Meathead Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 It is impossible to know where his presidency will lead or how much damage he will do to our nation. It was no secret during the campaign that Donald Trump was a narcissist and a demagogue who used fear and dishonesty to appeal to the worst in American voters. The Times called him unprepared and unsuited for the job he was seeking, and said his election would be a “catastrophe.” Still, nothing prepared us for the magnitude of this train wreck. Like millions of other Americans, we clung to a slim hope that the new president would turn out to be all noise and bluster, or that the people around him in the White House would act as a check on his worst instincts, or that he would be sobered and transformed by the awesome responsibilities of office. Instead, seventy-some days in — and with about 1,400 to go before his term is completed — it is increasingly clear that those hopes were misplaced. In a matter of weeks, President Trump has taken dozens of real-life steps that, if they are not reversed, will rip families apart, foul rivers and pollute the air, intensify the calamitous effects of climate change and profoundly weaken the system of American public education for all. His attempt to de-insure millions of people who had finally received healthcare coverage and, along the way, enact a massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich has been put on hold for the moment. But he is proceeding with his efforts to defang the government’s regulatory agencies and bloat the Pentagon’s budget even as he supposedly retreats from the global stage. These are immensely dangerous developments which threaten to weaken this country’s moral standing in the world, imperil the planet and reverse years of slow but steady gains by marginalized or impoverished Americans. But, chilling as they are, these radically wrongheaded policy choices are not, in fact, the most frightening aspect of the Trump presidency. What is most worrisome about Trump is Trump himself. He is a man so unpredictable, so reckless, so petulant, so full of blind self-regard, so untethered to reality that it is impossible to know where his presidency will lead or how much damage he will do to our nation. His obsession with his own fame, wealth and success, his determination to vanquish enemies real and imagined, his craving for adulation — these traits were, of course, at the very heart of his scorched-earth outsider campaign; indeed, some of them helped get him elected. But in a real presidency in which he wields unimaginable power, they are nothing short of disastrous. http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-ed-our-dishonest-president/ stop sugar coating it and let us know how you really feel, LA Times it wasnt hard to predict that he would be a disaster. piece of ѕhit individual will get piece of ѕhit results i was hopeful that his not actually being republican would have him enlisting democrats and breaking this horrible intractable partisan war we are stuck in, but those hopes are fading fast. and unless hes houdini and can some out of this whole russian thing unscathed he will be soon facing serious threats from his own party ten months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Already shaping up as worst president ever. By far! If he left today he would probably win the honor, though the shortness of his time served might help him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko78 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hilarious how the liberal media is flipping out when president actually does what he said he would do on the campaign trail. Of course this has absolutely nothing to do with their endorsed girl Hillary running a horrible campaign and getting her ass kicked in the electoral college.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Not for nothing but why does this have to be a liberal thing? The guy was a blowhard when he tried to buy the Buffalo Bills. He's one of those guys that always claims "He's the best or only works with the best". Winning. Everyone has worked with one of those people. They lost. boo hoo hoo feel their pain should be a fun 8 years of Trump I'd rather have Bush back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
