capital defending obvious collusion with Russia and the size of his inauguration crowd.â
F
âWhen Trump was elected, my mother expressed fear of deportation. I initially considered that unlikely, but now I am not so sure.â
F
âShow the tax returns. This lack of transparency certainly conceals conflicts of interest.â
D
âI agree with removing criminals here illegally but targeting and raiding local communities is harassment and abuse of federal power.â
F
âHe held the most bizarre press conference that has ever been held in recent time.â
F
â45 and all his cabinet picks are ruthless. Their concerns are only for making themselves more money and keeping the rest of U.S. far below them.â
F
âHe did not handle Flynn well (instead he let him become NSA head knowing about his Russian contacts.â
F
âIf Trump destroys these programs [Medicare or Social Security], we will be on the streets with millions of other people in the same situation or dead.â
F
âTrump's narcissism was on full display at his press conference on Thursday.â
F
âHe is busy with covering up his crimes using tons of distraction, denial, blaming and obfuscation. â
F
âTrump's immigration policies have left almost all of my friends and family in a state of trauma. We live with the constant fear of ICE officials detaining or arresting us for looking 'illegal.'â
F
âI'm about to lose my health insurance and last year I was diagnosed with cancer. I can't be the only person this is happening to.â
F
âIf I could give him an infinite exponent on that F grade, I would.â
F
âUnless he's trying to destroy the U.S., he is doing a horrible job.â
F
âIt feels like we've regressed 100 years!â
F
âHe continues to show that his only skill is speaking loudly.â
F
âI think his rhetoric is dangerous and divisive.â
F
âFreedom of the press is Trump's focus, and he will destroy it, as did Hitler.â
F
âIf he says that all the press tells is fake news often enough, people will begin to believe it.â
F
â... clearly has almost no grasp of what nuclear weapons are and their profound danger.â
F
âScott Pruitt. REALLY?â
A
âHe's doing what he was elected to do. The news media is completely out of touch.â
F
âFlynn and Russia working together is a larger ethics violation than Watergate. It needs to be investigated for the safety and welfare of our country.â
F
âMr. Trump seems to be more driven by ego than by an interest in developing an honest, empathetic government.â
F
âThis week and today, I worry most about friends affected by his immigration position and raids.â
F
âEvery one of Trump's cabinet picks is either completely inexperienced (Carson, DeVos, Perry) or openly hostile towards the department they are to lead.â
A
âPresident Trump explained his actions clearly and in sufficient detail.â
F
âTrump gets an F just for getting out of bed. â
F
âDonald has a sickening and disturbing need to deflect all questions about his poor performance and insanely unqualified Cabinet members by claiming that everything is the media's fault.â
A-
âI like Trump's emphasis on jobs, cutting regulation, lowering taxes for everyone and businesses.â
F
âHis rambling hour-long speech where he is trying to discredit news agencies and indisputable facts is scary!â
F
âI am a teacher, I am a human being, his policies hurt my job and my life and the lives of my children.â
F
âHe maligned the free press, appointed someone to the EPA who advocates for policies that will do irreparable harm to our earth...â
F
âAn unhinged press conference? I want a president who is presidential.â
D
âMy friends have started a pool to determine just how long the President will last before he resigns, is impeached, or indicted. â
D
âHe does not have a good value system or strategy. He is all bluster.â
F
âMy husband will be deploying for sev. months this summer to Afghanistan. I am worried even more for his safety this time.â
B
âHad to deduct for press handling.â
A
âChange is not easy, not all change will be good, but the current course was moving wealth to the elites, crushing the middle class, bombing countries in the Middle East and not solving major issues like health care.â
A+
âTrump hit a few bumps on the highway to Trumpland, but he's on his merry way.â
F
âAll his chaos is deliberately planned to distract from his business scandals and from the Republicans dealings in the Senate and House.â
F
âHis refusal to be transparent about his and others' ties to Russia is a deep concern.â
F
