We’re a bit past the somewhat artificial “first 100 days” time period which somehow became a standard measurement for the early accomplishments of a presidency. But, in the case of the current resident of the White House, we knew well before the 100 day mark that this President would be known far more for what he destroyed in the initial days of his term than for what he accomplished.

Not only have Donald J.’s signature campaign promises failed to materialize, he’s also manage to destroy agencies and institutions that are vital to the nation’s well-being.

The destruction continues apace. No matter what aspect of American life one examines, one is guaranteed to see the destruction.
