I don't know how to pick three when virtually everything out of his mouth has been a lie. What is the most important? I'll just pick one that is probably the most important. 1) "I'm not a puppet." He IS a puppet, albeit one who is now powerless to help his puppet master - thanks to OVERWHELMING and BIPARTISAN will from Congress - they all KNOW Trump is compromised so they took his power to lift sanctions away. Russia is actively working against us all over the world including in this country. Example: as China has cut trade with NK in response to pressure, Russia has doubled it this year. The guy who verbally blasts at everyone for any little thing utters not a peep or tweet about it. 2) "I'll become Presidential" and other variants of this. He's unable and unwilling to change his nature. To take his job seriously. Unable and unwilling to care about anything other than his own ego. 3) "We'll win so much ...." He's made one likely good judicial appointment so far (half of the federal judiciary is sitting empty waiting on conservative appointments). And hired a handful of good Cabinet people - the western Republicans (Zinke, Pruitt, Perry). They persuaded him to announce his intention to pull out of the Paris Accords, though he said he intends to re-enter. That's the good so far afai am concerned. This is very little considering both houses of Congress are in his party's hands. A generational opportunity has been squandered. His best feature he shares with Obama ... he's (like Obama) a part time President, spending a few hours per day on his job. Not intelligent, not intellectually curious. Shallow. Watching all the tv talk shows, golfing at a Trump property EVERY weekend. If Obama had been more on the job and aggressive, he could have done much more damage. Ditto re Trump, we aren't in any major trade wars yet, haven't passed a trillion (!) dollar infrastructure program - a number picked to out bombast Clinton and planned as a massive looting of the nation on behalf of the building industry.
