President Donald J. Trump’s achievements during his first 100 days in office pale in comparison to those of President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his first 100 days. And so do those of every other president since FDR died, early in his unprecedented fourth term on April 12, 1945.Indeed, FDR set the tone for his “New Deal” for the American people with these stirring words in his first inaugural address, “Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasonable, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.”FDR then announced he was calling Congress into special session to address ways to end America’s economic crisis, adding prophetically, “I shall ask Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis. Broad executive power to wage war against the emergency as great as the power that would be given me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.”FDR quickly proceeded with a panoply of programs designed to do just that, to counter attack the crisis and restore the faith of Americans in their future.
