Lets be honest permafrost. Please tell all of us how President Trump is hurting this country. Please don't give me the same old BS as most of the progressive's on this site. I mean real problems for all Americans, not just Democrats/liberals/progressives, not to mention all of the other people that h**e America. Admit the fact there are perverts on both sides of the coin. We can't make all people behave like sane people.

this is what I care about and why i would like to see the orange corruption controlled.
This obviously is someone else writing, but they do it better and I think you will find it more readable than what i would post myself
It is too early to conclude that Donald Trump is the worst president ever. But it’s not too early to conclude that he is the worst person ever to be president. Two stories that broke within hours of each other on Tuesday make that clear. One is about how far he will go to achieve business success, the other about how far he will go to achieve political success. In neither case will he let morality, ethics or even the law itself stand in his way.
First, the New York Times published a 14,000-word article that accused Trump of massive fraud against both the IRS and the American people. Trump’s business and political career has been built on his reputation as a self-made billionaire. It is the reason so many other developers paid him for the use of his name, why so many viewers tuned into his show “The Apprentice,” and why so many v**ers entrusted him with the presidency. It has long been known in general terms that Trump has vastly exaggerated his wealth and business acumen; in April, The Post ran an opinion article about how he inflated his net worth to land on the Forbes 400 list, and his six corporate bankruptcies testify that he is no business genius. But the Times provides hitherto unknown details that demolish wh**ever remains of his business reputation.
Trump has admitted to getting only a $1 million start-up loan from his father, Fred Trump — mere peanuts, according to trump. Turns out there were hundreds of millions of those peanuts. According to the Times, his father bankrolled him to the tune of more than $413 million and provided crucial loan guarantees to rescue him from his corporate bankruptcies. The Times article makes clear that there was only one business genius in the Trump family, and his name was Fred.
Lets now look at Trump the “president” trump and his administration have picked fights with allies, buttered up dictators, accelerated a nascent trade war, and created — purely for the sake of cruelty and cynical political leverage — a humanitarian disaster on our border with Mexico. Oh, and in his spare time, he's used his Twitter account to undermine the rule of law in hopes it will save him from prosecution.
That's a whole term of bad accomplishments for some presidents, but Trump is barely breaking a sweat.
Trump oversees a White House full of chaotic, petty backstabbing. He makes some key decisions, it appears, purely for trolling value. He changes positions so frequently that no one can rely on his word, but you weren't going to trust his word anyway since he's such a prolific liar. He tolerates obvious corruption in his Cabinet. He can't quite bring himself to condemn N**is. And what may be his greatest "success" — getting out of Congress' way to get a tax cut passed — was a handout to the rich that will be paid by the poor and middle class for years to come.
He's the worst.
It is near impossible to find any president, no matter how terrible, of whom some nice things can't be said — until we get to Trump.
This raises a question: How might Trump possibly redeem himself? A Jimmy Carter post-presidency of philanthropy seems unlikely, given that New York is suing Trump for using his charitable foundation as a piggy bank to fund his private ventures. The best that can be said of "private life" Trump is that while he's a vulgarian con man, he's at least an entertaining vulgarian con man.
I know Trump has his fans. They don't see him as needing redemption. They're glad he's appointing conservative judges. They want a harsher stance against i*****l i*********n. Some may even like his trade protectionism.
What's clear to most of us, then, is that Trump is an awful president. What's less clear? That there's anything nice you can say about him or his presidency. It's catastrophes all the way down. Trump is the worst — and it's Americans who will pay the price.
