Chuck Todd Compares Trump’s First 100 Days with Bill Clinton’s: ‘He’s Got to Show Deals’

‘He had a slightly better first 100 days than Donald Trump, but not much’

EXCERPT:

TODD: “Look, there is — he can actually take some solace in Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton, the only — you know, he had a slightly better first 100 days than Donald Trump, but not much. It was pretty bad first 100 days. He ran on ‘it’s the economy, stupid.’ He had to sell a tax cut in an economy that people didn’t feel good about. And he was saying, hey, just trust me, this is going to work. Well, it didn’t work in time for the ‘94 midterms. It did work in time for his ‘96 re-election. So, if he could — if the Bill Clinton model holds, right, and he can show, I think you’re right, he’s got to show deals, but it’s actually going to make the economy — I do think he’s, you know, he can have the second half of his term if the economy really is getting better. That’s what Bill Clinton had.”
