Yes, I watched them do it for four years and he never got any better at fighting them. He didn’t learn on the job and he hasn’t changed, so why would I expect anything different? I think it sucks that we have so many shitty people in government but they exist, and even though he got some good things done he’s just in over his head in that environment.
I think it's due to his business background. Meaning he is used to running the show and people doing what he asks. President of the USA is not a monarchy and has limited areas where it is only his call. He did well on foreign relations due to this and was terrible on the home front where he had to work with congress.
Basically everything he got done domestically was through EOs that were instantly reversed.

This. He's not running for the office of King.
And the problem is that his massive, highly narcissistic ego will not allow him to approach the situation in any way except a dictatorial one.
That doesn't work with this job. Or, as you pointed out, to the extent that it does, it only works temporarily.
With Trump we'll get better foreign relations and better appointed judges than we would with a Democrat in office, but probably not better than just about any other Republican.
He does enforce immigration law to a decent degree, and he does bring some ideas to the table regarding tariffs and the like that no other Republicans will. Still not sure whether those are good or bad ideas, but they are interesting.
Other than that, I'm not sure what the big advantage of having that specific guy in office are. We need a Republican this time around...I don't like to think about another Biden presidency, but I can't see a big argument for why it's got to be Trump.
I'll vote for whoever has the best chance to beat Biden. If that ends up being Trump, so be it. If it ends up being someone else, that's fine too.
