New Series on FixGov: Trump’s First 100 Days

Today marks the 100^th day of the Trump presidency. In the coming days FixGov will feature analysis of the administration so far by Brookings scholars and guest contributors. Here are a few of the posts to come:

• Elaine Kamarck, author of Why Presidents Fail And How They Can Succeed Again, will kick off the series with a discussion of Trump’s temperament and the influence it’s had on the administration’s ability to govern effectively.
• Tom Mann’s analysis will utilize the 100-day mark as a guidepost to check on American democracy and its resilience under an entirely new sort of administration.
• Molly Reynolds will discuss relations between the Trump White House and the House of Representatives, and Greg Koger will look at where the administration stands with the Senate.
• James Pfiffner will look at friction between the White House and the Cabinet and how it quickly influences the broader executive branch.
• Richard Skinner’s piece will focus on the Trump presidency as conventionally Republican in its ideology, but lacking the capacity to get things done.
