President Donald Trump on Monday boasted that he's "passed more legislation" and accomplished more to date than any of his predecessors “with the exception of FDR" — a declaration that doesn't appear to match with history.

“There’s never been a president that’s done more in this time,” Trump told reporters during a meeting with his cabinet at the White House. “Who’s passed more legislation, who’s done more things than we’ve done.”

However, Harry Truman passed 55 bills within his first 100 days, and according to the White House website, Trump has only signed 48 so far on his 142nd day.

Many of the bills Trump has signed, such as designating buildings and appointing board members to the Smithsonian, do not have a major, direct impact on Americans, and Trump's ambitious legislative agenda on tax reform and infrastructure is largely stalled. The outlook is also uncertain for the Obamacare repeal bill, which passed the House and is now facing a tough road in the Senate.

1. Does he even know the meaning of the word "legislation?" nt

[CakeGrrl]

[MBS]

4. He is truly insanely, delusional.

Very scary having someone this incompetent, this emotionally unstable, this uninformed, this small-minded, and this narcissistic and uncaring, and -to repeat myself - so shockingly delusional - with his fingers inches away from instigating Armageddon.

[MyOwnPeace]

11. Question the cabinet?

Can you imagine, sitting there as a designated public administrator, listening to your supervisor making bold-faced lies?
You KNOW they are lies - you see that they have no substance - and yet you sit there and smile for the cameras and tell your own self that you are serving your country?

What has led us to this stage in this country?

Why are these people SO self-focused that they are willing to allow the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA descend to such depths?

When will this nightmare end?

[MBS]

19. I also ask these questions daily.

(though you expressed them more eloquently than my version, which usually relies more heavily on a string of Anglo-Saxon words.)
It really IS a nightmare: both horrible and bizarre, in the way that only nightmares can be.

[forgotmylogin]

22. They must have told him that "passing legislation"

is what he does with each of those individual squares of toilet paper.

[beachbum bob]

5. He also discovered penicillin and ended world war 2...

[Xipe Totec]

6. Hey, Trump! Joe Isuzu called - He says he wants his shtick back. nt

[George II]

7. Idiot doesn't understand that presidents don't pass legislation.

[Orrex]

[heaven05]

[riversedge]

10. Bragging is one of his vile character traits

[NastyRiffraff]

12. Just when I think he couldn't say anything more stupid

He up and says it. There's a moron in the White House.

[n2doc]

13. I would play to this if I were running congress

Pass a whole bunch of meaningless bills, and let the idiot think he is changing the world.

[forgotmylogin]

23. Right, remember when he did a signing ceremony

...with nothing to sign? He was just pretending. Like...doing his Fourth of July cards or something.

He likes to write his name while people clap!

[Ccarmona]

14. Just Another Example of His Lies

So who are you going to believe, Comey or Trump? Next up...Trump claims he shot a 17 on his last full round of golf.

[PJMcK]

29. That's funny!

Not only is your crack brilliant, it's probably what will happen!

A couple of seasons ago, I was a guest at a golf outing at Trump's course at Ferry Point in the Bronx, NY. Situated on the upper portion of the East River, the panoramic views of the city from the track are glorious. The course itself is attractive but very gimmicky with lots of tricks and unfairly unseen troubles. Since it was my first time on the course, I played conservatively and scored well enough. However, when I saw what the greens fees were, coupled with the fact that I don't want to give any money to Trump, I determined not to go back.

Of course, it's Trump so there has to be something paying tribute to His Yugeness: on the teeing ground of a par-3, a large bronze plaque is planted to the side stating that in the inaugural round at the course, Trump aced the hole. Do you believe it? I certainly don't. In any event, why would anyone do such a thing?

Trump is so pathetic.

15. Making up shit with every breath he takes

[msongs]

16. not lbn really belongs in the lounge if that nt

[jmowreader]

17. What a comparison...

President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Trump replenished the Smithsonian board of directors and named post offices.

[Lucky Luciano]

18. Dear leader is competing with Kim Jong-Un it seems

...with regard to accomplishments including fake ones.

[dchill]

24. Flatus is not legislation, 2Scoops.

[Still In Wisconsin]

25. Awesome! And I can dunk two-handed from the free throw line!

I have also run a 2:05 marathon, scaled Everest drunk and in flip-flops, and can whistle all of Beethoven's symphonies out my butt.

Wheee! This is fun!

[Gothmog]

26. Trump is a con man

[dhill926]

27. of course you have Donnie...

[heather blossom]

30. WTF

Invoke the 25th amendment now- he is insane and delusional. By the way, what is in the water at the White House- they all are nuts!

[trueblue2007]

31. HE IS A LIAR. He has hardly passed ANY legislation.
