re: Liberals & Anti-Trumpers: What's More Important to You? Trump Failing or a Prosperous USA?

Nothing is more important to me than a prosperous USA. It helps everyone. This is a bad question because Trump failing doesn't prevent a prosperous USA. I don't want Trump to fail. He's taking care of it all on his own. I was hoping that his act during the primary and general election was just that, an act, and that once he got in the office he would act like someone who respects the office.

I'm asking this because the Trump hate surpasses anything we've ever seen in American politics. Obama was polarizing, but unlike Trump 1) he had the media in his corner, and 2) half the country wasn't calling for his impeachment before he was even sworn in.

Have you been on this board for the past 8 years? Have you seen Fox News any over the past 8 years? The Obama hate from the right was just as vicious as anything we are seeing toward Trump. Most media outlets are more liberal, especially if you look at their editorial board, but if you are going to act like Trump is being attacked every time there is a news story that makes him look bad then you are going to start sounding like the boy who cried wolf. The press is supposed to question the Presidents actions. Did they do it enough to Obama? Maybe not but that doesn't mean they shouldn't question Trump.

So, which is It? Would you grudgingly give Trump his due if America started thriving under his leadership, or do you want to see Trump crash & burn no matter the effect on the country?

If Trump does something that helps the economy then i'll be happy to give him credit. I think there are many things he could do to help the economy. He's done alot so far helping bring some jobs back to the US. Do more of that.

He's new to politics and is making some rookie mistakes because of it. Will he learn from his mistakes? That's where I'm worried. I dont think he's wired to ever think he makes mistakes and I'm not sure he has someone close to him that he trusts to tell him when he's acting like a clown. I would hope that someone in his inner circle would have told him by now to double check his "facts" before shitposting on Twitter. And he's yet to have press conference, interview, or live, unscripted, appearance where he didn't come across as a dunce. It's embarrassing
