Read his twitter feed...any that stuff sound "presidential" to you? You find it uplifting? Does it make you hopeful?
Like I said up thread, there's a bunch of his campaign promises I'd like to see him pull off.
A laughable statement at best. More fake news? You never, ever cheered for him to succeed but went on and on about what you called his failures. And, calling him a dumbass?
Oh, "they" impeached Bill. And that legacy still hangs around his neck like a lodestone.
Trump is losing more credibility every day. He golfs more than governs. This go 'round with "repeal and replace" is the start of how ineffective he'll become. And, its pretty much a given that anything he says is a lie.
Honestly, an outsider, non politician has appeal. His "drain the swamp" was a great idea. But, he didn't and isn't. Obamacare needs to be fixed, but, I read Trumpcare and it fell way, way short of any fix. Was dead on arrival. With a Republican majority....and 7 years to come up with a plan...? Well...we're still waiting. Blaming the Democrats...hilarious.
But...glass half full. Good things he's done?
HR 255 and HR 321. Women and STEM. That's a good thing.
But the list of things he's done that I don't agree with...is Huuuuge. Ha ha.
First 100 days...we'll see how he ends up. Far short, methinks.
Term limits? Crickets.
Hasn't refused his salary yet.
Make two and four year college more affordable? Nada. His budget cuts funding in financial aid for education.
He did sign the ban on white house officials lobbying on the behalf of a foreign gov't. Funny considering his NSA choice was Turkey's guy.
Has not done the five year ban on lobbying post White House or congress, though.
Etc.
I'd sure they'll be some interesting fake news to come out of the Manafort testimony...
Tick tick tick...
