He has zero legislative accomplishments.


Hell, he's a crook. He paid 25 million for defrauding people at his Trump University. The little people have to do jail time for theft. Trump didn't but it's no different, he's a crook.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

They all are. Some are inclined a bit to the red others are inclined a bit to the blue but they all are crooks that go for the green. You want hack through all those cash-roots organizations. lobbyists, publicists and front-men to see who pulls the strings, go ahead.

This Jerusalem thing is nothing new:

The average sane American or Lefties?


The lefties will never give up. They think their not liking the guy is grounds for impeachment. Hell, they already tried it. 58 loons voted to impeach, grounds that they did not like him. Not a high crime in sight.

OTOH, the average joe can and does get won over. He also gets tired of the same old stories of the lamestreams.

In addition to the simple binary options of crook/not crook, I also think about the magnitude of the crookery.

They cry and cry when Trump nails
CNN as fake news. Then this happens:

The U.S. Media Yesterday Suffered its Most Humiliating Debacle in Ages

"Friday was one of the most embarrassing days for the U.S. media in quite a long time.

https://theintercept.com/2017/12/09/the-u-s-media-yesterday-suffered-its-most-humiliating-debacle-in-ages-now-refuses-all-transparency-over-what-happened/

And how can we be sure that CNN got the timeline wrong? Because it was reported by The Washington Post.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

This is what a real world leader does, he came, saw and wiped out ISIS that had kept "America at bay" for 4 years. And now he is withdrawing. First class Mr. Putin.

He's keeping Assad in power. That won't be a good thing for lots of people.

Body parts stashed in fridges, horrific accounts of torture and mystery disappearances: Full horror of President Assad's regime laid bare as smuggled documents held in secret location are opened for the first timex

room contains 800,000 pages of potential evidence to build a case that may lead to the most significant war crimes trial since Nuremberg, one that could match The Hague’s current International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and make last week’s suicide in its dock by a former Bosnian-Croat general seem like a bizarre footnote in history.

Boils down to let him keep power or do a full invasion with a 30 year occupation thereafter. Iraq has proved the later will not be stomached by a modern nation.
