Oh FFS you are kidding. Please.
Trump was at best a mediocre President. But that isn’t why I didn’t vote for him in 2020. I voted for him in 2016. But I abstained in 2020.
The reason is Trump. Himself. Trump didn’t set out to drain the swamp. He could have done that in the first thirty days. He didn’t set out to do anything but take control.
Let’s take one of the current situations. The Too Secret documents in his possession. Trump could have declassified tons of information. He could have shown the nation, the world what the Nation was doing to its own citizens. The Domestic spying that Snowden exposed. Confirmed and elaborated upon. Trump could have gone to Congress and demanded a law that would put anyone who spied on Americans without a warrant in prison for life.
There were dozens, hundreds of things he could have done with the simple signature on a piece of paper. He didn’t.
The only reason that Trump fanboys love him is he shouted at the Left and called them names.
What Trump did do is weaken our presence in Europe, just when it was needed most to deter Russia. Trump ordered the withdrawal of a third of our troops from Germany.
The US is moving forward with President Donald Trump’s plan to withdraw nearly 12,000 troops from Germany, a decision that has attracted bipartisan congressional opposition and roiled key allies who see the move as a blow to NATO.

When the Right says that Biden is encouraging the opponents, what the **** do you think removing our troops from their forward positions does?
Kim Jong Un is one of the worst dictators in history. Trump thought he was a great guy, because the guy sent a shallow flattering letter to Trump. I’m surprised Donald didn’t hand over South Korea to the thugs in the north.
I could go on, and on, and list hundreds of examples of his massive failures. But they all can be reduced to one failure. The failure to ever learn what the Presidency is.
It isn’t just another CEO job. It isn’t the same as a corporate leadership job. You have to be able to negotiate. And that isn’t so what I want or else. It is about five and take and being reasonable.
But the biggest thing is something I began calling for within the first year. Someone should have taken a hammer to his phone to shut him out of Twitter.
Let me explain something. How things work in the White House. The President has, or hears an idea he likes. He instructs the staff to look into it. Lawyers examine the idea to see if it is legal. The various departments weigh in to see if there is a problem with current laws or policies. Some of which are agreements and treaties with Allie’s or adversaries.
Then once all that comes back the staff crafts the talking points and the scope of the position within those agreements. Then the position is announced by the Press Secretary. Trump didn’t have patience for that. He would announce a position or ideal at three in the morning and expect the Staff to make it happen. Instead they have to tell him why it can’t work.
Trump wanted to be an Emperor. He wanted to rule like Kaiser Wilhelm. By inspired Devine authority, without anyone to tell him no.
The things Trump could do, he didn’t. The things he couldn’t do, he demanded. The things he shouldn’t do, he did. That isn’t a great President. That is at best, mediocre.
