https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2017/jan/20/donald-trump-first-100-days-president-daily-updatesAnd lo, it came to this: Donald Trump's 100th day in the White House. To celebrate, the president called Rodrigo Duterte, the brutal leader of the Philippines, and invited him to Washington. Otherwise, the day was all about that 100th day. Trump skipped the White House Correspondents Dinner to stage a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where he got to experience a bit of the old campaign buzz and, like some Gatorade-hued Sinatra, roll out all the hits: complaints against the press and the Democrats, praise of a supposed record-setting attendance at an arena in which empty seats were plainly on display. Back in DC, the dinner went ahead with host Hasan Minhaj discussing the elephant not in the room and Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward offering a warning from the Watergate past. Samantha Bee's Not the White House Correspondents Dinner, meanwhile, wheeled out Will Ferrell as George W Bush. He asked: How d'you like me now, huh? Oh, and while all that was going on, Pope Francis suggested mediation between the US and North Korea, to avoid a war that would destroy a good part of humanity, and of culture, everything, everything.
(I wish the Guardian would keep this up and just cover the asshole 100 days at a time - though if we are lucky, he won't get anywhere near 200!)

I'm just going to say when I opened the link and saw the "just 1361 days to go" I kind of had a minor panic attack. Then I remembered 2018 was around the corner and calmed down.
