SPECIAL EDITION: Trump's first 100 days — Part One.

from Tangle

Since there’s so much to cover, we’ll be reviewing President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in a two-part edition. This edition is part one, and we’re sending it to all subscribers. Today, we’ll examine Trump’s central campaign promises and the degree to which he has kept them. Consistent with past reviews of Biden and Trump, we’ll use a “promise meter,” a 1–10 scale measuring how well Trump has kept his promise (with 10 being the best score). This is not our judgment on any policy’s efficacy or value, it is only a judgment on how well Trump has kept each campaign promise. In other words, this edition will be an objective (as much as we can make it) overview of Trump’s stated goals and how well he has kept to them. Tomorrow, we’ll release part two, where we’ll get into a more subjective overview of Trump’s term so far. In it, we’ll cover some actions and events that weren’t among Trump’s major campaign promises, share views from the left and right on his first 100 days, and then I’ll give “My take.” The full version of tomorrow’s Friday edition will only be available for paying Tangle members.Ad-free podcasts are here!Many listeners have been asking for an ad-free version of this podcast that they could subscribe to — and we finally launched it.
