He gets a few things done but really it’s his dialogue and tact that is an embarrassment across the world. Straight up lies in everyone’s faces. Rambles often almost incoherently. Lashes out at anyone that is against him an anyway while showing support to those that are loyal regardless of who they are. Seeing news casters have to report on it seriously and have trump spokespeople trying to spin it all into something that attempts to be reasonable is almost unbelievable to see.

Almost 30% of his term is done. How much longer would u give?
I can't tell if this is sarcasm, but we are on newgaf, so I'll assume it isn't.
He's been president for an entire year. Most of that year has been him being a whiney little chode on twitter, people from his cabinet resigning, him calling every piece of information that doesn't fellate him "fake news", him rambling incoherently with his limited vocabulary, declining intelligence briefings, forcing his press secretaries to lie about the crowd size of his inauguration, refusing to impose sanctions on Russia while screaming "no puppet!" and declaring himself the most unfairly treated president in all of history, not even a decade after he led an entire movement accusing the last president of being a secret kenyan muslim, a belief he still holds. I think we know what he's actually like. Christ, just listen to that dumb mother fucker talk, that should tell you all you need to know.

I do not know, but I believe he will get another mandate.

...and another, and another, and another...
However unlikely it is that he'll amend the Constitution, and even if he said it in half-jest, it's pretty clear Trump would prefer a dictatorship.

Came in here to post about this. Trump he's inept, un-curious, an embarrassment, a cartoon like person, opposite of presidential, etc.. But the lasting harm he's done to the office of the presidency and the country with his nonsense is something we will be dealing with years after his term.

One of the worst mistakes is messing up our relationships with our allies from pushing leaders out of the way for a picture, to name calling to trade war threats. And yet nothing on Russia.

His first year was awful and if you think otherwise, then you have a screw loose.

GAFs first posts these days are always fuckin' totally cooked...
Too many laymen trying to interpret Trumps affects on the economy or stock market not realizing there are wide ranging variables as to why the economy does this or that or the stock market does this or that. If you haven't looked at all the variables and have not done a deep analysis you simply don't can't have a rational opinion one way or the other.
The only real thing you can look at is the legislation that Trump is directly related to. And on that note everything he's done has been for the benefit of the rich and corporations and to the detriment of the middle class. He's working against the very people that support him, it's sad to see the marathon duping that's going on.

While you are probably right about bias from some here, it's worth also noting that Paul Krugman is a highly highly partisan guy toward the Dem side.

As a twitter comedian, he has been spectacular.
As a president, I am honestly not sure. Embarassing, bad, maybe some good?
Still, I doubt Clinton or Sanders would have been any better, all three seemed like terrible choices. If I was american I would probably throw it to Gary "what is aleppo" Johnson.

It is interesting. If you don't care about "how european liberal community" (though they prefer to say that the whole world) is looking at you, it is pretty normal and nothing seriously changed.

He's not even done, I heard McMaster is on the way out too, and Tillerson soon. But so far its over 20. Its bad. No other administration in American history has had this kind of turn over rate.

It's okay Trump said he has the 10 best people lined up for each job ready to go
No this is a normal human who's first concern is me and my family first.
that's the definition of "fuck you, got mine." normal human beings are able to care about people beyond just their family and themselves.

Yeah but ultimately your average person cares much less about other people... Family is always a much stronger bond than species alone...
Yup. That's why it's important that I give my family a stable and just infrastructure in which to exist. I benefit directly from investment in public programs to pull people out of poverty, trade relationships that are reasonable and fair, investments in educating the poor, and rehabilitating criminals. I know this because I live in a city and state that largely values those things and we thrive because of it.

It's so funny how the "resistance" thinks that him screwing a woman who gets paid to have sex (for free), ten years before being elected, is really going to make people turn on him (other than Melania maybe?). It's also a sad reflection on our public schools and universities to read the comments suggesting that those pesky evangelicals have to either turn on him or be deemed hypocrites / condemned to hell. If these people were actually educated (for real, not just on paper), they would probably understand that one candidate's cheating on a third wife does not mean people who believe in God must instead support killing unborn children and everything else they are taught is a mortal sin.

Oh it's just the sad state of the world we live in now. Years from now your kids will learn that the 45th was the first president to have an affair with a pornstar.
We should totally accept that our president is a total fucking scumbag and move on right?
Stop being a pollyanna and accept that we are just gonna wallow in shit for eternity. Get with it people! Stop expecting so much from your fellow countrymen.

Will that be before or after the section of him bringing about world peace in second term?
Also pretty much the children will be too traumatized after reading about #42 if, as you are implying, history books will for some reason include details about their sex lives.
Your thought, not mine.

Nice twist. Don't bullshit me you know exactly what I meant. Me and mine come first and always will. Then my community, then state, then country.
If that means "fuck you got mine" then so be it. Im proud of the fact that I provide for me and mine first.

Right.
Who gives a hoot who Trump stuck his dick in 10+ years ago. Everybody knows Trump has been no saint. This is some petty shit the MSM and Dems are trying to keep going because they have nothing.

Ya know, if that was the only thing that happened, you'd have a point.
No, the issue was that we now have a huge payment to silence the few women who apparently have some pretty damning evidence, which could be considered illegal by laws set in place for elections. And considering Trump has completely ignored worse claims of sexual assault, it really drives the conversation back around to being interesting again.
Once again, Trump's stupid decisions makes something bad into something way worse.
Haha. I have to say this made me LOL.

I think it's more so about major outlets that hold themselves out as impartial. I've read the fox crowd doesn't mind MSNBC as much as CNN because at least they're up front about their agenda, even if it's more vitriolic.

We also have huge payments made to women to fabricate damning evidence, so really who gives a shit at this point?

Okay.
So, what does this have to do with Trump and/or his lawyer breaking election laws?
Fucking over other people? What? The sheer mental gymnastics your going thru right now to some how make me look like a bad guy when I stated very clearly what is important to every person on this planet, is nothing short of demented.
You have serious issues if you think what I said is somehow bad. Serious issues.
Don't put words in my mouth ever. I never said I have a desire to fuck people over. Maybe your working thru some personal issues, or something you did in the past that's your problem.
The order I listed im sure is true for the overwhelming majority of Americans/world. Family first. Everything else is secondary.

Please, don't backpedal. We know exactly what you mean. At least own it like you did above. I'm sure most people have at least some compassion and kindness to others rather than "I and mine come first, everyone else gets whatever is left over, if any".

Think fast. Your kid is about to get run over and killed by a train. You have just enough time to pull a lever to switch the tracks to save your kid, but if you do, the train will instead destroy and kill a large bus full of strangers. What do you do?

Just about as reasonable as contending that being happy about some tax cuts means laughing maniacally wishing all others to burn in hell.
