re: Trump’s second term is going to be a complete failure

It's been pretty bad so far, but complete failure? Really? If you take away the Iran/MIGA boondoggle and the tariff BS, the dude has had a lot of success thus far. Tax cuts, the concept of DOGE, which needs to be take much more seriously in the future and we have to get congress involved if we are ever to get any fiscal sanity back to this country, de-regulation, knocking DEI out of the culture (for now). So far i'd give him a C+

MIGA and the Tarrifs are pretty big mistakes. i'd add in multiple government shut downs. It's easy to just blame democrats, but remember this president says that a shut down is the failure of the president. This admin refuses to work with the other side at all.


DOGE was political warfare and propaganda. Half the shite they came out and said was waste was inflated numbers or just flat out not true. They also never targeted conservative waste/fraud. DEI culture would include hires like Hegseth (DUI Culture as well). Tax cuts were for some folks, and even those were overpromised. " NO TAX ON TIPS" ....except after 25k.


And the BBB was far from fiscal sanity. it screws over several sectors

Your nails painted?

It’s already an overwhelming success - are there things I wish he’d done better? Sure

But overall, he has done an amazing job and is easily the best president of my lifetime (57 years old, so that does include Reagan, and I NEVER thought I’d say something like that)

His first term wasn't that great either. The tax bill was a big plus but he celebrated prematurely and Obamacare reform failed. No infrastructure bill passed. Covid response was a mess. North Korea was a brilliant move but wasn't followed-up so they are still belligerent.

---

Well, Russiagate and COVID were deliberate actions against him, so while I didn’t like his COVID response, I could see it as a no-win situation for him.

Harder to find legit excuses in this second term. He came into office with all the momentum and mandate he could have hoped for, and what has he done with it?

he scapegoats all his hires who were completely loyal to him doing everything exactly the way he wanted

He did this in his first term. Are you just noticing?

Going to be? It already is

You guys sure are working overtime to push this fallacy.

Need to get Biden and Kamala back in there. They were simply amazing and did a lot of great things for our country

Nothing like his 1st term. He lies, he doesn’t put America first, he scapegoats all his hires who were completely loyal to him doing everything exactly the way he wanted. He is just as corrupt as the knuckleheads in Congress. I hope we can find someone in 2028 that will do the job the way 2016 Trump did.

I was quite happy with Trump 2.0 up until this war with Iran where they appear to be woefully unprepared for the effect the war was going to have on Strait of Hormuz and energy prices.

It’s not Trump. It is Congress, with the Senate being the greatest barrier to implementing his agenda. The GOP Senators, particularly the ones with the most sway, have fricked him and us 10 ways to Sunday.
