The search for Osama bin Laden was stretched over two presidencies. In a background briefing for reporters in 2005 officials said that the identity was determined of the courier who ultimately led to bin Laden. That would place a key moment in the search back in the Bush administration. If you're going to award credit to someone it should go to the Navy Seals who planned out, coordinated & executed the mission, not the sitting POTUS who gave the 'go ahead'. Here is how former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld put it
I'm fucking dying here. This is hysterical.

His wife not being able to express why her husband should be president is a major red flag guys.

It was a dead giveaway that Melania's speech didn't contain a single anecdote that humanized Trump. It's very telling, as telling as the fact that he doesn't have business associates from this long and storied career coming forward to sing his praises. Tom Barrack talked about the Plaza Deal last night as if it's an example of Trump's amazing business acumen. Trump bought it for $407 million, more than it was worth at the time by 25%, sunk $50 million into renovations (he even forewent due diligence and just accepted a list from Barrack of things that needed fixing because he was so desperate to get the property), and then when he was going through bankruptcy he sold it at a huge loss for $325 million. This is the great deal-maker and negotiator they're telling us so much about.
I thought his youngest daughter was fantastic at the RNC, and was actually annoyed that so much attention went to his scumbag sons, but it's very telling that no one other than her can legitimately humanize him in any way.
