Another thing about Trump is he is smart. During his election campaign he understood how the electoral college system works and outsmarted the professional politicians in the Democratic Party as well as Hillary Clinton and walked away with the election....now that is smart.

This is something I genuinely appreciate about him. He's mobilized the social democrats better than anyone else has been able to. That's not a flame or insult, just a fact.

That is true. But unfortunately he seems to have mobilized them to compete who can be the most outrageous in their positions and the most vocal in criticizing the President. And that plays to his advantage. It remains to be seen whether it will have any affect on the congressional elections.

He also plays his opponents, both Democrat and Republican, and most of the mainstream media like a fiddle. He knows just what to say to push a button that will cause them to create a tempest in a teapot and make all kinds of ridiculous assertions that are easily exposed as the meanspirited rhetoric based on no actual fact that it is. And right or wrong of him to do that, it has netted him a lot of additional support.

I hate it when he does that, but have to give him props for effectiveness. And one leftist writer--I'll think of his name by and by--very thoroughly described that as his greatest strength apart from his ability to identify and solve problems. Conservatives and the GOP have been so civilized and non confrontational and non combative in a down and dirty mud slinging world, that they sometimes get clobbered. For better or worse, President Trump isn't that way. :)

In making them try to 'out left' each other he is showing how far to the left the Democrats are willing to go just to get the nomination.....which seems to be much further than the average voter is willing to go.....as I said.....smart.

I don't understand why my post was deleted. I really do like that he is willing to stand up for positions unpopular in the republican party if he personally believes in them.

That's the thing. He seems to be resented and opposed equally by the permanent political class in both parties. Which makes him the first truly independent President we have ever had. :)

Not just opposed but President Trump is hated almost on a personal level

Another good thing he has done is calling out NATO members for not carrying their share of the load financially. Presidents have whined about that for decades but he is the first to bring it out in the open and start pushing the members to step up to the plate and do their share.....kudos to him for that.

He is a "to do list" type of guy. Everything he wants to do, he truly sets out to solve the problems. I guess we call this results oriented. Having such an approach in Washington DC is his biggest challenge.

I would agree with that assessment. It is remarkable that even in the face of all that hate that he controls his temper to the extent that he does. A lesser president would probably not hold himself back as well........

"Outrageous" seems to have worked for Trump, so we will see if the populist left can shock us in the same way with policies that would be decidedly centrist anywhere else.

Shocking would be a better description; shocking the people out of their lethargy that things will always be the same and we cannot have positive change....change that actually benefits the country as a whole such as low unemployment for every one and not just particular groups.

Not just opposed but President Trump is hated almost on a personal level

LOL I think not 'almost' but he is hated on a PERSONAL level. That's all most of the opposition has: personal insults. Those accuse him of vile or reckless or hateful or hateful intent no matter what he says or does or they deny that he has accomplished or is accomplishing anything.

And they dutifully parrot all the right lines, insults, insulting names, catch phrases, talking points, and dog whistles of how horrible he is, but they sure aren't interested in discussing the policies and initiatives that are yielding such good things. Or his support of American values that makes us all want to stand up and cheer. And that draws tens of thousands of happy, enthusiastic, peaceful typical American people to every one of his rallies. I've never seen anything like it.

I hope and pray there are enough thinking and responsible Americans left to choose what President Trump offers over what the opposition is offering.

Low unemployment is a start, but it means little if employment alone doesn't allow for more than mere subsistence. That's why hopefully we will be able to push better policies - like a living wage and medicare for all - thanks to the increased attention Trump has drawn to just how bad politics can get when we have the wrong leadership.

Enough of this. This thread is closed. There is a Republican safehouse where you can discuss what you appreciate about the president. This thread and the one countering it are generating too many reports.
