    George Washington technically.

    How do you define best? Like which President did the best stuff in the first 100 days or which 100 days was the best overall for the country?

    Abraham Lincoln was a great President but in his first 100 days some bad stuff went down. I mean the country literally went to war with itself.

    Trump. Saw it on Fox News.

    Your question is to vague. You need a goal to measure by.

    Definitely not Lincoln.

    The better question is why do Americans care so much about this arbitrary 3 months in a 4 year presidency.

    What are your requisites and metrics for deciding “the best”?

    George Washington.

    In recent times, I’d say Trump.

    Take a close look at Truman who had no time to prepare and yet ended WW2

    Subjective question, not everyone agrees what’s best.

    I have a feeling the president with the best first 100 days going forward will be whoever follows T***p. That is, if we ever have a free and fair election again.

    Do you truly think there an objective answer to this?

    FDR called Congress into session shortly after he was elected and got like 15 laws passed and that’s where the term “first 100 days” comes from.

    Lincoln had it pretty rough and he ended up a legend.

    William Henry Harrison did far less damage to the country than any other president over those first 100 days.

    Depends on the perspective, I’m sure the current one is having a blast…

    FDR. He’s why we even measure the first 100 days in the first place.

    FDR is very famous for calling a special 3 month session of Congress and passing major legislation to address the great depression in his first 100 days. Most of the actions he took are viewed favorably by historians and economists today.

    William Henry Harrison. Accomplished 100% of what he would in the presidency then peaces out with time to spare

    Considering the rest of the story, William Henry Harrison

    Joe Biden, because the mere fact that Trump wasn’t president anymore was the best gift just by itself.

    Regean. Got shot. Hard to beat that

    That would be George Washington, who asked congress to send him a bill to sign, so they sent him a bill on the time and manner of oaths.

    Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do. Agree or not, don’t care. 🤷‍♂️ He’s burning the old regime to the ground and it’s biblical.

    I think we can all agree who has the worst. Rhymes with Chump.

    Especially if you compare it to the rest of his presidency, you can make a case for Johnson.

  32. SideEmbarrassed1611 Avatar

    FDR. It’s not even a comparison. It’s where we get the term from. This is getting beyond obnoxious.

    Why are you asking reddit when Trump already gave you the answer to this question.

    The whole 100 days schtick is based on FDR’s first 100 days of the “New Deal” in his first term.
