I will concede that many of his appointments were busts, but as some of the commenters at AT pointed out : Most of the things on that list were things he did not have the authority to do or was blocked by Mitch/Ryan/Pelosi/Schumer.
The Democrats and their media allies used the entrenched government bureaucracy and a weaponized DOJ to undercut him at every turn. I actually remember the frustration of the fight against almost all of DC and the fact that he got anything done in the face of the opposition is amazing.
The author is guilty of the very same flaw he assigns to Trump supporters; namely: He expects that Trump should have had the success rate of a God. When one is constantly fending off sociopaths and Mandarins (eg, Pelosi & McConnell), expecting God-like outcomes from a mere mortal is asking too much. And did he mention that over 90% of the mainstream press continued to publish negative and fake news against him?
And here’s my other question — let’s say you vote for someone other than Trump, what guarantee do you have that this Republican President won’t encounter the same obstacles that Trump faced?
Interesting Trump vs. MAGA thread bump.
I have issues with this author regarding his demand that Trump be able to accomplish his MAGA agenda under the constitutional CONSTRAINTS imposed on him by his position.

I just want to commend you. This is one of the clearest, to the point, common sense posts I have seen here in a while. Nailed it on every point. This is a biased article that totally ignores all that Trump actually did get done, in spite of the enormity of obstacles placed in front of him by both parties and the deep state. So many straw man arguments.
Precisely.
Thank you.
Calling people stubborn who disagree is about the weakest, most pathetic argument there is, if you can even call it an argument.
He is saying Trump supporters only support Trump because they are unable or unwilling to see or admit “the truth”.
This prick of an author can go f himself.
It’s Trump or libertarian.
Their move.
