I have a few disagreements, but you stated your points very well - except for the rants.

Donald Trump may have all the polish of a NYC construction crew, but he gets the basics right. Jackson, Lincoln, and Truman were also denigrated as unpolished people unworthy of the high social status of President. But as national leaders, they were certainly not the worst of the lot.

Trump said he didnt know if he had to uphold the Constitution, which is the exact oath he takes for the office. To say he gets the 'basics' right is beyond laughable.

And it's not about his 'polish.' It's about the fact that he's a crook, a liar, a conman, a treasonous lump of Russian-asset scum, out to milk this nation dry - FOR HIS OWN BENEFIT - and then to leave the dying husk at the feet of our geopolitical foes. Your willful ignorance of even the most elementary aspects of patriotism is astounding. You get Top MAGA for the day.

Whatever Trump said or mis-said, he has not violated anything his legally qualified advisors believe is a proper interpretation of the Constitution. Indeed he has committed to obey SCOTUS, the only Constitutionally created court and the only Court given Constitutionally mandated powers.

OH!

LOL!!

You got me. I thought you were serious. I can see now you're just clowning. You willfully brushed over the fact that THE MOST BASIC part of Trump's job is to uphold and protect the Constitution, and he said he didnt know if he had to do that. He's previously said it should be terminated - to benefit HIM, of course. So, he's the most anti-American, anti-Constitution disgrace ever to hold ANY office, at ANY time in our nation's history. At some point, the dam is going to break, and Trump and his supporters will face the patriotic justice they deserve. Gitmo, military tribunals that make the Nuremburg Trials seem like light morning TV fare, and then justice so severe and certain that no Russian asset ever slithers out from under their rocks, again. Red MAGA caps will be as reviled as swastikas [and rightly so]. These are not our neighbors, misguided friends. These are enemies of our republic, and they should be regarded by all decent citizens as such.

Yes, and with that as the metric, Trump has been an absolute FAILURE and has not achieved anything you've brought up.

Border is closed. Hourly worker wages grew reletive to inflation during both Trulp administrations. Workers lost wages to inflation during Biden. And Trump's OBBB has not been passed yet. He promised tarrifs and delivered, like it or not. Action? Plenty.
