You mean the rape and sexual assault of minors (I can't get on board with the murder narrative, but it could be true...who knows?) is a bad thing? Weird...
Seriously, I love a lot of what he's done but not how he's done it. I guess to some that makes me a RINO or have TDS to criticize the man, but whatever. I get real uneasy when we start putting anyone on a pedestal or subscribe to a cult of personality and the far extremes of our political system have done that, consciously or not.
I'd add the government cuts and not just because I'm Gov. I think it was necessary but handled poorly. The DOGE staff...Jesus, what a dumpster fire. Just so poorly handled. Nuking USAID was the high water mark. It is quite obvious most of the cuts were just cutting to cut, not targeted pruning. No off ramp for most positions, a lot of institutional knowledge was lost. Before anyone says "deep state or "cry harder" or agrees...we lost technical knowledge in those fields, people gaming the system will always remain. Broad cuts meant years of expertise were gone overnight.
I don't expect most of this board to agree with my take above, or maybe this post, but every one of us can do the right thing in the wrong manner. Are you still a good person? Do you still have good ideas? Are you still a positive example? Yes, of course. You can still be a good member of your family or friend and fall short in many areas of your life, that doesn't make you a turd or immune to criticism. We are all flawed and no one, I do mean no one, is perfect.
So why are so many people out there buying into the nonsense that Trump or Obama or whoever do not warrant criticism and their politics are flawless?
