47 2nd term started with so much promise and I had such high expectations and excitement

And the first few months/quarters were looking great.
But he quickly strayed too far off path with the colossal shite pile roll out of the Epstein files. Then add Tariffs and Iran (both of which I think were good and necessary things but handled terribly) and his complete inability to ever admit he’s wrong and then double down on dumb decisions.
Sprinkle in his pretty clear self serving and family corruption and people had enough.
Trump was once a very powerful force with so much potential but has failed to deliver on too much. (Btw he’ll still be better than any democrat)

And that was when the democrats and RINO’s got busy. But aren’t you supposed to be happy now

Epstein files didn’t matter. This Iran clusterfrick and sustained high fuel prices and high interest rate were the problem.
What Trump is doing with Iran is a massive failure in the long run. Next president … regardless of party… will not enforce any agreement using the military. Trump needed and still needs a change in leadership for any long term nuclear deal to work.
Iran just has to wait Trump out. Not sure why this wasn’t part of the calculation.
I’m a Trump supporter and so is my wife and family. Everybody tired of $5+ dollar diesel and 7+% interest rates. He still got our votes but way too many people are struggling with high costs. People voted with their wallet in my opinion.
Trump fricked up big time.

7% rates on what mortgages?
Are you buying or refinancing?

Yea - I am not sure what prompted such an unforced error. He was having an almost perfect presidency until he stepped into that pile of shite.

Another thing with the Iran war is it eroded political capital necessary to ramp up deportations. I didn't vote for him to go to war with a country that was not a threat to us. I voted for him first and foremost to fix immigration and hoped it would be 90% done before the midterms. But nope, we got war and Reps got it handed to them last night.

Combine the two, even if you're successful, cost a lot of political capital. Handle it is terribly as he did and you're dead in the water

When you have more EO’s than the last 7 presidents combined blocked by judges from the other side, it’s kinda hard to do your job. How much better off would we be if the entire left didn’t spend every waking moment of their life dedicated to making his job impossible?

The country is not supposed to be run by EOs

Using this as a standard is why we are in the place we are in now.
If we don't demand effective conservative governance out of our elected officials that gets actual, sustainable results, we shouldn't be surprised when we have nothing to sell to voters and end up pissing down our own leg.

And republicans did nothing to codify any of his EOs.

This was foisted on him by democrats and republicans fell for it. This was never a campaign issue and was never the reason he was voted in. But as soon as he took office the Democratic media decided it was the only thing that mattered.

This. Feckless GOP. We blame Trump for not being able to do everything himself. He’s not an emperor.

Well, he certainly fixed the border. There is not much to complain about Trump on immigration.
First off, Iran is a threat to us. They are the biggest destabilizer there is in the Middle East and we’re funding terrorism in more than the Middle East. Trump was right to be concerned about Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. He just hasn’t handled what he has done well. Few presidents have.
However, if a Democrat had done the same thing, there would be very little media saying we’ve lost the war and complaining about high gas prices. Instead the media would be saying that oil prices aren’t really that high and that oil companies are gouging the consumer.
Had Republicans passed the Save Act they may have generated some enthusiasm in their base and had a better result.
