It's kind of like how peoples 30 year stoner/child living in their basement still makes them "proud" and can do no wrong, lauding their intelligence and how every attribute of theirs is a positive one. "He's staying home to take care of us, blah blah blah". Everything can be made to have a positive spin, no matter how screwy.
Sure, some of his policies have been beneficial and he is undoubtedly better than Hillary. However, can we stop pretending like he's a miracle cure? There's an extreme probability that because of Trump, the dems can run LITERALLY anyone next cycle and they will get elected.
And lets stop pretending that tweets of a twelve year old child are good, in any fashion, mmkay. "It's so intelligent because it pisses liberals off". Uh, no. It's amateurish, makes us look abso-fucking-ridiculous on the international stage, and harms our credibility in more than one way. It would be one thing if he had any elegance and actually followed through with his threats. But, no, he calls out and insults random-fucking Americans just because his fragile, cluster-b ego cannot handle ANY CRITICISM, even from the lowliest of person. The world is a big place, and you can rationalize this child to yourself all you want, but no, there is zero benefit to that crap.
Now, he has his pros. But this man is no savior. I wish people would stop treating him like he's their 30yo kid living in the basement. Undoubtedly, he will get my vote next election when he runs against the transexual-half-mexican-half arabic-half asian-giant-midget-socialist-communist-woman identifying-illegal immigrant that he is opposed by; but the other guy/woman will win in the end. And the only positive rationalization I can come up with at that point is "at least the checked all the "high time" boxes in one go".
