Those who are having worse opinions may have had negative opinions before anyway? Anyone who was negative or neutral but became positive? I was kind of neutral before, but am having better opinion.

I said I have a worse opinion than before. However, I already had a bad opinion of him lol. Yet, I was willing to give him the benefit of my doubt and see if he settled down and stopped all the silliness of the campaign trail.

I have a worse opinion of him now because I don't feel he has done the above. Instead of uniting the country, he overstepped Congress too much IMO with all these Executive Orders. He has a majority in both houses and he should have let the "wall" issue and the travel ban issue be debated by the House and have them decide on how to proceed.

I also think he is grandstanding and too many of his "followers" are too naive to see it. Him signing an EO about a wall doesn't mean that he built a wall. Him signing an EO about cutting regulations (basically he created a regulation about cutting regulations lol) doesn't mean he has cut any regulations. He actually added one with his EO. I don't think he should have issued memos to silence our federal employees (this was the most disturbing to me of everything he has done because I am very much a supporter of free speech and this along with him making an enemy of the press is alarming to me). I don't think he should have fired the AG (it was unnecessary considering Sessions will be in that position soon). I also feel his posturing about voter fraud, phantom illegal voters, and banter about crowd sizes (like he defending the size of his member or something) is unimportant and stupid to even be discussing. He is immature and tiring IMO and not very experienced as a policy administrator/executive and it shows "very badly" lol.

So my bad opinion has turned into a worse opinion based on the above. However, I still am someone who lets people I don't like redeem themselves. I always try to find something about our Presidents that I like. I'm hoping Trump will give me something to focus on soon.

I guess a jerk that does the right thing isn't so bad. And I'm beginning to think that he's on our side more than we realize when you look at those who are lining up against him.
So my opinion of him went up and my opinion of Hillary has remained at total contempt, disgust and hatred.

It is almost enough to make me go statist as well as I bask in their meltdowns.

Not really but you know what I mean.

This is the best thing to ever happen to the Left. They are being force fed government they absolutely cannot stand. In response they will either...

A. Go completely off the rails and will no longer be taken seriously (about 95% of their ilk thus far)

B. Dump statism (0%)

C. Rethink their positions and form some coherent plan even if it's within the confines of statism (5%)

They still believe this is all a bad dream. They never thought Trump would run. Never thought he'd get the nomination. Never thought he'd win the General Election. Never thought he would actually do at least some of which he talked about doing prior to being sworn in.

They are still hoping for some major event to end their nightmare instead of looking in the mirror.

No, I've thought he was little but a self-promoting, loud-mouthed con-man who behaves like a spoiled 6 year old for 35+ years, he's done nothing to change that opinion.
