This is the most asinine opinion ever. You are like a dog with a bone on this subject. You've suddenly turned into Yoda, though less cute about it.
"Do or not do. There is no try. Yoda"
In the real world, there is try or not try. Don't let fear of failure keep you from trying.
The biggest falsehood is trying to get all 'fair' and try to convince us you will celebrate Trump's success. You never will.
@Emjay Of course, there's "try" in the real world. It's just that I've found the higher you get in the organization, the less you get rewarded for it until finally you reach the level of leadership where "trying" just isn't good enough: only results are expected and rewarded. Certainly the President of the United States is at that level......at least IMO. Certainly "real leadership" at senior-levels isn't about trying as asserted in piece from the OP. JMO.
Relative to celebrating Trump's success. I'm afraid you're wrong. I already have recognized and celebrated it on a variety of subjects. A few examples from the TBR are identified below:
Well, I’m certainly not in this contingent you refer to. When the President does something I find praise-worthy, I praise him. Gorsuch appears to be a great pick (but it’s still early). I love what the President is doing on regulations. The hurricane responses have been right on target with direct leadership from him and his cabinet. He seems to be serious about fixing the VA. That’s long overdue. That’s certainly not “unceasingly criticalâ€.

I criticize Trump when I think he deserves criticizing and praise him when I think he deserves praise. His remarks this morning were spot on IMO: prayer and support for the victims and their family, support for law enforcement, calls for unity, flags at half-staff, and plans to travel to Las Vegas on Wednesday. Good job Mr. President.
I think Trump deserves all the credit in the world for freeing up our military to truly go after ISIS. I think he's proven what many of us suspected: that the Rules of Engagement placed upon our military under Obama was too stringent and too restrictive for them to truly to successful. Good for him!
On Trump returning North Korea to the list of State Sponsors of Terror:
Good decision by the President. As he said: "This designation will impose further sanctions and penalties on North Korea ... and supports our maximum pressure campaign to isolate the murderous regime.â€
Again on the battle against ISIS noting winning the battle is a “big dealâ€:
I may be perceived as one of those, and although I’ve praised him previously about the way he has leveraged the military in it’s attack against ISIS, this is indeed a big deal, and I’ll quote myself to give additional credit to the President:
I think Trump deserves all the credit in the world for freeing up our military to truly go after ISIS.

Clear enough? @skeeter
His visit to wounded troops at Walter Reed right before Christmas:
In a blatant attempt at getting this thread back on topic, I'm sure this cheered up most (if not all) of the troops over at Walter Reed. Good job by the President and good job by VP Pence to visit the troops in Afghanistan.
The run-up of the stock market:
Regulations: I think Trump deserves a huge amount of credit for cutting regulations, and I believe (but can’t prove) that this and the anticipation of corporate tax cuts have been a huge contributing factor for the run-up of the stock market in his first year.
Campaign strategy in 2016:
<snip>
I believe the President ran a brilliant election campaign and tapped into a level of dissatisfaction not fully realized by most others............

On the economy:
It’s quite clear to me that the combination of reduced regulations and the promise of tax cuts (particularly business tax cuts) really jump-started the stock market last year. I think the Trump Administration clearly deserves the credit for that run-up as well as the increase in consumer and business confidence. JMO.
On his jokes at the Gridiron Club:
Looks like the President did a great job last night including even some self-deprecating humor!
