You just don’t get it - Trump’s not a diplomat, a statesman, or any of the roles our history classes taught us that a president ought to be.

And I’m sorry if you bought that baloney.

The most effective presidents are hard core negotiators and salesmen. They set a goal and get people to run through walls to achieve them. I don’t get it either, but Trump has that quality. In spades.

He’s not an idealist, he’s not even a pragmatist. He’s a bare knuckles brawler and, I’m sorry - the economy was in better shape when he was there, and he addressed my red button topic: abortion (which, by the way, he’s backtracking on, now that he can leave it to the SCOTUS).

The democrats had 4 years to prove they could a hit their goals and the situation SUCKS.
