By taking oversight responsibilities away from Congress, he’s freed them up to concentrate on serving their constituents, which is what they’ve always longed to do.

Designated Mexican cartels terror organizations, which they undoubtedly are. At least Trump has the intention to destroy these scum - his predecessors did squat when innocents were getting chopped up. Power to Trump just for this one act alone.

He stopped European freeloading on the US.

Put Zelenskyy in his place - the man who thought he could get hundreds of billions in weapons from the US - indefinitely - to lob at the Russians.

Has a stringent, no-bullshit policy on Iran.

Finally, an endless source of entertainment.

They say you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead so until then I have nothing good to say about him.

You mean the Russians, the only credible threat to our own security, who invaded his country unprovoked because of Putin’s imperial aspirations, and who wanted to get in there before they had a chance to join NATO? Those Russians? Zelensky has been a stalwart leader in the face of his country’s greatest challenge. Trump was not putting anyone “in their place,” his petty little ego was acting out a personal vendetta.

I actually have to agree with that, given his age and fitness level. Which in this case is a negative.

My only compliment there is that he’s most likely the genetic father, despite his uh… _shortcomings_

Trump having intentions is his version of doing squat. Trump calling the cartels terrorist organizations is just more typical Trump bullshit. It’s Trump talking rather than doing. Trump is infamous for always talking about all of the great things he’s going to do - and then never getting around to doing them. He’s still saying he’s going to do some of the things he promised to do back in 2016.

For this relief, much thanks. Perhaps.
