7. I expected them Republicans to end legislative filibuster run roughshod over everything

Other than ramming their tax cut through with budget reconciliation, they shockingly were content with filling the courts and being an embarrassment. I expected far more legislative damage.

Trump himself has been about what I figured; an eyesore, an asshole, generally incompetent, but also ineffective.

Thankfully he hasn't started any wars yet. I think a lot of us were afraid he'd start world war 3 by now.

So better than I expected but just because my imagination has a nasty way of painting a very dark picture.
