Senate Democrats have released their own, red-all-over rewrite of Donald Trump’s commemorative 100th day email.

The White House sent out an email earlier this week, touting the president’s accomplishments in advance of his 100th day in office. Titled “President Trump's 100 Days of Historic Accomplishments,” the email claims Mr Trump has “accomplished more in his first 100 days than any other President since Franklin Roosevelt”.

The email, sent to the White House press mailing list, highlights the 30 executive orders and 28 laws Mr Trump has signed since taking office.

“Despite historic Democrat obstructionism, President Trump has worked with Congress to pass more legislation in his first 100 days than any President since Truman,” the email reads.

Democrats responded to the insult the next day, with an edited version of the email entitled “President Trump's 100 Days of Historic Broken Promises.”

“Despite campaigning as a populist, President Trump has governed as a hard-right extremist,” the edited email reads. “Again and again, he has broken his promises to the American people while his allies have reaped the rewards.”

In the edited email, Senate Democrats accuse Mr Trump of governing by executive order, instead of legislative compromise.

Mr Trump has previously expressed his dislike for executive orders, claiming they are “not what the country is based on.” He even accused former President Barack Obama for utilising executive orders to disguise his own failure to negotiate. In his first 100 days, however, Mr Trump has signed four more orders than the next-closest president, Lyndon B Johnson, and 11 more than Obama.

Mr Trump has also signed more bills into law than almost any other president, but has yet to claim a major legislative victory, or pass anything through Congress. The White House abandoned their attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare last month, when Mr Trump asked Speaker Paul Ryan to pull the bill from a House vote. They have yet to put forward a revised plan.

The president’s tax reform bill, which he promised to enact within his first 100 days, is set to be unveiled tomorrow. With a vote on the congressional spending bill scheduled for Friday, it is unlikely that Mr Trump will be able to force a vote on tax reform before his first 100 days are up.

At a press conference on Tuesday however, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer hailed Mr Trump’s numerous meetings with world leaders and progress on border control.

“From the moment he took office, the president has been taking action and putting America back to work by putting the people back into government,” Mr Spicer said.
