It's not a perfect measure, but it's a useful one—the 100-day standard for gauging presidential effectiveness. The underlying truth is that presidents tend to be most effective when they first take office, when their leadership style seems fresh and new, when the aura of victory is still powerful, and when their impact on Congress is usually at its height. There is nothing magic about the number, and many presidential aides over the years have complained that it is an artificial yardstick. But it has been used by the public, the media, and scholars as a gauge of presidential success and activism since Franklin D. Roosevelt pioneered the 100-day concept when he took office in 1933.

Thought I'd post this on it's own thread because certain folks want to drag up more comparisons that liken Trump to Reagan.

This, folks, is what a successful first 100 days looks like. Reagan makes Trump look like amateur hour.

Stop comparing Trump to Reagan. It's night and day.
