As he’s neared his 100th day in office, President Trump has dismissed the milestone as meaningless.
In interviews, Trump has called the 100-day marker an “artificial barrier” and a “ridiculous standard,” perhaps in part because he’s faced setbacks on some of his signature issues.
So far, Trump’s three biggest setbacks have been on a stalled effort to ban travel from several Muslim-majority countries, a failed bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act and ongoing investigations into Russian meddling in the election.
He’s also faced a number of smaller setbacks, including a $25 million settlement on a lawsuit...

Remember the date — February 16, 2017. It’s one for the history books, the day that an American president gave a public performance so nutty, so bizarre, so full of malignant narcissism and wild invention that it boggles the mind and rattles the teeth. In a 77-minute rant, Donald Trump defended his madcap administration as entirely sane, as if the firing of Mike Flynn, the collapse of Andrew Puzder’s cabinet candidacy, the ethics violation of Kellyanne Conway, the sinister stylings of Steve Bannon’s executive orders, the fight with the intelligence community, the battle with the judiciary, the posturing againt the.

President Donald Trump took to Twitter to congratulate himself for his Thursday press conference, citing conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
Trump called his first solo press conference as president to announce his new pick for labor secretary, Alexander Acosta, after his first pick, embattled fast-food executive Andrew Puzder, withdrew on Wednesday. It turned into a sparring match between Trump and members of the media, lasting over an hour.
“Thank you for all of the nice statements on the Press Conference yesterday,” the president wrote on Twitter Friday morning. “Rush Limbaugh said one of greatest ever. Fake media not happy!

Celebrities including J.K. Rowling, Alec Baldwin and Josh Gad are up in arms on Twitter after President Donald Trump held a combative, marathon White House press conference on Thursday in which he accused America’s news media of being “out of control.”
The president called the press conference to announce his new pick for labor secretary, Alexander Acosta, after his first pick, embattled fast-food executive Andrew Puzder, withdrew on Wednesday.
But the presser quickly went off the rails as Trump switched gears to vehemently defend his presidency and lash out at the “dishonest” press for publishing “fake news,” including about his Russia scandal.

It took Politico’s Marianne Levine and Timothy Noah more than two months digging through around 90 “Oprah” episodes on two different coasts to finally strike gold. But when they did, it led to the first Trump administration Cabinet nominee to withdraw from consideration. Andrew Puzder — CEO of Cke Restaurants, the parent company of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. — was firmly on track to become Labor Secretary until Levine uncovered a 27-year-old “Oprah” episode about high-profile domestic violence victims, which featured his ex-wife Lisa Fierstein.

President Donald Trump selected Alexander Acosta as his choice for labor secretary during a press conference on Thursday afternoon, making him the first Hispanic member of Trump’s cabinet if he’s confirmed. Acosta is an attorney who has worked in government in the past. Andrew Puzder — CEO of the Cke Restaurants fast-food chain, owner of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. — recently withdrew his name from consideration for the same position. Acosta was assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division under President George W. Bush and is expected to get confirmed fairly easily in comparison to other Trump nominees.

Donald Trump’s cabinet picks have been coming under more and more fire of late — this week he came close to literally fulfilling an “Idiocracy” prophecy by selecting Carl’s Jr. CEO Andy Puzder as Secretary of Labor — so of course “Saturday Night Live” took aim at the president-elect during last night’s cold open. In it, an unconventional (but at this point, not entirely surprising) pick for head of the DEA was revealed: Walter White, the meth kingpin played by Bryan Cranston on “Breaking Bad.”
