I think he's stumbled but he hasn't really done anything yet.

In the process of trying to move quickly to keep his promises to the American People, the Trump Administration has overlooked some of the coordination and consultation necessary in the Washington environment. This provided ammunition for the Liberal-Socialist Democrats to bash them at every turn. On the other hand, I love it! He is the first politician in my lifetime who actually stepped up and tried to fulfill his campaign promises in a straight forward and meaningful way.

Compared to the last 8 to 10 administrations I would say the first 30 days have not gone at all well. I won't say an unmitigated disaster but certainly on the verge of being one. First is to have you have your national security advisor be fired in the first 30 days. That is a record. Second is that the administration is on the verge of being investigated regarding interactions with Russia. No other administration has had a scandal that fast. Another record. Third is mishandling of several interactions with close allies such as Canada, the UK and Australia, plus the miss-steps with Mexico. It will be tough down the road to do things if several of our allies are unwilling to help.

I wont give a grade yet for the disarray in the west wing as that is understandable in any new administration just as I won't give a grade yet on interactions with the press by the press secretary as that takes time to sort out as well. But I will say both are on a negative trajectory which is not good.

The cabinet confirmations I think are on par with most other administrations. They are tough for either party.

Finally, the whole "fake news" thing, the constant twitter attacks, and constantly brining up that that he won the election but getting several well documented facts wrong is bizarre and not a positive sign.

I figure an F would mean a war or he runs down Pennsylvania Avenue naked or something. I give him a D for his constant lies and delicate sensibilities. Worrying so much about ridiculous things. I don't know why he's on the campaign trail already. Very strange month indeed.

Immigration EO badly executed. The rest of his problems can be attributed to Democrat obstruction. That worked out well for Tom Daschle.

Overall I would give him a B. He needs to get off twitter. He needs to consult and listen to his people a little more.

He gets an F because he has done absolutely nothing. All his EOs are nothing but fluff and the one (immigration) that he actually tried to implement was rejected by the courts. In the words of Vice Admiral Harward it's a "shit show."

I would give him a B- or C+. A lot of this is new to him and the learning curve is non-existent. The media jumps if he farts in public complaining of global warming. No President has been scrutinized as much as he has.

Looks like the B's have it. I'd have given Trump higher marks if he had been more attentive to his wife and if he had not gotten in the weeds twittering jabs at people who offended him. He needs to learn how to let stuff roll off without taking personal offense to criticism. No matter what, the snowflakes will be whining from their safe spaces, so why even bother. The public sees what's going on and he would do best to rise above and ignore them. I trust he's a quick study and can learn from his mistakes, which have been relatively minor in the grand scheme. While he has room to improve, I am confident he will continue to grow into his shoes... So far, Trump has kept his promises and is working hard to deliver the goods. And he has managed to accomplish quite a bit despite having to deal with a hostile press and overly critical bunch of sore losers that can't seem to remember any of Obama's mistakes when Obama was in his first 100 days.

The longer and louder his detractors whine, the more irrelevant they become.

I am going A- only because the EO on visa was stopped by the liberal court. That was a tactical error.

I give him a D since he spends too much time patting himself on the back, and engaging in a pissing contest with the media. There are more important things he should be doing.

The media did not discuss how president Trump did well with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I posted a story on rallypoint last week.

If the Main Street media in the USA missed, it the Canadian media did not!

This conservative Canadian paper gave a good story concerning their prime minister Justin Trudeau. Maybe this should be an indication to Hardline Democrats using the Tea Party tactics that schmoozing can get you everywhere and militancy gets you nowhere.

B. He has done some things that he has promised and has done better then other presidents but he has had some real problems that have not been overcome.

I will give him an "A" especially considering the wait for his cabinet to get approved and having to fight with the democrats and the media every single day. He has gotten a lot done in 30 days and I agree with all of it. That doesn't mean I always will but his is hitting on key promises made. Some of this was fairly easy and could be done with EO's. Some will require legislation (Obamacare repeal/replace).

Only going with an "A" because of the last 8 years of nothingness by the past President. If not for that I would have rated him a "B' for his wacky rants and Twittering which have not only been unproductive, but I believe have been counter-productive to all the good things he has done. He needs less talky and more doing.

I give him a B. There is ALWAYS room for improvement. I am still waiting to see how he works with Congress. He can't EO his way through every issue. He has to work with both houses, and they have to work with him. Those who choose not to work within the framework of the Constitution are simply demonstrating that they are in it for selfish reasons, not selfless service to the country.

HE needs to get that SCOTUS nominee going, get some tax cuts going, and find and prosecute the leakers in DC. Go get them Orange Man! and may the EO be with you!

An obvious F. If people have been paying attention the last 30 days then no justification or explanation should really be needed

I'm going to say B for the simple reason that he's doing what he set out to do. Whether you agree or disagree with him, it can't be denied that he's trying to fulfill as many campaign promises as possible.

I will not give him or anyone an A simply because I believe there is always room for improvement.
