Now if the economy turns down at all, which is a very real possibility, and he absolutely owns it, what has he done that any other Republican could not have holding both houses?
Supreme Court justices, what Republican would have done anything substantially different?
Tax reform, same question, though I think some may have been more moderate looking back at the history of tax cuts. Odds are very good that they will be rolled back shortly based on history.
Immigration, he has accomplished nothing other than to make the Republican party look mean, numbers haven't changed substantially.
Healthcare, all he has accomplished is to screw up what is there. No improvement and he left all the candidates in the last election scrambling, saying we will keep this, really we will.
There is a long list of things pushed by Bannon and Miller, that he has done that no other Republican would have, and are not in the best interest of the long term growth of the Republican party.
Have you seen the purported middle class tax cut, maybe that's coming with the caravan? Who's paying for it anyways?
He thinks he is surrounded by drooling sycophants kissing up to him, but they are actually salivating politicians, ready to spit him out before it rubs off on them.
If Trump survives the primary, Republicans are fools.
Never mind the general election.
This opinion piece has nothing to do with the subject of this post. It's the same anti-Trump babble that appears in almost every thread
lately regardless of the thread subject. It's the same kind of personal hate narrative that fills Magazines and editorial columns on a daily basis. I believe the intent, beyond the hatred, is to numb the public mind with vitriolic repetition. At some point, people get tired of it, limp with the idea of having to cope with it, throw up there arms, and are comforted by the thought of just getting rid of the weight of negativism, and getting rid of the man at the center of it.

Your previous post in this thread was more on topic, and it actually contradicted the notion that Trump is a misogynist, or that he is stupid, unsuccessful riding on his daddy's back, sloppy, an unfeeling psychopath, but it does point out some of his flaws, which every President has had their share of, as do the rest of us. Except for the prissy saints.
