You’re close to correct but I think that he’s a con man and can’t find a way out of his own long con. So that would make him a fool because any con man can tell you, the exit is the difference between con and convicted.
So you didn't answer my question (no surprise) and wandered off in another direction (as usual). From there you . . . how would you put it ? . . . you went off the rail with a bunch of stupid stuff and unfounded conjecture or outright lies:
Look at his record
The stock market is down
It always goes up and down. Went it went up, he didn't do it, but when it went down, he did it . . . blah, blah, and more blah.
Trade is down
Like the stock market, trade went up, but he didn't do it. You say trade is down, so he must have done it.
He failed to repeal and replace
He gutted it instead. And McCain was the "maverick" who failed to get it repealed and replaced.
The government is partially unfunded
Pelosi and Schumer are to blame. Trump is willing to compromise (you know, that thing you think good politicians should do), but they are not. And, anyway, Congress funds the government. If the House and Senate agree, it will get fully funded. Which is a joke. The government has not been legitimately funded for a long time. It has over-borrowed on the people's credit to the point that the debt likely can't be repaid.
He lost the midterms
He did better than historically has been done at the midterms. And when he stumped for senate candidates, they won. The presidential coattail bit is overhyped anyway. Party policies and individual candidates have more to do with congressional seats than who is President.
Romney fired the first shot across his bow and he flinched, more are coming
Romney fired shots before and he didn't flinch then. And he didn't flinch this time. His response was, untypically, "presidential." It's actually amazing how much he has done and is still in office considering the daily shots he gets across his bow.
He can’t fund the wall
Is it over?
Lindsey Graham claims that if he fails at that his presidency is over
He’s tweeting 10x a day
Lindsey Graham has fired a lot worse shots across his bow. Lindsey is actually getting more in accord with Trump.
He can’t find cabinet members perhaps because he gets one and then stabs them in the back when they leave
A little contradiction there, he can't stab them in the back when they leave if he didn't find them. He'll find more. Getting them confirmed is next.
He has no knowledge of history
Sure he does. He went through our wonderful system of American education. And his published reading list includes history.
He thinks Afghanistan is what broke up the USSR
I don't know about that, and don't see that as some ignominious or important record.
The rest of the world is laughing at the crazy uncle we elected
That's not true. He has a lot of admirers and supporters in the rest of the world. There is a quiet but getting louder upheaval in the direction of European attitude and government trending toward a conservative, populist, national culture identity. And most of the people driving it like Trump.
He stole a new line “presidential harassment” lifted from Mitch McConnell, maybe he’s hoping it becomes like the #metoo movement
This is supposed to be some important point in his record? Blah, blah, blah.
But no other president has had so little skill at leading or been less willing to build a team and learn
Aw get off the talking points already. Geezsh. He has a history of building teams to complete various projects.
He has done a few things that were handed to him by others
