Dreadful, except for energy and disruption. About turns on China, Russia, disengagement (Syria), NATO, Iran,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump had failed to deliver on the actions he had promised throughout his 2016 election campaign, Shields pointed out.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy flexeril online <a href=\"https:\/\/drmasudjaved.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/flexeril.html\">https:\/\/drmasudjaved.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/flexeril.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Judging by his own 100-day contract, which had 30 or so actions to complete, he has failed on everything except turning back regulations, deportations and TPP [Trans-Pacific Partnership] repeal. Including, of course, health care reform,&#8221; he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s general standard of selections to staff the top echelons of the US government had been exceptionally poor, Shields argued. &#8220;The Departments of Justice, Education and Housing and Urban development and the Environmental Protection Agency were all run by extremists,\u201d Shields said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Attorney-General Jeff] Sessions, [Education Secretary Betsy] de Vos, [Education Secretary Ben] Carson and [Environmental Protection Agency head Scott] Pruitt remain dangerous,&#8221; he warned.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2018s behavior during his first hundred days in office had been consistent and revealing, Shields observed.<\/p>\n<p>However, Trump had achieved many things during his first hundred days in office even if they turned out to be disastrous, Institute for Public Accuracy Communications Director Sam Husseini said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump has actually accomplished a great deal in his first 100 days. [He] has assembled a cabinet of Goldman Sachs and pro-war apparatchiks. He has\u2026 broken the letter and spirit of his promises to curtail US interventionism and war-making around the world and to take on Wall Street,&#8221; Husseini stated.<\/p>\n<p>It was remarkable that the US media and political system had allowed Trump to get away with so much, Husseini noted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a phenomenal accomplishment. He and much of the major media pose as being in conflict\u2026 but in those two issues: war and Wall Street, they share a common core that runs at odds with the aspirations and interests of much of US public, to say nothing of the global public,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Trump had also succeeded in getting Judge Neil Gorsuch appointed to the Supreme Court using the rhetoric of &#8220;pro-life&#8221; after which he had facilitated several executions, Husseini concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON \u2013US President Donald Trump has lacked any substantial achievement during his first 100 days in office and has widely &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":100378,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,1,17],"tags":[18341,18496],"class_list":["post-100376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-uncategorized","category-news-w","tag-first-100-days","tag-us-president-donald-trump","mauthors-sputnik-via-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100376"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100376\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":285900,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100376\/revisions\/285900"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
