Trump: Great President, or Greatest President??

[jeremyp]

The question is: What will have to happen before his minions desert him? Will it be the slow drip (doubt it, it hasn't worked so far) or the big revelation, or the arrival of an anti Trump?
Predictions for this guy have been known to be duds on many occasions. I'll go out on a limb (hey it's silly season) and predict that the Democrats will take back the House and Senate and Trump will change parties and be reelected with a Democratic majority. It could happen!

Of course, he is the greatest president ever... for Russia, China and North Korea.

For the Likudniks in Israel and the Sunni despots on the Saudi peninsula, he's the greatest President we've ever had. For Mideasterners of all faiths who yearn for peace and freedom, he's the worst President we've ever had.

Exactly. He's governing fairly consistently with what he showed us on the campaign trail. By that measure he's actually doing a great job.

The three biggest 'promises' he made on the campaign trail were

"Lock her up. Lock her up, Lock her up."

"Build the Wall. Build the Wall. Build the Wall."

"Drain the Swamp. Drain the Swamp. Drain the Swamp."

He accomplished ZERO of them (thank goodness).

Oh wait, the biggest of all: "Repeal and Replace!"
Nope, not that one either.

Meanwhile...in a New York paper today....and a Happy 4th to you too!

Well, no. He showed us that he had no idea what he was doing during the campaign and he's governed in that manner. He's a hurdler who runs through the hurdles and brags that it is the best way to get to the finish line while ending up last.

He was voted in with the same personality and incompetence he has shown since that time. It isn't shocking that only a few percentage points have peeled away. This is the person they wanted. And people are slow to admit they were wrong, especially in the face of the such backlash. They belong to a cult, it will take time to admit they were wrong, if ever.

Maybe he should ask Flynn, Manafort, Papadopolous, and the rest.

Yep, it may be a witch hunt but it's certainly catching a lot of witches.

[jeremyp]

He is certainly the shallowest POTUS in my life time. By shallow I mean that he has no depth of knowledge, no sophistication, little comprehension of the bigger issues. Narcissism is not an uncommon trait in our leaders, but add in the shallow nature of the man with the personality of a tin pot dictator, and you have the meltdown of the reputation of our country.

Do you think this is made up? Or should I say, Fake News? Far from a theory at this point.

If trump had been president in 1941 there wouldn't have been a lend lease, and Britain likely would have fallen to the nazis. If trump had been president in 1947 there wouldn't have been a Marshall plan, and Europe would have had a tougher time rebuilding, and more of it would have fallen to the Soviets.

I can only imagine what would have happened to civil rights if he had succeeded LBJ instead of Nixon.

If Mueller is allowed to finish many Republicans will be caught up in some part of it, even as simple as having taken donations from the Russians funneled by the NRA. Devin Nunes was part of Trump's transition team. If Mueller is allowed to finish it will be the largest scandal this country has ever seen.

Is "most grating" an option?

Ha!
