Do you actually care what is happening in our government or do you vote with the sole purpose of rubbing it in liberal's faces? Do you have any actual values and beliefs or is it all about putting it to the Democrats? You are a perfect example of why our society and our government isn't functional. Instead of concentrating on the issues and topics at hand you would rather make it partisan no matter what the debate is.

What is odd is I know several people that have similar beliefs as you. They don't care if Trump or the Republican Senate getting anything accomplished just as long as they are sticking it to the Democrats. On the other hand I have quite a few Democrat friends that only want things to work correctly. They also don't immediately throw out insults if they are losing a debate or argument. I see insults fly out of Trumpers when they know they are wrong. For some reason you all can't admit when you are wrong.

Trump is not presidential whatsoever. Trump is a whole category of his own and it is not good for our nation.

I think even Trump would admit he's not a politician which in some ways is refreshing.

He’s a politician on steroids. Lies to the cameras and is obsessed with his image. Lots of promises not kept.

there is no accounting for TDS.


as a one who is trained in the social science of history, I approach the question from an unbiased approach, leaning heavily on the historic record.


You actually asked a question that, while subjective in nature is informed by factual events. I think more than a few here have pointed to any number of actions by others that drive directly to the heart of the question.


American Presidents do not fit any "presidential" model. They are as varied as their are of them.


From early men who did personal business from their Presidential offices (something Trump would be hung in the public square for doing) to running farm animals loose in the house!


what Trump is....and something that is unusual in terms of Presidential history, is his commitment to disruption. He is a committed disrupter. if anything defines him it is that.

not a hard thing to do with record unemployment and improving economic indicators...


now when the country is already at near full employment and the economy is in a long run of positive results...that's vastly different.




according to Jim Cramer... no fan of Trump, these numbers are "real" and the best they have been in our lifetimes. i can agree that being great at economic expansion does not make Trump "presidential". It does drive to an argument that the notion of "presidential" is silly and useless and in the context of this tread where solid historic evidence has been provided that show any number of Presidents were "in-presidential" in their own way, it further drives home the point that such an argument is just vapid whining by Trump-deranged individuals.

If nothing else, throughout his life Trump has been consistent in taking credit for successes he did little to create.

Who made $4 billion? Certainly not the guy who would have made far more money if he had parked his inherited fortune in a passive index tracking fund than playing at real estate tycoon.
