Yes, he also didn't have an opposing party calling him illegitimate,and racist, misogynistic and vowing to try to fight him on everything before he has even taken office.
I think he would be more than willing to cooperate if the other side was willing to compromise.
A precedence was set by Obama when he negotiated with Anyone and everyone EXCEPT the conservatives.
Trump is a successful negotiator- he knows he has to work with them. But he isn't going to let them dictate the terms on which he will, and neither should he!
You seem smart enough to make your own decisions, just make sure they are well informed and YOURS.
He isn't reagan, and we don't need another Reagan right now, the world is different. But keep in mind, in 1980- Reagan wasn't Reagan. We see him through the eyes of a 8 yr administration that fell the russians- and 30 yrs of people trying to live up to that.
It takes a little effort and a lot of experience to react appropriately. Lol I haven't figured it out either.
Trump might be mean, and he might never change. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have good intentions or ideas, or that he can't make a good president.
Lyndon Johnson was a Raging racist. Kennedy and clinton couldn't keep their pants on, but they were still successful presidents. How successful is up for debate but you can't pin success on personality, that's silly.
