They did bet the farm on the Mueller report. They invested heavily in their rhetoric leading up to its release. If it didn't cost 50 million plus it would be hilarious.

I think most Democrats think he is the worst US President.

Reason being, they strongly dislike/hate Trump because he gives style and appearance a back seat, and has little-to-no filter and is rarely seen as politically correct.

These are all things most educated and "brought up right" people are taught by their parents not to do in public. Trump defies all of these once thought of traditional societal "norms" and has succeeded wildly in American politics, just by doing so.

Most people on that side of the aisle just cannot understand his success, because they themselves, largely followed the rules and have not succeeded as Trump did, by breaking them.

Financially and career ambition-wise, Trump has won, and they simply cannot stand it.

I am not a democrat nor have I ever been and I think he is one of the worst presidents ever.
He did not drain the swamp he created a cesspool. I am more concerned with those Republicans who gladly got in line behind Trump and defend him like he is a king while knowing he is a shady character at best and one of the biggest liars of our time.

Maybe Trump is trying to be a good president, I doubt it, but maybe.

The waters have become so murky. There is so much mud slinging there is little clarity anywhere. Much of it started with Trump.

There is one major question(s). Why is Trump trying to hide? Surely its not about personal privacy. Trump is about the most un-private person in the world. Why does he need to cover his taxes, his business dealings, his associations? Why does he try to discredit any opponent?

It just does not add up that he wants to be flamboyant one minute and totally secretive the next. There is something inherently suspicious about almost everything he does. If he was totally honest and doing everything he is supposed to, why is he always so defensive.

Almost everything he does is questionable and suspicious and his words and actions only make it worse.

Its obvious he is base, abusive, a compulsive liar and amoral. All traits of person not qualified to lead much of anything.

The only point here is - Trump inherited a very good situation. He hasn't had a single event to deal with that is not BS of his own making. So we really can't judge how bad he would have been.

He may have dropped nukes...who knows? GWB took marching orders from Cheney, but Trump takes them from temp. lackeys who whispered in his ear most recently.

Really...when you are at the bottom of the barrel, it's hard to rate one spoonful of slop over the other.
That’s true. Trump has the potential to be worse than W. Hopefully he doesn’t get 2 terms to make that happen.

1. His issues with veracity. He constantly lies, about things that matter and things that don't.
2. His criminal disposition. He's a con man that has gotten through life operating on the edges of legality. He brought that behavior into the White House. It does not belong in the White House.
3. His temperament. He very obviously acts on whims frequently. His own policy advisors state he'll flip positions daily. He is not capable of operating with the long game in mind. This is not Presidential.
4. His pandering to racists.
5. His lack of respect for our Democratic institutions. To me, this is probably the thing that most worries me. He has ABSOLUTELY no respect for the checks and balances put in place to check his overreach of authority and has frequently overstepped his bounds. Our system has held up sometimes and failed others. I'm afraid at how damaged it will be by the time he leaves office.


That is most of it. Def. the worst President of all time. Definitely the most undeserving person to ever hold the office. He's a McDonalds manager born into extreme wealth, that conned his way to the top.

I just never respected him. Even before he got this role he sounded like an idiot. Better to be silent and thought the fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

That's it. Nothing else. Before he decided to run and beat a Democrat, they all loved him on the TV.


Top rated show on NBC for more than a decade proves it.
