For some, sure. The dislike for Trump goes past his policies.

He says he is black so respect that.

Why can't you do that ?

Will his transcript be there for public consumption?

I hope everybody on both sides can judge him fairly....I'm sure it will take a long time, but eventually it will need to be done.

he was pretty terrible if you just look at what he did and forget the 'he was the first black president'. His biggest accomplishment was inflicting a huge healthcare mess that's even worse than what we had before, which is collapsing under the weight of it's own stupidity in less than a decade. On the domestic front his tacit approval of the rise of things like BLM have degraded race relations to lows not seen since the 60s. Militarily he gutted our fighting ability while still managing to blow through unimaginable amounts of money, more concerned with making sure we have enough trannies than if we can actually fight a war. On the foreign policy front he displayed a weird combination of cowardice and belligerence (with no resolve to back anything up) and imcompetance. He presided over the rise of Isis, stole defeat out of the jaws of victory in Iraq and Afghanistan, bungled Syria, north Africa, Russia, North Korea, pretty much every international interaction for the last 8 years. Economically he managed to blow 10 trillion dollars for essentially no benefit to the country. He was a complete disaster, but at least he was black and could give a decent speech.

Not really. I am white and I can admit to the historic value of it. If the situation were reversed, we would be just as happy for the first white President. I mean, lets at least TRY to push partisanship aside for a moment.

If it were scaled down it would look like the hut in Kenya where his brother is living.

What's your point? That's just what a recovery from a recession looks like. It would have recovered to normal levels with $0 blown by the federal government. In fact the recovery from that recession was the slowest and weakest in US history.
