Not doing everything precisely correct as every single individual expected in their opinion. I mean, I don't know what he was thinking.

Germophobia.

It took an overhyped virus to get him to back himself into a corner with the swamp.

I am willing to give Trump some leeway with staffing issues because this was largely a result of the Mueller investigation. This was an invaluable tool for the establishment to apply pressure to incoming admin personnel and allowed for GOPe types to infest the admin while booting guys like Bannon and Flynn. All of this happened early on and there wasn’t much Trump could do. He was screwed from the get go and Paul Ryan and co. let it happen.

His biggest crime was failing to draw attention to his supporters from various walks of life and corners of the net being brutalized in the streets and otherwise having their lives ruined. This ties in with his failure to reign in big tech. Again, not much he could do. No way for him to set an agenda at a DOJ that voted 97% for Clinton and spent his entire Presidency trying to frame him as a Russian spy.

He should have signed that executive order banning CRT and nuking their funding on day one. Instead, he gave them a 6 month vacay before Biden took over. EO’s were his only effective means of wielding any power so he should have used them more effectively.

Ultimately, the people of this country failed him and the tremendous sacrifice and effort he made to keep the dam from breaking. Liberals and normies looked the other way while Julian Assange was black bagged like something out if the USSR, while a “lone nut” tried to take out the entire freedom caucus, while losing their shite over a dead junkie and a fat chick. This country has the leader it deserves.

Completely agree. He accomplished a ton. Only a fool could ignore that.

He did not fully understand the depth of the swamp.

He walked in, kicked the hornets nest, and then he walked away.

We are left to absorb the anger of the American political elite.

Thanks bro!

Not wiping the swamp first month. He was surrounded by backstabbers.

An inability to concentrate on getting policy through Congress. I know it’s popular to say that Ryan and McConnell were RINOs but Trump was the president and had the biggest platform in the country and was only able to really pass Ryan’s tax reform. Everything else was an executive order and was immediately undone by Biden. The fact that he spent so much political capital trying and failing to destroy the ADA without actually putting out his alternative plan is telling. It’s a shame because how gut was in the right place, but he liked playing rightwing media personality when he should have been actually draining the swamp and changing things for a generation

let himself get carried away with Mexico will pay for the wall.

haunted his term. some creepy shenanigans using defense dept money for wall.

let himself be carried away on repeal and replace without having a replacement. years of talk and gop could not pass a replacement.

same issue. goes rah rah in campaign without reality based planning.

Was George Bush a Conservative? Who was the last Conservative president?


Good question, and I don't think Bush was conservative.

Even Ronald Reagan was a mixed bag. Yeah, he presided over income tax reductions of the top tier from 70% to 28%, but he also presided over an expansion of Social Security and Medicare. He wouldn't even go along with a cost of living freeze for SS, as some in his party proposed. And we all know how much the federal debt went up under his watch.

Maybe Calvin Coolidge. Or William Howard Taft.

It was the GOP’s job to have an Obamacare fix ready to go. They only campaigned on it for the better part of a decade.

Paul Ryan literally retired from politics rather than help Trump lmao

Bad hires. Failed to capitalize on the opportunity to cater to Asians that are discriminated against in Academia. Failed to capitalize on being the drug decriminalization president. Failed to hold China accountable for COVID-19. Fell for the trap set for him on Jan 6th.

His low IQ or his nonexistent integrity. It’s a toss up.

If he is that dumb and that rich, how dumb does that make you? You should do some research and look up the business school he went to. Or just keep talking out your arse.

Hired the wrong Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Should have found the closet thing to Brig. Gen. Jack Ripper and cleaned house on Jan 6.

I'm other words, he should have gone all Abe Lincoln on all that Washington arse once he was convinced the election was stolen.

His biggest mistake was a peaceful transition after a stolen election. Hard to forgive.

It was either stolen or it wasn't. If it was, don't vacate the office. Don't cede the office to criminals.
