Do you think it is good that Trump has our allies hating us and boycotting us at every turn to hurt us? And coordinating their tariffs against us. How can you think that is a smart policy, to make our allies hate us. And that hate is going to linger long after he is dead. He put a tariff on Australia, and we have a net surplus with them and they have no tariffs. He not only insulted them, he is bullying them in a protection racket. So explain to me like I was five years old, how that is good policy! Boy, you can't see the nose on your face! The world hates us, and nothing good can come out of that!

Yet, you believe Biden and Harris had these key characteristics. Bizarro world is you believing that Trump does. (I originally typed "thinking" but changed it to "believing.") No politician is strong on forthcoming. Trump is verging on moron, at least he acts like one, is perhaps the most disingenuous character that we have ever seen in high public office, and is utterly lacking in any semblance of character. You picked the wrong three characteristics if you want to prop up Trump. Try assertive, dogged, er... I ran out of ideas for character traits that could possibly be construed as positive. If it weren't so early in the morning, maybe I could come up with a couple more.
