The deal includes $15 billion in extra funding for defense programs, which is half of
President Trump’s first 100 days are in the history book. I’ve watched and listened for a week (as I’m sure you have) as the various pundits have analyzed, critiqued, laughed and applauded his first 100 day accomplishments or failures, whichever perspective they used for their analysis.
