So Trump is a good president, but he stops short of being great.

Your thoughts?
Rome wasn't built in a day.

Trump could have been one of the Greats but the Democrats were too petty to allow it and America to be great.



Who would have ever thought that a President that wanted to MAGA, which was meant for every citizen and Legal immigrant could be cast and vilified like he was an enemy of the state?

Such is the power of the Democrats media propaganda machine.

Mediocre is not the same as good. His one "notable" accomplishment was tax cuts for the wealthy. Yeah, like we needed that. Yep, he rebuilt parts of the wall. I suppose that can be considered an infrastructure project.

He did as well as he could having the whole of the Washington establishment against him. He promised to drain the swamp and he did. He drained it and exposed the creatures that lurk within for all to see. Unfortunately those creatures didn't go away they just filled the swamp back up again, even deeper this time. But now we know they're there and we know who they are.

He did put together Warp Speed also which did accelerate vaccine development, even though he didn’t do any of the actual work of course, I do think he deserves some credit for that. Of course his accomplishments pale in comparison to the ways in which he tarnished the office with his behavior.

the person i quoted said these were direct 'orders' to trump, which he followed slavishly.
so you don't have a scintilla of evidence for the existence of these 'orders' or trump following them, either?

quelle surprise

hopefully mr. rubbish isn't paying you much to go to bat on his behalf. it would be money poorly spent.

No, Russian intelligence did not issue explicit orders to Trump. That’s not how intelligence services operate with opposing heads of state. Russia did demonstrate they could coerce Trump into taking public positions supporting Russian interests though, which he did on multiple occasions.

At least Trump got rid of the mandate where you're penalized financially if you can't afford garbage insurance.

If any American wants to sit and eat/smoke/drink themselves to death, that's their business. What do I care?
Do you believe in/think we should keep Medicare ?
