100 days of President Trump, but limited progress. What's the deal?

It happens to every president.

100 days in office is a big, if arbitrary, deal.

Impact, progress, delivery of campaign promises… all these things are scrutinised along with the inevitable mishaps and missteps that occur in fledgling administrations.

:: Trump aide's insight into his first 100 days

Donald Trump doesn't like this very much.

He's declared the milestone "meaningless".

But as with many things in Mr Trump's world, what he says is not often what he means.

And so a flurry of activity is under way as the milestone arrives and tallies of victories and failures are counted.

Let us look first at what HAS been achieved.

There have been lots of executive orders. Lots.

There have been orders deregulating the energy industry, big finance, approving pipelines, reviewing foreign workers' visas, bolstering Border Patrol, withdrawing from trade deals and many more.
