I do wonder how the cultists on this forum and in the media will treat the Trump presidency a few years after he's gone. Will they start to accept reality, or will they try to create alternative historical narratives for every issue? Will Goom be repeating the same corrupt Ukrainian propaganda 5 years from now? Who knows. I'm still amazed that Trump as a figure creates such extreme psychological reactions.
Nevertheless, he deserved to be impeached. If the Republican party ever becomes credible again, it will acknowledge this fact. And most if not all of the Trump supporters here would support removing Hillary under the same circumstances.
Donald Trump won the election against all odds, the economy boomed, he passed a surprising amount of his legislative agenda like tax cuts and trade deals and rammed even more executive actions like the wall and deregulation through, cranked out judges like there's no tomorrow and actually delivered on the kinds of difficult promises politicians routinely renege on. He took the republican party and somehow bent it into supporting progressive policies it had long opposed like criminal justice reform and paid family leave. He navigated some treacherous foreign policy with bold moves that his critics in the media routinely screeched would get us all killed, but instead it seems to shake out in Trump's favor every time, and he's on track for the best domestic
and foreign policy track record of any modern president, he's still two 'failed-to-stop-genocides' ahead of Clinton. His opponents routinely walked into unforced errors and self-destruction and fail to stick any of the knives they throw at him.
What's the reality to accept? You thought he was going to lose the election, can't fault you for that, but it seems like everything
after that has been you having about the same reaction as Paul Krugman on election night claiming the dow was about to implode and never recover for 4 years. Mueller and Russialago? Thrown into the memory hole now. North Korea, Syria, Trade Wars, Trump Tower, Cohen, Stormy Daniels, womp womp. Its been 'walls closing in' 'tick tock' 'bombshell evidence' '-gate', all the predictions of Trump's imminent collapse that have fizzled out a dozen times now. And you kept throwing your chips on red and coming up black. And you think the people who were skeptical were having the psychological reactions? Psychologist, heal thyself
