What?
He had a list handed out to him, and a Senate majority willing to go the nuclear option. Where's the big accomplishment here? A 5 year old would have gotten that one passed too.
When Trump touts, everyone supporting him scrambles to find evidence to back him up. They're trying to reverse engineer the truth. Just look at the wiretapping claim and how far people have gone to justify it.
In the SCOTUS case, they often state the fact that other presidents rarely confirm someone in their first 100 days as rationale for his major achievement, ignoring the much bigger facts behind it. Just like everything else he does.
