When Obama was President, he didn't whine like a ***** aboit "testing in court" Fox , Breitbart, etc. whenever they said some BS about birtherism, etc. I guess we know what style you prefer in a leader.

I think all these medical dramas on TV should be 'tested in the courts' because after all these years, they still can't get CPR right.

He's doing a decent job.
A+ on border security. He's trying to get at least some of his wall built, but he's being blocked by the establishment. No surprise there. He's deporting people who don't belong here, he stopped the Central American caravan (MOB) without any bloodshed at the gates. Great job.

As for the rest of it --

He got Kavanaugh through the left wing mob. Good job there as well.

He's not taking any of the media's nonsense. A less strong person would have folded up their tent and gone home by now.

The debt keeps ballooning. I thought maybe putting a businessman in charge would have done something to help this situation. Nope - he cut taxes instead, bad idea.

Social security reform?

Anything on healthcare?

Why have the Clinton's not been charged with crimes? He talked about locking her up. Well?

Massive turnover with his staff.

Two years in, it is a mix of good & not so good.

Of course it's biased, but let's not pretend President Trump has not given them plenty of material to work with.

But as posted above you are totally missing the point. EVERY President gets mocked and made fun of. Imagine if Nixon flew off the handle when David Frye impersonated him. Imagine any other President acting like a child when SNL makes fun of them. It comes with the job description but for some reason this dumb ass hasn't figured that out yet.

I guess breaking the law is unimportant to you then. If you actually believe President Trump is squeaky clean and has done nothing wrong after Mueller's team pulls back all the curtains you are in for a rude awakening.

Obama broke plenty of laws also and no I don't think Trump is squeaky clean.

It's one of the funniest sketches I have ever seen, and I am a liberal.
Good point. It's SNL's job to mock regardless of party. What makes it tolerable for normal people (even non-politicians and other ordinary people) is that they are equal opportunity mockers and - most importantly - they usually do know the limits to what is fair game and not. One comedian (can't remember if she was SNL or not) apparently didn't get the memo, and mocked Donald's son 10 year old son Baron over some kind of condition he had (or maybe allegedly had), and she deservedly got BBQed over her routine. I'm usually left-ish and I assure you she deserved it.

Personally, mockery's not my thing except if it's counter-mocking, reasonable and proportionate to the original mocking. However, Donald brings at least 80% of this mockery of him on himself, especially since he made outrageously callous statements against a whole plethora of people in his campaign, and even continues to do so (although as of late, his focus is more on those who he considers a threat to him). Had Donald not stooped so low, SNL wouldn't mock him any more severely than any other president since they first came on the air.

I will say this though: Donald sets a new standard for hypocrisy - mean-spirited belittling of a lot of people, with his supporters implying they can't take a joke; yet Donald blows up every time somebody calls out his b.s. Classic bully behavior, along with classic fanboy and fangirl behavior.

Ah yes, always revert to Obama or Hillary when the topic is Trump.

If Trump was found to have broken laws, and there are a number of possibilities here outside of conspiracy, what would you say? I'm thinking you won't care and retain support.

Baldwin is paid $1400 every time he plays Trump - far from making a fortune.
