For two years, NeverTrump has united with the Left to sabotage Trump’s presidency, smear congressional Republicans who support him, and ridicule Trump voters. Led by Bill Kristol, the editor-at-large-and-getting-larger of the Weekly Standard, this group is as culpable as the news media and Democratic politicians for the smoldering hellscape that now is American politics.

I have zero respect for Never Trumpers. Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg, Erick Erickson and all the rest of the "conservative media" who oppose Trump are Democrat appeasers and complicit in the socialist progressives' campaign to destroy the President.

His trade deals have been needed for years, and will pay dividends. I worry that despite that, larger forces at work in the economy will trigger a large correction soon and that Trump's reliance upon the stock market for validation will cause that event to drown him and possibly the Republican congressional majority with it.

I don't know that I'd call the man "despicable". He hasn't fed anyone into a wood chipper or gassed a whole race of people, as far as I know. I would say that he is a bit of a jerk and is definitely rude and obnoxious. He also has a remarkably thin skin for someone who has been in the public eye most of his life.

I also think he is doing a good job by any honest measurement in all of the key areas that I care about for a President (economy, national security, etc). Then again, I am a devotee of Locke when it comes to the role of government. His one notable failure, IMHO, has been to cave to pressure in restricting our RKBA, specifically when it comes to so called "bump stock machine guns".

I can separate whether someone is a nice person from whether they are good at their job. And since I'm not planning to have the President of the US babysit my kids anytime soon, I really don't need them to be a nice person. Just get government out of the way of the economy and my personal life, and keep us from being defeated by our enemies, please. Do those two things, and I'll be just fine with a complete jerk as our President.

That being said, I think he is exactly what we need, to defeat, or at least slow down, the downward spiral, the left, the spineless RINOS, the MSM, and our bastions of higher education, have been rapidly racing towards. Trump is not a politician, but politicians, are what got us to where we are now. The general populace, has allowed, our, Republic, to disentigrate, into, a special interest ATM. With no user fees, and no limit, on withdrawals. We have allowed ourselves, to be told how to vote, by the MSM, and told that we were (insert durogatory insult here) if we dared, to express a differing opinion. Will the current economic boom last? History tells us no. Will we be able to reverse the slowly boiling pot of water, we find ourselves? I don't know. But, right here, right now, we have the opportunity, to say to those, who want to shame us into submission, ( forum rules prohibit the true response) JMHO

"The GOP tax bill's bringing out my inner socialist. The sex scandals are bringing out my inner feminist. Donald Trump and Roy Moore are bringing out my inner liberal," Kristol tweeted, adding, "WHAT IS HAPPENING?"
