Trump on his presidency: 'I would give myself an A+'
By Max Greenwood - 04/26/18 09:03 AM EDT

President Trump is giving his work in the White House high marks.

Asked during an interview on "Fox & Friends" Thursday what grade he would his presidency, Trump launched into a tirade against the special counsel investigation into possible collusion between his campaign and Russia, before eventually replying: "I would give myself an A+."

"Nobody has done what I’ve been able to do," he said. "And I did it despite the fact that I have a phony cloud over my head that doesn’t exist."

If it's a "phony cloud that doesn't exist", then it must be a real cloud hanging over his head (double negative along the lines of "I couldn't care less").

This is true: "Nobody has done what I’ve been able to do," he said. 
For once he has told the truth.  Nobody HAS created this much chaos.  He is the master of chaos.

A+?  No “repeal and replace”.  No Mexico paying for the wall.  No “lock her up”.   No Constitutional Amendment for term limits.  No putting us on a path to eliminate our debt within eight years, but we did get the Omnibus Spending Bill.

   Probably the first time he's ever got an A+ in his life and he had to give it to himself in front of three bobblehead dolls on Fox & Friends.  I'm certainly convinced.../s

I gave him an A+ for the way he absconded with the tuition paid by the students at Trump University.

Ehh....I'd give him an "A" (I don't do plusses) on the economy and on military funding and rebuilding.  All the rest, including the failures to follow through on certain promises, a C (would normally be a D or an F... but since it ain't over yet....).

Sometimes Trump would do himself a huge favor by shutting up, but I would say that Trump has responded to chaos as much as he's created it.

There are some good things happening with the ICE border and inland enforcement policies as well, in spite of the Wall deadlock.

What other than an A+ would a narcissist give himself?  At best I think he deserves a B-.  He has FAILED on keeping several of his campaign promises.  He has FAILED to drain the swamp and as long as Sessions, Rosenstein and Mueller are in play, he never will.  He has FAILED to unite the country as he said he would.  However, his first term as president isn't over and I will re-evaluate and judge him then.

He is living up to my expectations C- at best.  Considering that everything he campaigned on is still not done.  I would have given him a D but people would say I was picking on him.  And BTW how is that Embassy going in Jerusalem?

Anybody watch the whole interview?  When questioned about Cohen:

Quote
Let me just tell you that Michael is in business.  He is really a businessman, fairly big business as I understand it.  I don't know his business, but this does not have to do with me.  Michael is a businessman.  He's got a business.  He also practices law.  I would say probably the big thing is his business, and they are looking into something having to do with his business.  I have nothing to do with his business, I can tell you, which would have been a problem, because he's got other things.  He's got businesses, and from what I understand they're looking at his businesses, and I hope he is great shape.  But he's got businesses, and his lawyers probably told him to do that, but I'm not involved, and I've been told I'm not involved.  That just came out of the newspapers: I've been told I'm not involved.

Yeah.  So basically this is the Republican version of the empty claim that their Chosen Vessel is "The smartest (wo)man alive", yet when reading what spews out of their mouth - you scratch your head and wonder if they ever actually graduated middle school, despite the millions they made in Cattle Futures trading, Real Estate, University and Steak deals.

I never ever said he wasn't going to win. I just said he wasn't...and still isn't the best candidate we could have fielded.

You thinking he's done an A+ job just shows your clut like live of Trump and no real intellectual though into what he's really done or what he really stand for.

Just blind populist fealty.
