Trump is just not a good President. The whole outsider thing was cute for a minute but now let's get back to someone who can at least govern effectively and also deal with complex international issues using more than gut feelings.

This. is. Gold. Tells me white where you are coming from.
I have the FACTS to support my statement. A CNN poll from 2016:
https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/05/politics/obama-race-relations-poll/index.htmlThe poll:
54% said race relations got WORSE since Obama became president
16% said it got better
29% said it stayed the same
1% had no opinion
Trump is MUCH better than I thought.
I assumed he would simple embrace the GOP not destroy it.
Bye Bye Repubs.

I will second the thought that in speaking he is worse than I thought he would be. In action, far better. Definitely Trump 2020.
I thought Trump would be more careful with his tweets but here are some pros/cons. Naturally liberals will disagree with most of these.
Done better than expected.
Economy until Covid-19,
Supreme court nominees
Reduced regulations
Pro-life stance
Shut borders early with COVID-19
Is pro-US
Has supported Israel
Tax rate changhes
Not as well as expected
Expected more border wall
Didn't shut down domestic flights with COVID-19
Most criticism of Trump are statements with no evidence. Quite frankly, although I think he should have shutdown domestic flights like after Sept 11, I know of no other politician who has called for such a step. Actually most Democrats were complaining about Trump when he closed the border from China. Many were telling people to live normally. The typical response about Trump is he can't do xxx because that would make him a dictator but he should do xxx to save the country. Most of what Trump didn't do for a COVID response he has no authority to do.

Agreed. The doctors gave Trump bad information. Fauci was saying coronavirus wasn't a big threat all the way into March. Fauci was also saying masks don't help which was 100% wrong. Trump listened to the doctors that were supposed to be experts. He made the right decision based on the the information from the doctors and he followed all their advice. It just turns out the doctors were wrong about everything.
And Trump couldn't just shut everything in America down. That's not in his power, it's up to the states to do that. Very few people understand how this nation actually works.
BETTER!! Hopefully he gets another term and destroys US hegemony entirely!! M-A-G-A!!

Pretending like trump was merely following the advice of his medical advisors might be the dumbest thing I've seen all day and exposes you as either blatantly dumb or a particular clumsy troll.
I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary. 2 Despicable human beings. As a rule, I despise politicians in general. I do however, love my country.
The question is.....what do you want your coiuntry to be?
A) Venezuela
B) Minneapolis
C) California
D) Seatt;e
E) None of the above
Please vote below....Forget about the Bus Driver...Think about the destination.
About what I expected.
Worse on Israel than I expected.
What has amazed me is the unending 24/7 attacks on him over made up shite.
Never stopped. Began before the 2016 election and has not eased at all
It's striking that several of the posters who are OK with Drumpf seem to appreciate his inability, greed, cravenness and astounding incompetence. I suppose that there are plenty of neo-Norquists for whom any destruction of the government and any diminishment of trust that voters might have in the ability of government to do a decent job are appreciated, no matter how those ends are achieved.
In other words, those are the people who just want it all to burn down and see Drumpf as arsonist in chief.

Fauci literally admitted under oath to congress that Trump followed all of the recommendations of his medical advisors. Once again you are WRONG.
I expected the worst, and he exceeded my expectations.

Glaring failures and promised broken:
The wall, he has built three miles of new wall in almost four years. The rest has been improvements to existing fences.
Mexico have not paid for it.
He still has not repealed nor replaced Obamacare.
Backing Israel to the hilt is not an America First policy.
Appointing his daughter and son in law (a Democrat) into positions they aren’t qualified for.
He has not wiped out the deficit, quite the opposite. Even prior to Covid-19 it was heading the wrong way. He is in NO way fiscally conservative.
He has not delivered on his promise to deport all illegals.
He has not ditched NATO.
He has not brought back water boarding.
His trade tariffs with China backfired hurting our farmers and consumers.
He has categorically not brought back coal.
He has not done anything for infrastructure.
Hillary Clinton is free as a bird.
What exactly conservatives see in him is beyond me.

I thought he would be bad. I had no idea how bad. So, he's worse than I thought. Worse than I thought possible. We have gotten to know him over the last 3.5 years, and he has shown that he's a serial liar, a racist, a sexual harasser and abuser, a criminal, and a man with no morals. He couldn't care less about America. He only cares about himself, and he is grossly incompetent to a level I never dreamed possible.
This ^ pretty much sums it up.
I didn't vote for him. Seemed at the time to be nothing more than a buffoon. Still seems like a buffoon, but a more dangerous and destructive one than I imagined.
Sometimes i think that this explains most everything:

Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
