Grade President Trump so far
- Thread starter tlwwake
- Start date
Solid B, and climbing. I think someone did one of these back on October or so, and I had him at a B-. Tax cuts are good. Clearly the Russia scandal is nothing. Draining the swamp was never going to get done, but he's brought a BUNCH of sunlight to it, and as a wise woman once said: "Sunlight is the greatest disinfectant". He's even slowed down on the outrageous/attacking tweet storms. Much more controlled in his behavior. He hasn't built his wall yet, but he's shifted the narrative around it, and suddenly Dems will be willing to support it in order to get their Dreamers 'saved'.
He will never act 'presidential' in the usual sense of the word. IMO he should not be expected to either as he was elected as an outsider.
Given all the crap he had had to deal with he gets an B+ trending toward an A.

I did not vote for the man, I voted for his platform and policies. I will give him an A. The only reason Healthcare reform did not go thru was because of RINOS in the Senate.
I laughed when he said Mexico would pay for the wall, never believed that, but hey go for it.
I wanted the wall, period.
As for him personally, I knew when I voted for him he would be Trump, I was ok with that because my vote was a business/policy vote. When it comes to business, you should not take things pesonally. We knew Hillary was crooked.
I have come to see his tweets in hindsight to have more truth then some want to admit. Although his tweets are unconventional it is the only way for him to fairly communicate with the American people, and his bluntness has caused the public to debate issues very hard.
He was probably the perfect candidate to expose the wrongdoing in the DOJ and FBI. Any other Rep candidate most likely would be a weak stick on this. He has made a ton of so called political enemies but that is exactly what is causing a lot of stuff to be revealed.
Very wise person once told me a lot of Good could come out of a lot of conflict. That is what many do in life, they avoid conflict at either work or at home and things get worse not better. I am appreciating the conflict Trump is causing, it is the only way to call a spade a spade and get things fixed, conflict is not easy, some hate it, some want safe rooms.
We have avoided an honest conversation about many things for a long time, all over being PC and worrying about hurti feelings.
Today, I wonder why I had any reservations about my vote. Dems want to shame you for voting for him, only thing I am embarrassed about is why did I have a small amount reservation for voting for him. It was either him or not vote, and I had to vote. I think my reservation came down to knowing Trump would create conflict, but I can see now it is needed, more then we thought.
A lot of Good can come out of conflict, and most of the conflicts he is winning.
My dad fought in WW2, grew up in the depression, grew up poor. He was from Chicago, he was loud, he was a proud American, he spoke his mind, he cussed, and for him there was no gray area, and he loved everyone and helped many. I can handle Trump just fine.

A solid B in the performance department. An A+ in the extracurricular activity for causing the left to melt into a hysterical blob of useless political diarrhea.
Half the time they can be repurposed for the other side. They're almost like gifts.
