Much has been said to over-rate Trump and the damage Biden by the Right wing followers of the failed POTUS...
A glance down he list of threads all abuse Biden with "fake news" and severe bias.
But the measure of a Pres or PM is achievement of promises.
In sum, Trump managed to provoke warmongering while Biden has go on with healing the wounds left by Trump, including dealing with COVID and serving the community by quickly developing a vaccination plan and gaining co-operation with the States so that the new cases and mortality rates have fallen dramatically. Still though US total cases and deaths are the No.1 around the world (thanks Trump).
Readers may claim that this report is biased, especially as it is lifted from the ABC.... but hey a little bias to balance the extreme hatred of Righties is ok.
Trump approved dropping the "mother of all bombs" on Islamic State militants in eastern Afghanistan. And he launched airstrikes against Syria in response to chemical weapons attacks — while enjoying a piece of chocolate cake at his Mar-a-Lago resort with Chinese President Xi Jinping.The Russia investigation was also ever-present, with his newly confirmed attorney-general Jeff Sessions recusing himself from the investigation (a move Trump reportedly called "disloyal").
Trump failed to pass a significant piece of legislation in his first 100 days. A bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (known as Obamacare) fell apart and was pulled from the House after it failed to win support from Republicans.
It meant that Trump's first 100 days were defined by the actions he took on his own — 24 executive orders, 22 presidential memoranda and 20 presidential proclamations.
That includes arguably his greatest success in his early days — fulfilling a campaign promise by nominating and confirming Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.Another campaign promise fulfilled was withdrawing America from the Trans Pacific Partnership.
At the end of his first 100 days, Trump had an approval rating of 41.9 per cent according to FiveThirtyEight's average. He ended his presidency at 38.6 per cent, becoming the first president in modern history to never reach 50 per cent approval in some major polls.
Just like his predecessor, Joe Biden started his time in the Oval Office with a list of promises for his first 100 days.The Associated Press says Biden has kept 24 of 61 promises he made for his first 100 days, and made progress on all but four of them.
One of the highest profile promises was to deliver 100 million coronavirus vaccine shots, which was later doubled to 200 million shots. Biden hit the target a week shy of the deadline.
Any American over the age of 16 is now eligible for a vaccination.
He also promised more broadly to get America's COVID-19 pandemic under control, with cases surging to all-time highs just before he took office. Biden signed 10 executive orders to do it, which included mass vaccination sites, more funding for states to ramp up vaccine rollouts and making vaccines available through local pharmacies.
And the policy Achilles Heel of the Democratic Party already reared its head, with immigration being at the centre of two of the biggest problems of Biden's early days in office.A surge in migrants at the US southern border left the administration scrambling to expand the capacity to house migrant children.
Biden was forced to walk back plans to lift the cap on refugees allowed to resettle in the US, breaking a campaign pledge and keeping in place the cap set by Trump.
Oh, and there was that minor snafu when Biden's dogs were removed (then brought back) from the White House after Major nipped a worker in the White House.
Just before the 100 day mark, Biden has a 53.3 per cent approval rating according to FiveThirtyEight's average.
