[QUOTE="Tom 1, post: 75179650, member: 404020"] To start on a positive note, after first sifting out the spin, propaganda and outright invention, what has Trump achieved? - an economy that had been growing steadily but slowly for around 12 years went into overdrive. - the revised NAFTA deal seems to be better than the old one in some significant ways. - someone needed to be confrontational with China, and Trump did this, although this has yet to conclude successfully it was time someone did confront China over intellectual property theft (etc) and Trump, albeit in fairly chaotic fashion, has done that. Is there anything else? On the other hand, his rule has seen the US govt descend into unparalleled levels of corruption, farce and comedy/frightening (depending on how directly you are affected I suppose) displays of outright bizarre, bigoted, dumb and downright nasty behaviour. That and the Kushner & co amateur hour seems to have made re-election unlikely, but I have the sneaking feeling that may be at least partially the result of wishful thinking. I don’t think it’s impossible that some unexpected event or series of events could lead to another Trump victory. What wild cards might there still be that could throw the election in his favour?
