So they’re going for “Gotcha!”
Much of the “liberal fearmongering” about Trump has come true.
I think it's been actually worse than what trump opponents predicted. I totally expected the rampant corruption, cozying up to Putin (albeit not as overt), a trade war and threats of nuclear war.
I did not expect:
-Completely ignoring his base's real problems (opioids, healthcare, education, modern jobs)
-Putting no effort into truly understanding policy issues
-Making no real attempt to unify the country following the election (acceptance speech excluded)
-Purposely trying to divide the country on a daily basis
-Never once visiting troops overseas
-A complete and utterly dysfunctional White House (terrible communication, conflicting statements, not doing proper homework on executive orders before rolling them out, high turnover)
-Calling the press "the enemy of the people" like he's fucking Joseph Stalin (thought this type of rhetoric would stay in the election)
-Personally disrespecting our allies through unwarranted tariffs and personal insults (seriously how the hell do you piss off Canada?)
-Complete appeasement of Putin in broad daylight
-Delivering the single most successful propaganda campaign to North Korea without receiving anything in return
-Blatant lies or ignorant statements just about every time he opens his mouth
-Systematic attacks on constitutional norms
-Baby internment camps
A lot of people thought this joker would "pivot" or mature if elected to office. I always feared this man (especially on Russia) but his complete buffoonery and lack of desire to expand beyond his base has been the two most surprising developments for me.
