An Independent voters 4 year review of President Donald J. Trump’s Presidency
His Presidency and Trump as a person is summed up by four Ds
Divisive, Dishonest, Destructive and Demoralizing
Divisive
Our countries current divisions and unrest are worse now under his watch then when he entered office.
He has inflamed national division with his rhetoric and actions on a range of issues.
Dishonest
He very often has lied multiple times he makes a public address or interview.
His dishonest statements number in the thousands since taking office.
Destructive
He has destroyed a degree of trust in our institutions such as the CDC, EPA, FDA etc. whose goal it is to protect people.
He has destroyed a degree of trust toward a free and open press
He has destroyed a degree of trust regarding the USPS
He has destroyed a degree of trust about our election process
He has destroyed a degree of trust and respect from our allies
He has destroyed a degree of trust on how the rest of the world wants to do business with us and how they view us
He has destroyed a degree of trust among Americans with other fellow Americans
Demoralizing
He has made demoralizing statements about soldiers with war injuries, captured soldiers and fallen veterans
He has mocked a disabled reporter and her disability
He has engaged in Sexual Misconduct, Harassment, & Bullying
When put on the spot, he has either refused to condemn or made comments in support of: White Supremacy, certain militant groups, Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, & Xenophobia
He has engaged in obstruction of justice multiple times
He engages in personal insults of anyone he has fired or is in opposition to him
This is not an exhaustive list. However:
The above characteristics should not embody any leader (regardless of political affiliation) of the highest office of the United States.
The way this President has conducted himself both before and in office has been divisive, dishonest, destructive and demoralizing. He has shown to be morally deficient before entering office and now in office. He has not met a high standard in these categories. A standard that is important for a leader. A standard that is important for the highest office of the United States of America regardless of political affiliation.
This independent, who voted for Obama before him and Bush before Obama, regrets my choice of choosing Donald J. Trump the first time.
I am not fond of Biden either. As with the previous Presidential election, we had (and have two terrible choices). Due to this, I will likely be “writing in” another Republican candidate on the ticket.
We have had 4 years to see who Donald Trump is compared to what he said he was. We have had 4 years to see the moral deficiency, the divisiveness, dishonesty and the destruction he has done.

Donald Trump has been 100% on point on policy. He has fought against systemic racism. He has built a strong economy that has in fact shown it was capable of weathering this COVID storm. He has done what he said he would do in ways no one expected and has gone beyond that.

Which is why I will never, ever vote for Joe Biden. I’ve had 47 years to see him in practice - the man is a true racist from the top of his head to the tip of his toes.

Uh huh. The POTUS is the one who is divisive. We're just going to ignore the fact that the Democrats and their lapdogs in the media started attacking him before he was even elected? We're going to ignore the fact that the Democrat led House tried to impeach him over a fabricated story which looks to have been created with the full knowledge of the previous administration of which Biden was the 2nd in charge? It takes a lot of cognitive dissonance to accuse Trump of being divisive when his opposition has been bailing out rioters so that they could strike again while blaming Trump for the systemic racism that was created by the Democrats.
It's funny how all of the things you posted above can either be proven false or can be equally attributed to the current golden boy of the DNC, Biden. He also was accused of sexual assault, and the media trashed his accuser like she was a character in a Hawthorne novel (Scarlet Letter, in case your education is as shoddy as your critical thinking skills). Biden is actually on tape saying mean things to soldiers, while everyone who was at the meeting in which Trump supposedly made his statement has denied that it happened.
You went from voting for Bush to voting for Obama to voting for Trump? That shows a distinct lack of conviction in your values, considering that all three of them represent diametrically different aspects of politics.
Trump is an egotistical ass, but blaming him for the division in America today is a stretch. If anything, the division of today is caused by a large portion of the populace having the emotional development of a hormonal 15-year-old and throwing a tantrum because they didn't get their way.
If you're that frustrated with Trump, why not do what those of us who detest the two-party system do and vote third party? I mean, you're already "wasting your vote" (according to the sycophants that refuse to see that voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil) so why not at least try to upset the applecart with a vote for a valid candidate?

What policy? There are only two positive policy developments that I can attribute to him.
a.) Tax reform--especially 20% cut on passthrough income. I'm a small business owner/investor, and that really helped. But here's the thing, it would have passed with any Republican president since the Republican congress was the major driver of this bill. He just signed into law.
b.) UAE/Israeli and Kosovo/Serbia normalization of ties.

Very accurate, and lot of independents feel the same way, especially the ones who lean conservative.

The craziest thing about Trump's support is that his followers don't actually care if any of this is true or not (even though it is 100% true). They only care if they believe Trump is fulfilling the urge to "get" the liberals.
The modern day Know-Nothing Anti-Intellectualist party will bring America to it's knees. A perfect example is them applauding Trump's cap on legal immigration. Never acknowledging the absolutely negative ramifications of having a society losing population. It's the very thing that the founding fathers fought against.
Here's an analysis of what could happen to the economy by the right wing CATO institute:
OP you need to shut off CNN and most of the other mass media who's job it has become to Divide our country, Destroy Trump and Demoralize his base so they can be Dishonest with telling us that Biden despite having 47 years in Politics, 8 of which he was VP he never actually did anything positive for America but now suddenly he has all the answers for everything. ??
Trump has exposed the swamp of DC and it is not pretty. It is an old rusted propaganda machine that is set to destroy the America we know and Love with the Demoncrats at the controls.
Trump certainly has his issues but I don't think there is any doubt he wants to do his best for America and its people. The Democrats on the other hand? They want to tear it all down.
txbullsfan, I'm also an Independent voter. Most of your list of Trump's transgression are based on misinformation fed to you be the media. You should do more research before believing everything you. The media is extremely biased and very, very comfortable reporting blatant lies as news or, at best, putting some sort of anti-Trump spin on every news item.
That being said, I'm not particularly thrilled with Trump (didn't vote for him in 2016), but the alternative is much, much worse. Trump can be boorish and insensitive, but he has the best interests of American in mind. The Democrats, in contrast are openly anti-American, racist, sexist, and intolerant. It's is unfortunate that our only choices are Trump or the insane-in-the-brain Dems, but that's what we're dealing. Do the smart thing and vote for Trump. You will 100% regret it if you don't.
