What is your personal rating of Trump and his team after almost 3 weeks in office?

I feel this is a good, constructive exercise.
IMO, Trump and his team get mixed reviews from me 3 weeks into his Presidency.
On the plus side, he's genuinely set out to make good on his campaign promises. Fact of the matter is... he was clear about what he intended to do, and he got voted in. Thus, he's now trying to keep his promises. Another plus: he's not Hillary Clinton. I always felt and still feel Hillary would've been a 4-year disaster. She was untrustworthy, underhanded, and it would've been politics as usual. The middle class would've been forgotten. Again, this is all my opinion. Another plus is that he will, in fact, look out for the U.S.'s best interests in important areas such as foreign trade agreements, and jobs. His methods may be crude and unconventional, but I think those can be tweaked into form. Yet another plus is that he has put media biases into the public light. That hadn't been done to that extreme, and maybe it was time to do it.
On the negative side, he's done nothing to try and unite the country. I don't buy all this bullshit that everyone who feels apprehensively at Trump is a leftist conspirator wanting to overthrow Trump. That is a stupid, simplistic point of view. Some of us are wishing well... but genuinely worried that he won't do more damage than good. But Trump seems to be going out of his way to further alienate people as he goes about his business. That's not doing the country any good. Another negative is that he has encouraged blatant, outright lying by his spokespeople. If he's not encouraging it, he's permitting it. Same thing. Once you've lied about even a minute detail, your credibility is shot. Another negative is his insistence of ramrodding executive orders through without thinking his ideas though. Ok so he ordered an immigration ban on specific countries. Where is that now? He's bogged down in court, trying to fight those who would overturn these orders. Meanwhile, what's going on? Had he thought things through a little bit, we still would've gotten some action on the matter, only without so much battling. Also, he really should stop with the Tweeting. I get that he doesn't trust the media. But he Tweets what he shoots off the hip. That's ok for someone like me, who am not in charge of the most powerful country in the world. But it's not ok for the POTUS.
So although it's early on, I still see enough pluses and minuses to give Trump and his team a score generally around the 50% mark.
If I have to be serious I think Trump is kicking ass.
But if I have to pick out a flaw, it's definitely Spicer and Conway. She helped Trump win behind the scenes... she needs to stay behind the scenes.
These two are blurting out things that are making the Donald look bad.
And believe me, Donald does not like to look bad and he's awesome at weeding out shitheads, so I'm predicting RIGHT HERE that he puts a muzzle on Conway and he gets rid of Spicer within the next few months.

I no longer offer my views on politics.....but word on the street was Spicer was not Trump's choice as press secretary.
If it pleases the forum I offer this corroborating link

I have no personal view or comment on the matter.
Don't you get bland on me now. ;D
Trump gets 95% rating from me.
I HAVE to subtract 5% because he has not arrested Bill DeBlasio, Madonna, Rahm Emanuel, and that ***FUCK FACE*** in SF.
