Donald Trump has officially been president for 100 days, and the late night hosts (we care about) all decided to mark the occasion by toasting to all his accomplishments thus far.
"The first 100 days are traditionally a time to reflect on accomplishments of a president, and Trump hasn't got a lot of those," Stephen Colbert said on Late Show. "He still hasn't filled his cabinet, he didn't repeal Obamacare, there are still Muslims. But, and it's a big but, he did sign a law making it easier for mentally ill people to buy guns, and for hibernating bears to be hunted. So he took care of his base: Insane people who want to murder Yogi."
"I gotta say, Donald Trump has done a lot for me in the first 100 days," he added. "Thank you for your service, Mr. President."
Seth Meyers was equally impressed: "This will shock you: most people think he's not doing great," he noted. "The 100 day report card is on the way, and like every terrible student, Trump is trying to turn an 'F' into an 'A.'" Watch below as he goes through each of the major legislative promises which Trump has failed to deliver on so far.
"If you're a Trump supporter you may be saying, 'Well at least he tried. Doesn't that count for something?'" Trevor Noah said on The Daily Show. "No, it doesn't. It really doesn't. That's not how it works in government. Boy Scouts don't earn badges for trying to help an old lady cross the street. They either help her across or she gets crushed by an 18-wheeler. That's how it works. You don't get a badge for that."
