Yes, Trump personally was a $h!+a$$. He was boorish. Yes, he would sometimes play a little fast and loose with the truth and embellishment (really now, what politician doesn’t?????) He was unrelenting in his self-promotion. At times, he was downright unlikable . . . BBBUUUUUTTTTT, in terms of policy and effectiveness, for regular Americans like me, he was clearly the best President of my lifetime . . . even better than Reagan.

Maybe all the character flaws led to great decisions in his drive to be the best

My life was better off under trump than Biden that is for sure. I am reminded of the that at the gas station

That sums it up. He’s no saint but he kept his campaign promises and America improved under his leadership. I saw a lot of young people of every background start jobs, and they were motivated to be trained and get going. We got conservative judges. We got pushback against social deterioration. Most importantly, we got more hope for the little guy, in his economic prospects and personal freedom.
I held my nose and voted for Trump. No regrets whatsoever.

Reagan had something that Trump never had.. Tip O’Neill.

Tip O’Neill was a problem solver, Pelosi is a divider, selfish, and lacking.

Exactly. List all the personality defects you want. Some are true. Yet with it all he is the best president in my lifetime.

I always think of Lincoln’s remark about Grant, when they denounced him as a slob and a drunk: I can’t spare this man, he fights.

Trump fights. He never gives up. And he’s not owned by anyone, which is the primary reason they hate and fear him.

I liked him. A lot. And I thought he did the country a lot of good. And he showed the pols how it’s done. That’s what ticked them off.
