In so many words, "He's different." He acts like an asshole sometimes, for sure. But the reality is he is a human in a sea of politicians. And it works for him. It doesn't seem to adversely affect his ability to get things done. So, I am okay with it. Was put off at first, but I don't know, maybe one of the problems today is that politicians only say what they think in private. Trump just blurts it out, which does leave him in embarrassing situations, but he can't then be held hostage. Democrats are certain they're going to kick him out of office but I don't think that's in the cards. So, it'll come down to whether getting good things done is more important than speaking nicely all the time. I do think it will have a long term effect on political discourse and while it may not look and feel good, perhaps it will be effective. >> Like the whole Carrier Strike Force heading to North Korea when it wasn't. I don't really know what went on there, but it seems minor to me.
