Default Trump is a business man first

and deals with America like a business, as in get things done and not a lot of waste and B. S....

I think Trump's presidency will inspire other successful business men/women to take
a shot at the White House, and cause down time for politicians.........

You call yourself extremely liberal way to much for anyone to actually believe you. especially since you were Anti Obama and a Trump supporter.

WHo was the last Democrat you voted for at each level, and what do you believe makes you "extremely liberal" or a Democrat for that matter ?

I suggest you actually read about Trump's business history and his practices. His businesses have declared bankruptcy six times. His has ripped off creditors on projects where he has not declarfed bankruptcy. The biggest bombshell about Trump's business practices will result from when it is made public how he paid for his 17 golf courses with cash.

I voted for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries, and Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential elections. I made "protest votes" in the Senate and gubernatorial races in recent years because I don't like 70%+ margins for anyone. This is not the former Soviet Union. As far as being a "Democrat" I registered as one in May 1975 in my high school's lobby and have been one since.

As far as supporting liberal causes I have donated to wolf restoration in Yellowstone. I am pro-choice. I was against the Vietnam war since we should be in wars to win, not just kill people. I am for far better funding of public school education and courts. I believe in far higher salaries for public officials so we don't keep getting the dregs running. The IQ level of the Senate and House is probably not higher than my 79 IQ.

I vote on perceived qualities of the candidate as a person. In 2016 I considered Trump to be of low quality. Thus my vote went to Hillary. In 2008 and 2012 I perceived John McCain and Mitt Romney to be much higher quality, as people.

Wow.
That's 10 swingy states, not the 3 of 2016. And Trump has lost his popularity in 2 of those 3.

Just goes to show how much work Trump has ahead of him.

The most interesting thing I noticed is the number 42. That number seems to be the percentage Trump tops out at over and over in all the polls, ever since the first days of his Presidency. 42% appears to be his ceiling.
