Really? Has your life actually materially, substantively CHANGED over the last six months? Besides posting 10x more than last year, that is...
I've gone to work, collected paychecks, paid bills, walked the dog, had vacations, and pretty much done what I did last year, and the year before, and ten years ago. THE MACHINE KEEPS MOVING. My bills haven't changed, got a bit of a merit increase, a nice bonus, my vacations were fun... NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN MY LIFE.
Unless you're directly involved in the media or politics, I really don't see how your life could have changed. He hasn't DONE a ******* thing! Unless some of you Trump-bashers could elaborate on the drastic, terrible changes in YOUR LIFE, I'll presume you're just hating for hate's sake and nothing really has changed....
So you think Obama was a good president because your life didn't get substantively worse under him?
And W was a bad president because the economy crashed (thereby substantively changing just about everyone's lives) under him?
No, I'm saying the vitriolic media hatred (and message board hatred) is misplaced and out of proportion to reality.
Obama wasn't a good president. Bush wasn't a good president. Trump certainly looks like a bad president, but the media/liberal focus on EVERY TINY DETAIL about his administration (handshakes, crowd sizes, his ******* hair, even his dealings with Russia) is grossly disproportionate to what is actually (not) happening to 99.9% of Americans.
p.s. The economy crashed under Bush because the bubble burst. It would've crashed under whichever president we had at that time.
So you agree that there's more to the question of whether or not someone is a good president than, "has my life fallen apart since they took office?"
