What do you see as Trump's redeeming qualities?
I'm hard pressed to think of any. But I'm tired...
For me, once a person has proven themselves a blatant liar and who's loyalties turn on a dime their foundation as a person is destroyed. That doesn't mean they are without hope, but hope for them only begins when they recognize they have a problem and they set course to do something about it. Trump is totally absent of that.
As I've stated before, Trump is rude, crude and boorish. He also says what's on his mind and doesn't leave you wondering. His knowledge of conservatism is limited, but he does seem to be learning. He has made more of an attempt to honor his campaign promises that most "honest" politicians (I know, cognitive dissonance) would ever even consider. He is very pro-American and most of his moves seem designed to protect American interests, even if you or I consider them the wrong move, at least he does something. That is very un-Paul-Ryanish or Mitch-McConnellish. As I've also stated before, I think he's the right man for the times - rude, crude and boorish times. Would I want to have a beer with him, have him babysit my children, etc? No, but I don't have to like him personally.
And, I'll give you he is a very different sort than you or I. Those "New York values". Handshakes don't do it in NYC, I'm guessing. You must get farther with a shark reputation than a that of being an upstanding person.
And, I'm really, really tired of hearing about his past indiscretions. Yeah, he did some bad stuff, and, again, I wouldn't trust him to be my babysitter or money manager. Luckily, that's not on the table.
Having put this in writing, I guess what bugs me most about this interminable argument is that NTs are mostly concerned with his past, and unwilling to see any good actions, just like the reverse: the ETs who could never ever admit that he could do any wrong.
