Given the choice between Trump and Clinton, he was by far the lesser of two evils. I'm quite aware of skeletons in his closet and sometimes he does prevaricate and exaggerate. He does have a history of non-marital relationships, abuse of some women and 6 bankruptcies. His dubious past is often rubbed in my face, by friends and the news. I do have an I.Q. slightly higher than a rock. I get it.
Still, given the choice between Ms. Clinton and president Trump, I would still choose to vote for Trump. He is flawed, by he can't begin to compare with Ms. Clinton for being completely evil.
Also, he has been good for the economy and wants to secure the border. I can tell you a lot about illegal immigrants from my experiences of having worked at Bexar County Hospital for some years as a registered nurse and having been in a wreck with one (He ran into my car from behind, had no green card, no insurance and no driver's license). If I had rear-ended anyone with his non-credentials, I would have been jailed. He wasn't even given a citation. I guess this could be a topic for another discussion.
I do not worship Pres. Trump, but I'm very thankful he won the election and continue to support him through prayer, by talking to others who disagree and by not making any one else's life miserable via stupid verbal (or physical) assaults.
Those of you who hail the 'Resistance,' might take a step back and reassess where we'd be had Clinton won. Just sayin',

Nothing needed to be stretched. He rear-ended my car at a stop sign. It was kind of funny that when I got out of my car and walked back to see the damage, he immediately (in Mexican Spanish) told me he didn't speak English to try to weasel out of talking to me. La problema with that is I speak fairly bueno Espanol. It was a slow-motion impact and my car only ended up with about $1300 worth of damage.
Regarding Trump, everything you said about him in New York I've heard before (and believe). He was not my first, second or fifth choice in the field of Republicans. I gagged when I actually voted for him, or more accurately, voted against Clinton. I know a lot of people who did the same.
The good news is he has kept his word to appoint strict Constitutional judges to the bench and is trying to get the wall built. Those are two BIG pluses for me. And he didn't cave in to Kim Jung Un; he walked away. So I actually do feel a little bit better about him than originally. For these reasons, I can cut a little mercy in his direction. Hope springs eternal. I have hope.

Iliamna, you have a very good assessment of President Trump. One that is very close to my own. We have, in our family, some of the TDS affected ones. It has been very difficult to hold back in an effort to sustain peace in the family. In fact, a few weeks ago in a group e-mail, I made the mistake of mentioning that I was going to watch a recording of the SOTU address since I had missed it live. That set off a firestorm by a few because I had apparently offended them by even the mention of something that they despised. I have learned, I think, to suppress some of my political views in the interest of family unity. Libs are very difficult to deal with.

We have some friends who used to do a lot of talking about Trump, defending his positions and generally displaying their grasp of rhetorical talking points...

I've been noticing a shift, a big shift. We had a friend over for dinner this weekend, not one thing said about Trump, we did discuss healthcare and she seemed to agree that it's headed the wrong way and needs a big fix. A couple of weeks ago she was over for dinner and I asked how she felt about her president now...

She rolled her eyes and said "Oh God, what a Frigging idiot", we left the subject alone so as not to be rubbing salt in the wounds.

My neighbor, same thing, his comment was "what a frigging idiot, I just wish he would stop tweeting such idiotic things". He stopped wearing a MAGA hat a long time ago, said his wife wanted him to throw it away.

My point is that the people I know who will acknowledge Trump is an idiot will still defend certain things, they are still basically ignorant to the bone about political issues.

Another self aggrandizing lie from you. Sorry woodglue, but I don't believe you have any "friends" at all. I just can't imagine what kind of person would embrace a self centered, self righteous burro like yourself, and call you "friend".
You are not likeable, and the only useful purpose you serve is as a practice tennis ball.

I'm thankful that God gave man the ingenuity to invent the rubber band that keeps you coming back for another swat. Otherwise, you would serve no purpose on this planet.
