I can hear DUFFY stewing...

Well, it's obviously Congress' fault. If they had sent Trump enough bills, he could've easily surpassed that puny peanut-farming nukular engineer Carter.

Oh, and Trump's bills were bigger, too. They're so massively 'uge each one counts for at least 3 Bush bills.

     meh, Trump continues to fall short of his rhetoric, not a new story, but he does deserve abuse for his never-ending exaggerations. OTOH, he has had a better year than I would have expected, and the Tax bill included drilling in ANWAR and repeal of the ACA mandate, so you can count it as a three-fer! (My take is he got a gift on that one because the pub congress realized they had to pass it for themselves)

I'm old enough to remember when claiming the President was some sort of liar was considered Taliban terrorism!

I'm also old enough to remember when dissent was the highest form of patriotism, and then when dissent became the basest form of treason, before polymorphing once again to the highest form of patriotism.


I wonder what accounts for these whipsaw changes?! ;-)

"Politics is just show business for ugly people."

No surprise here. But if he eventually ever gets his facts straight and tells the truth then that will be a shocker.

I find it odd when President’s are judged by the number of bills passed without consideration for the quality or even if the bill is good for anyone other than a select group.

I was thinking the same thing. Why the quantity over quality bragging. Who cares how many bills he has signed? Supporters or detractors. Strange topic.

Because to Trump size matters and bigger is better.

Be kind English is my 2nd language. My primary language is Dave it's a unique evolution of English.

And let me tell you, there's no issue in the size department, right? ;-)

"Politics is just show business for ugly people."

Legislators based their success on whether or not legislation is passed. I doesn’t really matter what the legislation is.

It’s sort of like when some law or laws are violated on a massive scale (cough cough, immigration) and then we get legislators calling for new laws to be passed to address the problem rather than just enforcing existing laws.

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

It's important to note whenever Trump is quoting numbers, of any kind that he's almost ALWAYS wrong with the numbers, and that there is a strong tendency (again almost always) to exaggerate numbers to make him or the GOP look better.

As I always do I turn this around into questions - Do Trump supporters/voters not care about accuracy, of important numbers, or that the man in the highest office in the land, and one of the most powerful man in the world, is always wrong with numbers and almost always exaggerates those numbers to make him look better?? You are OK with all that? This level of total inaccuracy, ineptitude, non-stop boasting, and exaggeration (and lying) for highly elected officials is OK?

If James Earl Carter is the leader in numbers then we know that less is better.
