He is a complete disaster.
Obama had a much larger percentage of people voting for him. He did not put himself on display where everyone was supposed to bow down to him. He got to work fixing the shit bu$h and co. left him.

(7,865 posts)Like a lot of fools Trump probably imagines life to be like a movie and that he should be getting the rising crescendo of this theme song played to his victories.
