the idiots who think donnie's a good leader, what do they think he's actually accomplished?

to my mind, he's has the following "accomplishments"

1) signed a pointlessly huge and unnecessary tax cut for the rich. entirely obvious and any republican president would have done the same thing. donnie's only real contribution was getting some special breaks for owners of pass-through entities like donnie.

not a good thing, but if you're a republican, it's an accomplishment. that said, it's obvious and any inept republican would have done the same thing. not an example of leadership.

2) appointed two right-wingers to the supreme court. entirely obvious and any republican president would have done the same thing.

again, not a good thing, but if you're a republican, fine. but again, any inept republican would have done the same thing. not an example of leadership.

3) made sexism, racism, xenophobia, contempt for differing political opinions and general hatred of most americans appear normal and maybe even acceptable in certain quarters.

really horrible, but if you approve of that sort of stuff, ok, yes, i'll grant you that's leadership of an (evil) sort, but it's not a legislative or executive accomplishment. maybe a social leader accomplishment.


is that all they got? are they really insisting he's a great leader because he's pushing hatred?

has he actually pushed for an signed other laws of consequence?

a couple of years ago on FB and he never answered.

He said he voted for Trump because he would unite the nation. He is an artistic eloquent young man and he was born and lives in Alaska.

When you have someone telling you he's "removed regulations" you know they realize he hasn't done anything.
