Trump is the only president that put America first and uses "common sense" in foreign affairs.
He needs to tone down the egotistical bullshit, keep the economy chugging along, and he'll be fine.
There have been quite a few presidents. Trump is the only one "that put America first and uses "common sense" in foreign affairs"? Are you, perhaps, speaking only of modern presidents?
Great question. Lets take a look at Trump compared to other presidents on the "America First" scale. This topic might make a good separate new thread for discussion. From the "historians" viewpoint, which is the longer view of presidential impacts, many of Trump's "upsetting the apple-cart" and/or "bull in the China shop" policies may not look good short term, but I believe that Trump will end up in the higher end of the "Mid-Grade" presidents based on his "Promises Kept" and fabulous economy. If Trump gets a 2nd term and keep doing great things he may even end up at the bottom of the Best presidents list, alongside Reagan, Ike, and Truman.

Worst for you people is a given.
