Trump: Master Campaigner and Complete Presidential Fuckup

Trump did an amazing job campaigning. Most of us laughed, along with most Republicans, early in the primaries. But over the months leading up to November Trump learned how to do two things...appeal to the white lower working class and the deplorables. Couple that with just enough fence sitters, Hillary haters, and Comey's email bombshell in late October and voila. (oh yeah and the Russian bots, fake news, etc also played a role.)

But since he was elected and especially since January 20th he has been a colossal fuck up. (Excuse my language but I feel pretty strong about this.) He can't control his messaging, his erratic tweets, his disregard to learn how government works, his flip-flopping on nearly every campaign issue, his disdain for restraint, his temper, his ego. The man must go and soon.

Donald Trump was just as bad as a campaigner as he is as President. The only thing that helped him is that many in the media did not give him a hard time for his foolishness. He was completely incompetent as a businessman, as a presidential candidate, and now as a president. This result was not hard to see for any clear headed person who watched Trump before and during the presidential campaign. Michael Bloomberg and others said that if Trump ran America like he ran his companies America would be in trouble. America is in trouble. I feel the same way about Trump that Molly Ivins felt about George W. Bush. I did not live in the same state with Trump, but I read a book about him and knew about his poor business dealings so his poor performance as President does not shock me. I believe Molly Ivins said GWB was just running America like he ran Texas. Donald Trump is just running America like he ran is companies.
