OK cool, but he just fired his DHS secretary. I think this term has been a debacle.

Yet keeping her on the payroll. Not really a firing to me.

Call it what you want, she was removed and there are a few others who should be DX'd.

IDK, DOGE saved a couple hundred BILLION and now the FBI is going after actual fraud and cartels rather than Jan 6'ers. We had whistleblowers in the past adim claiming they were moved from legit investigations to go after Jan. 6'ers and now the other side is bitching about immigration.
As far as the economy, the only way forward for any real increase in jobs other than "service" jobs is some type of tariff. We need to start producing, I don't care how. As MUCH as we possibly can, because eventually there will be a WW3 or a China and we will fall not being able to make engine parts and electronics at a large scale.
Beef and some foods are high along with gas, but overall inflation has slowed. They pumped billions of funny money into the economy during COVID and we're still dealing with that.
MSN will still never give him credit for that.

I give him credit, he is doing SOME good things. Also, the anti Trump media and the Dems have successfully spun the Minnesota debacle into something it is not. I'm quite confident we would not be better off with Ms. Kackles. My biggest beef is the economy still sucks and his handling of the Epstein case. I'm mostly pissed that he's unabashedly covering for his rich buddies after talking big shit to get elected.

I don't want a willing judiciary. I want impartial checks and balances. I want law, not lawfare. I want the government to function as intended by the Constitution and Founding Fathers' vision instead of what it has become.

I give him a pass over the foreign policy stuff, like ending the war in Ukraine and the promise of no new Wars (even though that's not a thing). The other guy gets a vote.

I'll admit - I do prefer "Flawless Victory" over drag queen story hour for children, mystery 8-balls showing up in the White House with no idea how it got there, or bare-chested-man-titties being officially celebrated on the White House Lawn. People seemed to be ok with all of THOSE shenanigans when it was going on.
I can't say that "I'm lovin it" but I absolutely prefer it - especially given all of the available options.
Overall, it seems to me that "tolerance" in politics is a lot like having a favorite soft drink.
Grape Kool-Aid isn't "bad" at all; some people LOVE their Kool Aid - I just prefer Pepsi. In fact, I prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi - but they don't serve Coke at Taco Bell
What I'm trying to say is yes, I'm cool with it.

Wow. Minus Hegseth's cringe moment that was excellent. If we aren't going to have "presidential" (which admittedly seems to have numerous versions and opinions these days) then the nerd in me approves.
C'mon, Kylo Ren screaming "MORE" a la the meme followed by the sub video? That was beautiful. Kudos to whoever made that supercut.
No I don't like that video, but yeah I approve. x10
We as a nation tend to focus on delivery more than results. I don't like the bravado, but I like the direction the bravado is taking us. We need to win. And yeah, drag queen story time and all that, if Harris was Pres we wouldn't even be noticing stuff like that anymore it would be so commonplace.

He's aiming the message to a specific demographic; so yeah, I'm OK with it.
Other than your intense dislike of the president and his cabinet... what's the problem? That seemed pretty vanilla for wartime propaganda.

I prefer quiet professionalism, but since the Dems always want to start it with the president, I dont have a problem with Trump's trolling. He's actually quite good at it.

Exactly this. The public and professional smear campaigns have polarized me. So to answer your question @Ooh-Rah , YES.
