AP Photo/Andrew Harnik President Donald Trump speaks to White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner, left, in the Oval Of- fice in Washington Friday. With his tweets and his bravado, Trump is putting his mark on the presidency in his first 100 days in office. Nearing 100 days, Trump says his presidency is ‘different’

WASHINGTON (AP) — For nearly 100 days, Presi- dent Donald Trump has rattled Washington and been chastened by its institutions. He’s startled world leaders with his unpredictability and tough talk, but won their praise for a surprise strike on Syria. He’s endured the steady drip of investigations and a seemingly endless churn of public personnel drama. “It’s a different kind of a presidency,” Trump said in an Oval Office interview with The Associated Press, an hour-long conversation as he approached Saturday’s key presidential benchmark. Trump, who campaigned on a promise of instant disruption, indirectly acknowledged that change doesn’t come quickly to Washington. He showed signs that he feels the weight of the office, discussing the “heart” required to do the job. Although he retained his signature bravado and a salesman’s confidence in his upward tra- jectory, he displayed an understanding that many of his own lofty expectations for his first 100 days in office have not been met. “It’s an artificial barrier. It’s not very meaningful,” he said. Trump waffled on whether he should be held account- able for the 100-day plan he outlined with great fanfare in his campaign’s closing days, suggesting his “Contract with the American Voter” wasn’t really his idea to begin with. “Somebody put out the concept of a 100-day plan,” he said. One hundred days are just a fraction of a president’s tenure, and no president has quite matched the achieve- ments of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who set the standard by which all are now judged. Still, modern presidents have tried to move swiftly to capitalize upon the potent, and often fleeting, mix of political capital and public goodwill that usually accom- panies their arrival in Washington. Trump has never really had either. A deeply divisive figure, he lost the popular vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton and had one of the narrower Electoral College victories in history. Since taking office on Jan. 20, his approval rating has hovered around 40 (205) 265-2911 | lavishboutiqueclothing.com percent in most polls. Trump’s early presidency has been dogged by FBI and congressional investigations into whether his campaign coordinated with Russians to tilt the race in his favor. It’s a persistent distraction that Trump would not dis- cuss on the record. Furthermore, his three months-plus in office have amounted to a swift education in a world wholly unfa- miliar to a 70-year-old who spent his career in real es- Readers’RReeaders’ Choice AwardsAwarrdds tate and reality television. 201602 16 For example, his two disputed travel ban executive or- ders are languishing, blocked by federal judges. On Capitol Hill, majority Republicans muscled through Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Neil Gorsuch, but had to blow up long-standing Senate +BTQFS-PDBUJPO'PSNFSMZ3FFDFT%SJWF*Ot+BTQFS-PDBUJPO 'PSNFSMZ 3FFDFT %SJWF*O t rules to do so. Then there was the legislative debacle %PSB-PDBUJPO0ME64 %PSB "-t%PSB-PDBUJPO 0ME 64 %PSB "- t when Trump’s own party couldn’t come together to ful- fill its long-sought promise of repealing President Barack Obama’s health care law. H.W. Brands, a history professor at the University of Texas at Austin, said Trump is learning that “the world is the way it is for a whole bunch of complicated reasons. And changing the guy at the top doesn’t change the world.” Trump won’t concede that point. But he acknowledged that being commander in chief brings with it a “human responsibility” that he didn’t much bother with in business, requiring him to think through the consequences his decisions have on people and not simply the financial implications for his company’s bottom line. “When it came time to, as an example, send out the 59 missiles, the Tomahawks in Syria,” Trump said of his decision to strike a Syrian air base in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack. “I’m saying to myself, ‘You know, this is more than just like 79 (sic) missiles. This is death that’s involved because people could have been killed. This is risk that’s involved.’” “Here, everything, pretty much everything you do in government involves heart, whereas in business most things don’t involve heart,” he said. “In fact, in business you’re actually better off without it.” As for accomplishments, Trump cited “tremendous success” on an undefined strategy for defeating the Is- lamic State group. He talked at length about saving taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars on the price of F-35 fighter jets. Trump held meetings during the tran- sition and in the White House with the CEO of Lock- heed Martin, which produces the F-35, but the cost-savings were already in the works when he took office. He promised a tax overhaul plan that would give Americans a tax cut bigger than “any tax cut ever.” A man accustomed to wealth and its trappings, Trump has embraced life in the Executive Mansion, often regaling guests with trivia about the historic decor. With the push of a red button placed on the Res- olute Desk that presidents have used for decades, a White House butler soon arrived with a Coke for the president. It’s too soon to say whether the presidency has changed Trump in substantive ways. He’s backpedaled on an array of issues in recent weeks, including his cri- nelsonbryanjones.comnelsonbryanjones.com tiques of NATO and his threats to label China a cur- Jasper,Jasperr,, AL 205.387.205.387.7777 rency manipulator. But his self-proclaimed flexibility means he could move back to where he started just as quickly.
