Did Trump do better or worse then you had hoped/feared 4 years ago ?

personally i think his performance was exactly what i anticipated

Policy wise, I think he was better than I expected in a lot of areas, others not so much.

Personality and demeanor wise, he definitely didn’t live up to the hope that he would act like a mature human being.

@MrsKatherineArch I agree. I love his views but he does act like an idiot.

That’s putting it nicely @Keepitsimple

@MrsKatherineArch 😉👍

Much better than I thought. I just voted for him cause I hated Hillary. Now I’m really sad he’s gone :(

Every time I thought he couldn't stoop any lower, he did.

Unfortunately for us and the rest of the world, he did about as good as I expected him to.

He was as bad as I expected, but the division in the nation is worse that imagined.

I knew it would be bad. It was worse than I anticipated. I remember telling someone prior to the 2016 election that Trump was the kind of person who could kill 1,000,000 people without a second thought, as long as he benefited. Little did I realize that might literally come true.

There was more death than I expected.

@Pfuzylogic Erdogan is the real powerbroker in the region who would have to do a 180 on the issue, and we know that will never happen.

@KrackerBash
Erdogan didn’t say one thing to a real President. He spoke to trump’s personal greed.

@Pfuzylogic ok

Both at once, really. He devastated environmental regulations more than I feared and weakened our international strength and standing more than I imagined. But I had also feared he would get us into a war with North Korea with his and Kim's egos colliding, but he didn't so that is much better than I feared.

I honestly thought he would have been assassinated in office
So on those grounds better
Because hes still alive

I had very low expectations. And he certainly met those and unfortunately exceeded them. Just a disaster of a Presidency.

I'm not an American however he did meet up with that North Korean Leader I feel Donald done well there that story hasn't finished yet current world Leaders need to keep talks on-going with North Korea certainly not as hopeless as it was thought to be.

One of the best skate sessions of all time.

@KrackerBash Obviously they share a liking for skating never seen that picture before their main talks were over it was time to relax and bond.

@senghenydd NK played Trump like a drum in the process of securing their nuclear deterrent. I'm not sure what you think was achieved there.

tindrummer · M

even more despicably deplorable than I expected

OggggO · 36-40, M

On one hand, I expected him to crash the economy so badly I ended up homeless, which didn't happen. On the other, I did not expect a pandemic which killed four hundred thousand Americans, which did. So, kind of hard to say.

@LvChris Yes and no. I knew my situation was relatively stable, and yet I expected him to fuck up [i]so[/i] badly that it reached even me and similarly stable people. I realize quite a large number of people are homeless because of him, but I genuinely expected far more.

I expected the worst 4 years ago, and it wasn't that bad for me personally. I expected a major world war, and big bad things like that, major cities burning down to rubble.
