I dont care that Trump is a complete Pig.

I really don't. Nor do I care that he is a total horror of a human being, uncivilized, ill mannered, barely literate, liable to tantrums. None of that.
Nor do I care that he surrounds himself with sycophants, second rate at best and unable to tell the truth or even make up a cogent lie. I don't care that he is a liar, a fraudster, a cheat and a serial adulterer. Nor do I care that he is a moral and physical coward for dodging the draft with phony bone spurs or getting others to do his dirty work over and over. I don't even care that he blatantly pushes an agenda to make the rich richer while the people he wooed get nothing. That is their own stupid fault for believing the Myth of America.
I simply wish he would be a sensible president and have a single direction to point in. to give those who voted for him and those who are watching a great nation twitch and spasm this way and that like an epileptic having a seizure, some sense of where the nation is headed.. It was funny at first. Then it was sad. Now it is tragic.

But I believe it's because of these deficiencies you've listed that the possibility of being a sensible, principled president is impossible.

I am simply separating the character of the man from his ability to do the job.. It would be nice if he were George Clooney.. But its a disaster that he cant run a cake stall, let alone a country.@Graylight

@whowasthatmaskedman But doesn't ones character, at the very least, contribute to ones ability?

His character is completely negative, ergo, his abilities will be equally negative.

I admit its a great indicator that he is highly likely to fail. Particularly as he needs the personal good will of the nation behind him in most things. But history is dotted with flawed people who excelled in a one field and their flaws just didn't count at the time.@room101

Not impossible in my opinion, if he provided clear purpose and leadership. Generals like Patton were not diplomats, good listeners or tolerant. But they knew what they needed to do, how to get it done and inspired followers with that.@Graylight

@whowasthatmaskedman But what field does trump excel in? Whipping up a crowd? And generals, by definition, are not meant to be diplomats. They are meant to get things done, be leaders and, inspire followers. We need a whole lot more from our politicians.

On that point we absolutely agree. My original statement was not to judge Trump as a bad president because he is an appalling human being. I personally believe there is more than enough evidence of his shortcomings based purely on his Presidential performance.@room101
