Nope

Fifteen years ago, we felt Dubya was unpresidential. And we were right about that. His deliberate campaign of disinformation to manufacture support for his oil war was verging on criminal.

But considering tRump's shenanigans, Dubya is an honorable statesman in comparison.

It ain't even close.

I'm sure if the economy was not doing well, or that unemployment was rising, that Trump's opponents would be blaming him. You are naive if you think otherwise.

Apparently you haven't heard the news. There's a newly designed bill coming out with Trump's mug on it but it isn't the twenty.

The fact that this is all the lefties could come up with after years of manufactured conspiracy theories tells me that Trump is, in fact, pretty clean. Certainly cleaner than "more flexibility with Russia" Obama!


Trump 2020.
I know. They have been investigating Trump with a fine toothed comb, even before he was sworn into office, and the worst dirt they have on him is him seeking to look into possible corrupt activity by the Bidens?


If Trump had been doing stuff like Joe Biden did, then I might understand all the uproar. Joe Biden actually did this stuff, and none of the dems attacking Trump could give a rat's ass.

How five members of Joe Biden’s family got rich through his connections

Ever since Biden became Vice President, he used the power and influence of his office to enrich his family members.

Actually, Trump has done pretty well. But a lot of people would prefer he "acted Presidential" as opposed to governing effectively. That's the whole purpose of this thread. Thankfully, Trump is just going to do what is best for America. Liberals should just get out of the way.
I am in the midst of reading American Lion by John Meacham. In many respects Trump is a Jackson knockoff. For both good and bad things.

No. Never. It's not even close. Trump is the biggest embarrassment to ever sit in the Oval Office.

Trump is the least Presidential pile of trash ever in American history. But, he's also trying to keep his campaign promises, and getting things done (that I want/like, maybe not you), which hasn't happened since Regan.

I hold my nose, and hope someone who is as effective (to do what I want done, maybe not you) as Trump comes along next time who looks, and acts, the part. I'm not hopeful. I hate lifetime politicians...ALL corrupt both sides.

When push comes to shove, I'll take results (that I like, maybe not you) over appearences. Maybe someday, I'll get both, but it hasn't happened in a long time. Hillary was a horrendous alternative.

Doing what you say you'll do, or at least showing an honest effort, is important to me. Trumps passed that test (to me, maybe not you).

I think he has kept some of his campaign promises. And that is unique in modern politics. I can understand why many people support him because of that, but at the same time, he really is human garbage. He lies, he steals, he cheats, he's insecure, he's a misogynist, he's a bigot, he's a coward, he basically embodies everything I have raised my children not to be. I'll be glad when he's gone from office and we are finally rid of the sniveling man-baby that throws tantrums on Twitter.

Good God... He literally thrown tantrums on Twitter. Think about it.

That's ridiculous. The war had nothing to do with oil, and W wasn't doing the disinformation. That was the province of the NYT, NBC, et al. The PNACers probably hoodwinked Bush just as much as they hoodwinked the general public.
