-Given money to Saudi Arabia.

-Given money to Qatar.

-Generally appears to be wholly incompetent at handling his cabinet and controversies surrounding it.

-Appeasing to Duterte.

-Ratcheting up tensions with Russia & Syria.

-His healthcare plan is a garbage trash mess.

-His travel ban is ineffective and pointless as it doesn't include numerous countries that should logically be included if we're going to institute a travel ban. It's essentially following the Obama strategy but a little ticked up, and it's established that Obama's foreign policy sucked.

-His actions towards undermining efforts to fight climate change.

-His shitty border plan.

-Appointing a staunch-anti Marijuana, pro-private prison Attorney General.

-His existence as a dangerous oligarch puppet to his banker and oil baron masters.

honestly it's amazing what a fucking disaster this clown is less than half a year in, honestly could be a bottom 5 president if we keep going at this rate by the end of his first term tbh

So what I'm getting from this topic is no one can actually think of anything. Surprising.

lied about having tapes of their conversations "to rattle" a person giving legal testimony to congress about their conversations

Your "giant post" was a mish mash of opinions, unsubstantiated claims, and things that aren't objectively bad in the first place. You failed to list even one actual tangible "bad" thing.

yeah none of its bad because its from trump

boy if that list was from obama though it would be really really bad

Go on and swing. I'm willing to back up every position on that list. Apply a criticism instead of being vague.

I really would love to know why giving money to Saudi Arabia is a good thing. That's a defense I've never heard. Most Trump supporters chalk that one up to 4D Chess.

This is what going full Trumpanzee looks like. Sad!

I'll add in that his tax plan will largely benefit the wealthy (Which of course includes himself) while most of his fanbase will see little benefit or even higher costs which is the direct opposite of what he claims. It'll also fuck over the national deficit so there's that too

- Constant lying from both him and his staff about information that anyone can easily verify

- Still hasn't released his tax returns when every other president since 1976 has

- Hires the most incompetent people to head important cabinet positions, some who were even openly antagonistic towards the departments they now head

- Still hasn't hired staff members for many positions in his administration, in a lot of crucial foreign areas too

- Blatant nepotism in having his daughter and son-in-law as unofficial cabinet members

- A Muslim ban that experts agree would largely do more harm than good

- Actually called the Muslim ban a "Muslim ban"

- Is doing largely nothing about Russia, despite all of our intelligence agencies and foreign allies saying that they interfered in Western elections to various extents

- Pulling out of the Paris Agreement

- Starting shit with the mayor of London after their terror attacks

- His promise to bring back coal-mining jobs, even though it's beneficial to practically nobody, not even the coal industry

- Firing James Comey for doing his job

- Firing Sally Yates for doing her job

- Giving InfoWars, a known conspiracy theorist-peddling site, White House press credentials

- And, of course, wealthcare

EDIT: Shit, I forgot to mention the executive orders he's enacting to overturn important rules and regulations

It's an unsubstantiated claim for one thing, unlike the Clintons who actually have records of doing this in their foundation. But most of your items have nothing to say about them. They're just so baseless and "blah" that they can just as easily be refuted by saying "nuh uh." The only thing that even resembles a valid point is the travel ban, which is mostly just asinine rather than harmful.

I just want to point out that Clinton is not president atm and is irrelevant to a conversation about the things Trump is doing during his presidency.

I'm sorry, publicly announced multi-billion dollar arms deals are unsubstantiated?

So what you're saying is that you don't have the ability to refute what I'm saying, so you're going to dismiss everything because you're not smart enough to do the research and have a debate. Alright, that's fine.

Lied about saying he'd put Hillery in prison.

Drove a golfcart on a green. (he should be impeached for this level of douche baggery)

Obstructed justice.

Appointed Mike Flynn.

Denied Russian involvement in the election.

Lied about how many people attended his inauguration.

Lied about having tapes of a conversation.

Sold a bunch of military jets to a country immediately after saying the country was shit.

Pulled out of the Paris Accord.

Told federal employees they couldn't tweet about climate change.

New policy that requires all scientific studies to be reviewed by political staff.

Appointed a racist backwards idiot as the AG.

Failed to get a health care bill passed.

After promising to drain the swamp he has filled his administration with lobbyists and corporate stooges.

Pushed a travel ban that court after court has found to be discriminatory.

Has continued to benefit from foreign payments to his business interests.

Has not appointed a large number of positions.

Oh no please, continue posting vague and subjective pseudo arguments like "his shitty border plan" or "his healthcare plan is a garbage trash mess" and pretending Obamacare doesn't already exist.

Those were definitely some of the most vague portions of my post, but you could easily provide your reasonings as to why his current healthcare plan is better than the ACA or why his border plan isn't terrible.

My opinions on his border policy are in this topic in pretty expansive detail;

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/400-current-events/75491434

And while I do oppose the wall for reasons of practicality, I have no issue with strengthening sovereignty. Trump's plan, however, is very poor for reasons I express in that topic.

See, these are actual actions that at least can be discussed in some capacity, except you did not describe how the vast majority of these are "bad" in any way or have affected anything other than Trump himself or his character. Example, pulling out the Paris agreement. So fucking what? It was an expensive, shitty agreement that disproportionately bound the U.S. to the bulk of the obligations while other countries didn't have to. And the end result wasn't even going to make a hair of progress in lowering the global temperature at the end of the century. And at the end of the day, there is absolutely nothing holding the United States back from fulfilling its goals regardless. Many cities are already pledging to do so, and technological innovation will most certainly be the thing that saves us, if anything.

That's such a shallow way of looking at something like that. Hooray.
Oh I'm trying to pick a fight with a guy whose username is "Annihilated", of course you can't expect something beyond low level trolling from that.

Ha! I knew it! Not only do none of you have a counter for the one point I actually brought up, but no one has still bothered to explain the harm in anything Trump has done. And after I set the bar so low for you clowns, you limbo right under it. What a waste of my time this was.

Been President

to add to what others have said, pretty much everything he has done with regards to the media but most recently
- banned cameras at press conferences

A lot of that has been 'committed' by previous presidents; including Obama. If it is so bad that Trump does it; why is it other presidents can do such acts without such hate?

I literally called Obama's foreign policy bad in my post. But this is about Trump, not deflecting to other presidents.

First of all, I am neither Democrat or Republican.

Secondly, I am not American. :P

That said, I criticize all leaders who do stupid stuff; including Trump AND Obama. Both did a bunch of stupid stuff.

They got plenty of hate. Obama specifically got a ton of hate from the guy currently doing the things he hated on.
