http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58a0ccf8e4b094a129ec274d?|Barack Obama accomplished much more during his first weeks in office.
President Donald Trumps advisers have taken to boasting about the flurry of activity that has come out of the White House in the last few weeks. And on Sundays political television shows, Stephen Miller, a senior White House policy adviser, made the most audacious version of this claim yet.
According to Miller, Trump has already accomplished more than most presidents achieve over the course of four or even eight years ― even though he has been in office for just three weeks.
(Snip)
Of course, Obamas first few weeks were unusually busy by historical standards. And Trump has plenty of presidential term left. But hes done less than his aides keep suggesting.
And the notion that Miller put out there on Sunday ― that Trump has already accomplished more than most of his predecessors did by the end of their tenures ― is just laughable.
