fair questions.

overall D. Trump has defiled the WH, diminished the US globally, hurt the economy, killed hundreds of innocents abroad, failed to sign any significant legislation, resorted to exec orders, discriminated on the basis of religion, encouraged violence at home, lied hundreds and hundreds of times, pushed allies aside, pulled enemies toward him,increased the divisions in the nation, and importantly, set a horrific example for American children.

But

he has caused a rethink on overregulation. Put a decent human being on SCOTUS. Started the talk about a much needed tax reform. Probably encouraged europe to spend more on defense. Worked as a negative example for parents.

and he hasn't tanked the economy or started a war yet.

I tried posting this in a separate thread, but it was deleted; perhaps this is the proper thread?

Anyway, I've been asking people what grade they would give the Trump Administration to this point. My contention is that if you'd give it an A grade OR an F, you're uninformed, not paying attention, or not thinking enough about it--and we need voters/citizens who get informed, pay attention, and think!

So far I have not had one response that's other than A or F (or "beyond F," to quote one). To me, this perfectly exemplifies the our-team-versus-your-team, polarized mentality that I think has hurt American political discourse so badly. Grownups know that real life is actually messy, and that in almost every area there's gonna be stuff they like and stuff they don't.

So, to repeat: What grade, between A and F (noninclusive) would you give to the Trump Administration as a whole so far? And, if you wish: why?

After the police shooting in Minnesota, Obama took to Facebook and posted this:

“what’s clear is that these fatal shootings are not isolated incidents. They are symptomatic of the broader challenges within our criminal justice system, the racial disparities that appear across the system year after year, and the resulting lack of trust that exists between law enforcement and too many of the communities they serve.”

"When incidents like this occur, there’s a big chunk of our citizenry that feels as if, because of the color of their skin, they are not being treated the same, and that hurts, and that should trouble all of us,"

He didn't wait for a trial or an investigation. It was then followed by the killings of 11 Cops.

Then during the police memory service, he devotes most of the speech to racial discrimination. This angered many cops.

Good job!

Wrong. I know Republicans who give him an F, so it's not all your team vs theirs. Go ahead and explain why he deserves a better grade.

He lied about Comey, Cruz, Clinton, Obma, Rubio, Bush, Carson, and pretty much everybody.

He's a liar. That's not news to anyone and no longer shocks people to think their president is the biggest liar to ever hold that office.

Actually, he didn't really lie about those guys, particularly during the primaries/campaign season. They most certainly did about him, however. Are you implying that that group of guys are good people that weren't trying to take take Trump down with slander and misleading narratives?

Remember early on all he did was tell the truth about the others and expose them for what they were (scumbag lawyer politicians), which is why he gained such strong support during that time. Before everyone jumped on the "he's a liar" narrative, his appeal was that he would "tell it like it is", which is why he was able to have positions from both sides of the aisle.

Again, someone who won't say that is not a liar. All he can do is try to say that others lie too.

Other politicians at least try to be honest. Trump doesn't even try.
