His supporters were looking for something quantifiable.  There's a reason there were those photo ops with him signing the executive orders which shows action being taken.  Typically stuff like that takes time to yield true results.

Looks like he will get even more photo ops if he has to keep re writing his EO's to get them past the courts.

Trump is the President now. What's the problem with demanding the same standard of truthfulness from a president and his administration, as from the media? That would be critical thinking.

As would not believing any of them.  The media has a ratings problem and media these days has been discussed as "choose your own adventure" media

No, that would be willful ignorance of everything, the opposite of critical thinking.

He is a godsend to every political satirist and late show host. They don't have to search for topics any more because he provides new material daily. When he is gone, writers will actually have to start working for a living again.

Trump is now saying he based his Sweden terror remarks on a TV report, so I guess  we can now conclude that the Donald is getting his international intel. reports via Fox news, rather than those danged leaky intelligence agencies like CIA, NSA etc. And now apparently a lot of Trump supporters are convinced the terror attack actually did happen but the media is covering it up. It seems the slippery slope to conspiracy theories gets slipperier by the day.

Maybe there is more in depth reporting at Fox news. You know those intelligence agencies only give him a few bullet points on page, along with a graph or two.

Why waste all that time actually reading stuff when Trump knows that if anything serious happens, somebody will tell him. Ezra or Limbaugh or somebody. Don't worry.

Tatters? One of the best departing approval ratings of any two term president in the history of the US. Maybe do a little research before you post your bias feelings.

Approval ratings won't matter when the republicans take an axe to everything obama did.  It's why he suggested to trump to get things done through congress.

He doesn't care about ratings, only seats.  The midterms will be his report card
