    He's done some good things, he's made some mistakes, just like all presidents. Whether he's done more of one or the other is something history will decide.

    The current crisis is a perfect example.

    His loyal followers think he's done everything perfectly. Clearly untrue.
    The people who hate him no matter what think he's done everything wrong. Clearly untrue.

    Nuance and balance are kryptonite for partisans.

    Oh! Come on!

    The Birther movement?

    Trump himself was a band leader marching in front of the story of criticisms that Obama faced

    Dismissing any and all legitimate concerns as TDS is counterproductive

    There isa a long list of what he has accomplished in his embattled Presidency.. and it far out wieghts the accomplishment of several past administrations.. combined. He plays a better game than his adversaries.. altho' I am still waiting to see how he got roped into the national shutdown and the destruction of the strongest economy in decades.

    It is like the eye of a storm looks calm but the **** is still circling at a frantic rate and nothing constructive is happening

    I got a question:

    for liberals who think Trump is mentally ill, why does every person with mental illness in the world deserve our compassion and sympathy ... EXCEPT Trump? I mean, one can't help being mentally ill, correct?

    The answer to this apparent conundrum is that Trump is not mentally ill, and, moreover, you don't really think that he is.

    As I said about Biden -- this insult is uncalled for.

    I have Autism. This is not just a lot of Suffering and Disability -- it can be a Superability.

    Because that is how it could be interpreted plus he was breaching a long standing convention

    “Thou shalt not make public statements that some twerp can misconstrue as directive to do harm”

    The poisons help lines were flooded with enquires

    The same with the HCQ - thousand put at risk because of the rush to prescribe everyone the “game changer” medication.

    You mean bleaching a convention?

    But no, that's not why he was falsely accused of recommending people drink bleach. It happened for the same reason he was falsely accused of colluding with Russia. It advanced a narrative.

    You are splitting hairs

    There are very very good reasons why we use “formal speech” in formal settings

    You possess "Superability"...?! Then, please, announce your own candidacy for the Democrat nomination. Right now they'd probably be happy just to have someone with "ability" -- let alone "Superability"!

    It is hard to tell if Trump is mentally ill because he is so incredibly stupid.What may appear to be craziness, could be just the dumb bleeding through.

    No, the answer is that one can be evil and mentally ill at the same time. Hitler was batshit crazy and an evil bastard too

    I think Trump is just evil. He's a narcissistic psychopath and not terribly smart but he's not mentally ill in the actual sense, he's just an evil bastard.

    Trump is a tactician who sizes up his opposition long before they know they are being targeted. The man has keen insight to what was being said in red America and the disgust they had for the blue state elites. I would venture to say that Trump is a liberal but he knew that path would not work for him. Just like the Democrats use gays and lesbians and mix in the transgenders, and make them victims of society, to go along with the poor blacks, beaten down woman and misunderstood Muslims, Trump also built a coalition. Instead of pretending he was one of us he flaunted his wealth, who would you rather vote for a successful business man or a crooked politician like Hillary who he would put in jail if elected. It was brilliant. He made her a crook. He dispatched Jeb Bush as a person who didn't have the energy to want to fight for the job and was unworthy of your vote. Slow, sleepy Jeb. Brilliant. The Democrats tried to persuade the Latinos to vote for them and they would have open borders and a easy path to citizenship for dreamers. Trump pointed out that the Congress made laws that he would enforce and if they wanted those things then pass legislation to do so. He was going to make America safe. How many people knew about the drug problems in the small towns of America until Trump highlighted them? His solution , build a wall and close the border. Not only stop drugs but protect American workers, stop illegals and the importation of crime. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Again Brilliant. If things are real quiet you can be sure a TWEET is a coming. Every time the press goes after him he points out it out. When they climbed in bed with the CIA, FBI, and never-Trumper's the people rallied around him even more and he fought back against them and the people loved him for it. Brilliant again.

    Did Biden really win the hearts and soul of the Democrats. Hell no. The only reason Joe ran was because had already destroyed their candidates. Remember Elizabeth Warren? She'll destroy Trump. Really? Pocahontas has less Indian blood than I do. Goodbye Beth. Brilliant. The people want Bernie. Bernie's a nice guy but I'm too sure of his health and stamina. Bingo a "heart attack". Then what all of us wanted to hear. "There will never be a Socialist President as long as I'm around". The kiss of death for Bernie, Beth and all those who support the socialist agenda. Brilliant. Remember Bloomberg? I've know "Little Mikey and welcome in the race and I hope he does well in the debates. I hope they find him a step stool so he can look over the podium". Brilliant. (I actually was looking) So now you all have Sleepy Joe and Trump has everyone wondering why Joe is stuck in the basement. Brilliant. When Trump fires someone it always seems the only people who scream about it our the Dems. The Trumpers? They must be the enemy if Trump fired them. The swamp needs more draining. Brilliant. Somebody will write a book on tactical acumen someday.

    You're long on opinion, Doctor Ulyanov. Your expertise in psychiatry is ... not evident, however.

    Another way to think of it.. Trump doesn't bend over and take it.

    I'll agree that he may be childish from time to time. But at least he fights back. Obama was simply a spineless wimp. He was not a statesman and not a leader.
