“You know, aside from more powerful foreign relations…..”

What are you talking about?  Our NATO allies are backing away from us because Trump appears much less willing & interested in being united with them….. hypocritically refusing to endorse Article 5 (which required THEM to help US after 9/11), lecturing and attempting to embarrass them by claiming they are in debt to us (not true), and embracing the Saudi’s whose country is a primary ideological & financial hub for radical Sunni theology.

,”and generating allies to defeat terriosm” 

Are you talking about Philippine president Duterte?   Trump was among the few world leaders who congratulated him on his authoritarian tactics…. So yesterday, Duterte told his troops he would OK  raping women as part of his declaration of martial law.    Some ally he will be.   Do you honestly think the Isreali's are MORE supportive of us after Trump revealed secret info they had given us?   On the other hand, Vladimir Putin seems firmly in support of President Donald Trump's every action.   

“, and better border protection” 

The wall on the Mexico border?   That idea hasn’t gone anywhere because even a Republican Congress understands it to be a wasteful boondoggle rather than a meaningful tactic.   Border protection remains about the same as before.

“and ferretting out criminal illegals”

What is mostly happening is that people who have over-stayed their visas (some having lived here for many years while working, contributing to their community and being law-abiding) are being arrested and deported when they do their annual check-in with ICE.   Criminals are being arrested and deported on about the same scale as before, it’s the law abiding immigrants that are now being rounded up to satisfy Immigrant-haters.

 “and the economy”

Well, the stock market is up…. But it’s too early to declare that Trump has improved the economy.   All the recent hubbub can be explained by 1) Obama’s handling of the economy set us on a good upward trajectory and 2) the irrational exuberance of Wall Street minions who expect Trump will remove restrictions on how they can make money….. like rolling back environmental & consumer protections.   What has Trump done to improve the economy?   Well, HIS business interests certainly appear to be surging into high-profit territory…. That’s for sure.

“, and more jobs staying in usa” 

Can you prove that after only 4 months in office with something besides Donald’s tweets as evidence? 

“and a resolve for american pride” 

Well, the guy has insulted world leaders (Australia, Germany, Mexico), spilled US intelligence info to the Russians because he was too dim to keep up with what was supposed to be top secret,  accused the former POTUS of wiretapping him (wrong, but he didn’t apologize), boasted to the Russian Ambassador & Foreign Minister that fired FBI director Comey was “a nut job” but admits to firing him to impede the Russia investigations on NBC,   appears now to have authorized his son in law to establish a secret back channel of communications to the Kremlin that would not be known to the US government,   hired General Flynn in spite of all warnings, then elevated him to the most sensitive position in the White House, canned him only after news reports surfaced confirming he was working too closely with Russians and had failed to register as a paid foreign agent while he was both in the campaign and serving in the White House.    None of that contributes to national pride.   It makes us look inept, foolish, and intentionally incompetent.

“and a push toward justice” 

Where do you see that happening?   You think taking medical insurance, food stamps & educational resources away from people is justice?  

“and a surge of support for law enfoecement” 

Is it odd to claim Trump supports law enforcement when he is on record saying he will pay the legal expenses of anyone who assaults a protestor?   How about encouraging his supporters to intiimidate the news media by calling them the enemy?    Is it supportive of law enforcement when he delittles the FBI director to the Russians?  How about when he approaches various law enforcement officials and asks them to back off investigating how the Russians supported & assisted him to win the Presidency? 

“and a classy first lady and daughter” 

Melania & Ivanka are beautiful women.   Melania looks good naked.   And Michelle Obama caught hell for wearing sleeveless dresses.   Melania & Ivanka are great examples of beautiful white women.   I’m happy for them.

“......this presidency has been a disaster!” 

And we are only 4 months into it so far…….
