President Donald Trump has been in office for exactly 100 days, as of Saturday.

Trump may have called the benchmark a "ridiculous standard," but we took a look at what some other Presidents had to say about the day and what others have said about them.

Donald Trump

A week before the 100-day anniversary, Trump scoffed at the media and tweeted that the benchmark was a "ridiculous standard" by which to judge a President's performance.

But in recent interviews, he has also said that he never realized how "big a job" being president was.



Richard Nixon

Trump was not the only President to dismiss the 100-day mark. When reporters asked President Richard Nixon about his achievements, he said that he did not "count either the days or the hours."
