Totally agree. As someone that liked him at first, I was constantly disappointed every time he opened his mouth and said something completely insane... which was all the time. Every time he did something good, he would immediately proceed to shit all over his accomplishments by being a total twat. He made it very hard to keep defending him.
It's hard to look past all the crazy stuff he said, but (if you can manage it) he actually wasn't a terrible president. He de-escalated a number of conflicts throughout his presidency but nobody took any notice because unfortunately his antics always take the spotlight.
The greatest thing he accomplished is proving to the republican party that they don't need to play PC games like the democrats.
Deru said:Although, I can’t go as far as to say if Trump was a better human being then that would have even helped, because if you change one thing about a person, typically it will ultimately affect the whole of who someone is. Some of his accomplishments are probably, ultimately, in some way shape or form, tied to the same traits that became his downfall.
Not sure I agree with this part. He dialed it back successfully during the second presidential debate and actually came across like a reasonable person for once. I don't see why he couldn't have done this more often.
