Having trouble making America "great" again, Trump?

According to Time Politics, Zeke J. Miller's article on Trump's first 50 days of presidency consist of Trump's journey up until this point. Miller explains that Trump has "completed" at least five tasks so far: his policy agenda is still a work in progress, the White House didn't change Donald Trump, he's changing the presidency, his efforts to shake-up the government are well on their way, he doesn't like taking responsibility, and his voters are watching. Miller elaborates a little more in each statement and with each paragraph that I read, I found myself agreeing with Miller. 
Miller appears to be targeting an audience of Trump spectators, those who are waiting for Donald Trump to slip up. He is definitely correct when stating that Trump doesn't like to take responsibility, something most of America witnessed throughout his campaign. Also, when Miller makes his statement in "His policy agenda is still a work in progress," he explains that Obama already had his legislation going, meanwhile, Trump still waits for confirmation on his Cabinet. The view of instability for Trump may slowly start driving away his supporters once they realize that promises are not being made.
Miller seems to be implying that Trump hasn't accomplished the amount of work that should have been completed by our president by now. Miller's claims can be demonstrated through Trump's tweets, the Navy SEAL killed in Yemen, and a comparison through Obama's administration. Donald Trump is 50 days into his presidency and an insignificant amount of work has been made. I personally would like to see what genuine work Trump can accomplish during his term. Can he make an impactful difference in our nation? Despite the lack of credible sources, great points were made by Zeke J. Miller about our president. Although I don't agree with majority of president Donald Trump's beliefs and goals for our country, I do hope for a stronger nation and genuine, impactful change in America.

  1. Jennifer Torres wrote a blog post discussing how Donald Trump has been doing as our president and she has made some valid points while discussing his progress thus far. Torres titled her blog "Having Trouble Making America Great Again Trump?" and I thought it was extremely clever. Trump made so many promises while campaigning and I honestly think he lacks the knowledge to realize the amount of effort being president actually takes. I feel as if he took his campaign as a way to prove that he could be even more powerful than he already was, his intentions to me didn't seem to be beneficial to the nation but more of a way to benefit himself. Trump promised to change the healthcare act that Obama set in place and he has yet to do so because he cannot come up with a better one himself. Many of his supporters wanted him because of that promise, I wonder if they now realize that he is not going to be able to keep up with most of the things he said. Torres gracefully discussed Trump in a way they pointed out his flaws without attacking him and I admire her for that. Just like Torres I do hope that Trump proves me wrong and does great things for our country, but unfortunately as of now I cannot see that happening.
