I look at it differently, naturally. I see Trump as wanting to increase American strength and prestige around the world,
That is what Trump sold to his voters.
You feeling like that he has increased American strength or prestige so far?
Well, let's look at who is trying to prevent him from doing so. Are they being effective?
So far the main person preventing him from doing so is Trump himself.
He can't keep himself on topic.
If he would spend more time on fixing problems than tweeting attacks against people he might accomplish some things.
Trump has the Presidency- the House and the Senate- all on his side.
If he cannot accomplish his agenda- that is no ones fault but his.
The electorate. It is being poisoned by the ongoing, relentless attacks on everything Trump, from policy choices to how much ice cream he has for desert.
The electorate is being informed about Trump from his erratic daily tweets- and his erratic contradictions of his own agenda, and his own talking points.
The ice cream thing is stupid- and the electorate knows it- but the Comey issue is real- real enough that Trump can't stop talking about it.
No one has done more to prevent Trump's agenda than Trump.
He was unprepared for the White House- and really didn't have all those great plans he promised you he had- which is why so much that he has attempted to do has been so half ass.
- the Ban on people from some Muslim countries- half ass- poorly planned, even more poorly executed.
- the firing of James Comey- it looked bad- and it was handled extremely poorly- his administration didn't have plans in place for the firing- hell Trump didn't even fire him in person or give him a chance to resign quietly- Trump made the Comey firing more important than the Trump agenda.
- Trump's repeated whines about the election- Trump can't stop himself from trying to convince everyone that he won the election- he did- but every time he brings it up again- that is what is discussed- not his agenda.
What has Trump done regarding the Oppiod crisis? Where is his detailed tax reform plan? What has he done to reduce prescription medicine costs?
Not much- but he sure has tweeted about Comey and Clinton a lot.
