The Trump cultist gimmick is so fucking sad. I'd argue it's more sad to ignore all the accomplishments of a president because he's on the wrong political side. Like you and TC did with Obama? Obama didn't accomplish anything. So you're a hypocritical hack. That isn't to say that he didn't do things, it's just that the things he legislated on were negative to the country, allowed ISIS to thrive, and took race relations back about 40 years. So I wouldn't call any of it accomplishments. He bombed the fuck out of ISIS, dunce.
