List of all the terrible things Donald Trump did in his first 100 Days

President Donald Trump has reached his 100th day in office, a symbolic milestone often used by historians to gauge the productivity of presidents. In a sense, this hasn't been a very productive presidency, given that Trump hasn't signed a single major piece of legislation. However, signing legislation isn't the only way to a president can get things done, and Trump has certainly taken to other avenues to affect change. So, here's a daily timeline of all the terrible things Trump did during his first 100 days.
