What I can’t fathom is people who think that Trump is doing a good job. He’s got majority in both chambers and a conservative-leaning court and what has he actually done? About the only thing I can give him any credit is the tax cut but even that was mostly GOP leaders like Ryan.

Meh, I voted for Cruz in the primary. I would have preferred him to Trump, but overall I’d say that President Trump “is doing a good job.”
