You know what's scary about Trump (and this country)?

[Mr.Bill]

If during his term as president, he had signed every executive order and gotten every bit of legislation he wanted when the republicans still held the House, and if he had shown some decent character instead of being a total asshole, He would probably be coasting to a second term right now.

1. Besides the fact that there is no wasy to stop him until Jan 21?

You are right!

Citizens need to be empowered with recall option BY POPULAR VOTE TOTAL!

2. Everything...?

[Mr.Bill]

4. Yeah, pretty much. n/t

[CentralMass]

3. His identity is predicated on being an @$$hole.

[Mr.Bill]

6. True. And the problem is there's too many assholes in the country

who admire and aspire to that.

5. For his entire life, Trump has failed more often than not.

What are the odds he would succeed as President? A job for which he had zero qualifications.

7. No

Trump was pretty much doomed from the start because he didn't understand that while Congress passes laws, many of the ones that do pass are initiated as policy by the White House first. This is actually a failing that comes from his lack of business acumen as much as anything. Trump has never really had to lead a company before. In most cases, he would decide to do something, figure out a way to get someone else to fund it, then would turn it over to someone else to actually manage. That's true of many salespeople in general - they typically look for someone who's already in the market to buy something, would facilitate the deal, then would step out of the equation, meaning that the actual process of designing, building, and maintaining is already on someone else's plate.

Trump squandered the trifecta, burning political capital on meaningless projects such as the Wall, and reversing as much of the Obama legacy as he could, not believed he thought it was bad policy, but because it was a black man's achievement. He ended up wasting too much time in his first two years, then found his hand forced when the midterm elections hit. He could have taken that as an opportunity to compromise, and to reach out to more than just his electoral base. He didn't. What will ultimately doom him is that could divide, but he couldn't unite.

[Mr.Bill]

8. So, basically, he's an asshole.

You did state it much better than I did, though.
