And when it comes to actual policy accomplishments tied to pledges he made on the campaign trail, Trump is actually doing pretty well – whether you like the results or not.
Where Trump has made the bulk of his money is in money laundering. He is a very successful money launderer. Most of his other endeavors have failed or are pure scams like Trump University.

He's probably super nice to his family always, other people when they're useful for his schemes, but likely unpleasant with most others.

Can he be nice to some people when/if he needs to be? I have zero doubt.

Does he love his family? I'm sure he does in his own way.

But, he is as self-centered as they come and everything he does is pretty much designed to feed his fragile ego.

I used to think he was fairly harmless to everyone except the people he shorted in business deals and... here we are now.

That said, like most of us, he can be a real jerk sometimes. He can be a real nice guy other times. Same can be said for Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc. Some are jerks more often than others. Others are really good at hiding their “jerkiness” while others are not. Some people are really good at putting on a “nice guy” face, even at times when they are thinking something very different than they are letting the outside world know, while others are not. Humans are more complicated than to be reduced to either “a jerk” or “a real nice guy”.
Well said.

A lot of comments on here sound like they are from a middle school popularity contest.

No, but all the foaming at the mouth anti-Trumpers have kaka where their brains would normally be. Every time they open their mouths, a little more spills out; but they get it replenished daily from DU and the fake news media.

I don't give a darn the justification you and your brethren give for loving someone who so clearly is a jerk in so many ways. A jerk is a jerk is a jerk.
ok . seriously I don't care what "you" think.


all I am attempting to do is pick up the mirror so you can see... Trump didn't happen in a vacuum. Trump was a reaction to leftist over reach. If that isn't you fine. If it is, you just found the line where we bite back. (but please note, Trumps aggressive actions are in fact REactions. )

you mean like when democrats in congress spoke with one voice and said "Republicans WANT to kill old people?"


or "Bush Lied People Died" and called him a war criminal?


Like that?


or like when leftists RIOTED and burned city streets?


Or like when leftists riot to make sure conservatives don't get to TALK?


LIKE THAT?


I seriously don't care what you find admirable because I know you find anything that is of the left admirable. that's well find and good. im don't with thick skin. I want reciprocation. I am not sorry if it hurts when you get back what you've been dishing out. period. end of story.

If you position yourself as an adversary and continually attack him, he is your worst enemy.

The issue is that Trump was generally fine (or at minimum a typical greedy, eccentric business type) for the first 70 years of his life until he positioned himself against the swamp and the propaganda media and the entertainment complex (read elite liberals and swampy GOP types). All of a sudden he's the worst person in America to many. I think it says more about the others. He hasn't changed... others have changed their viewpoint on him. Why is that?
He probably comes off sounding like an old dotard with fading memory trying to look young and tough. It's sad when they get old and impotent.

Not to mention which, I've read "jerkier" comments on here from libs way worse than anything Trump has said.
