Nothing is ever the fault of Teflon Donald.
You know you're in trouble and you have his advisers blatantly lying left and right and then becoming indignant when people pull out photos proving that they are lying. They've already made up all kinds of silly things like massacres that never actually happened and the size of the inauguration crowd.
And yet nobody cares. They didn't want Hillary because she's a liar (and she is) but when this dude lies, it's because he's tough and sometimes you have to lie so as not to show your hand or something goofy like that.
Whatever!
Eventually, the smart people will figure this out. Others will tie themselves into knots to deny common sense to justify their earlier poor decisions. However, it is been my experience that in most instances, con men eventually are exposed.
I'm not a liberal either so if you want to blast Those Damn Liberals, have at it. I'm not even a Democrat. However, I am a rational thinking American and I can see what's happening here. People had to choose between two hideous choices and they chose the one I thought was the least hideous. Now, there are some people that want to try to elevate him and the answer is no. He is still the same awful choice he has been for the past few years and I'm not going to pretend otherwise regardless of his or my political leanings.
Feel better? lol
Don't necessarily disagree with all your musings above, but one thing should be made clear.
It came down to two pretty awful choices, but that didn't just "happen". On the dim side, yea, it was preordained, or rigged, one may call it. The entire DNC hierarchy was in on it, the debate "moderators" were in on it, self-proclaimed Hacks, the print press was getting stories pre-screened and approved and layer after layer after layer.
The R side, had the largest, most qualified, most varied in experience field of choices to ever run for either major political party. By far. Not even close. And guess what?
President Trump beat 'em all. He didn't elect himself, the voters in 30 of the 50 States elected him. The largest Republican electoral margin of victory in nearly 30 years.
So unless your contention is that voters in 30 States and some ridiculous majority of Counties are all largely irrational, I think you may be missing much the same things the blithering morons that ran that awful campaign did.
It's not so much excusing him or what he may or may not do, it's refusing to continue to excuse what these people in DC have been doing now for a generation or more.
He's been in office 18 days, you giving up already?!? lol.
