Those of you who supported trump, and now don't, please chime in...

Let's not make this an average, overly salty political post. Just talk about why we maybe don't support the trump presidency as much as before. I for one voted for him more or less because I simply wanted to vote, and liked the fact that trump seemed anti establishment. I mean, he really pissed the old party hacks off big time. However, I've come to feel that his rhetoric and constant Twitter rants are un presidential and over the top. And his whole narrative of "make america great again" has devolved imto dismantling what Obama did, cuz, you know, Mr O was bad. Trump is in a position to enact positive, beneficial change of his own, instead he chooses to dwell on the acts of his predecessor. At least, that's my perception of what is going on. That and he seems determined to start WWIII. What are your thoughts on the matter? What has made you less enthusiastic about Big Orange?

    Trump won the election by polarizing the nation, so is it not a surprise that we're as divided as we were during the Civil War era? Plus, Hillary wasn't exactly getting good press at the time and Trump represented a change in pace from the career politicians that usually inhabit the White House. (not sure that big business is any better but whatever) However, it's not like most of this wasn't available info at the beginning. No, we couldn't have foreseen Trump doing everything possible to escalate tensions with NK, but pretty much everything else was to be expected. He's a loose cannon -- he gave plenty of indication of that before assuming the presidency. He's a loud-mouthed bigot -- once again, not something he wasn't showing before. His failure in diplomatic affairs correspond well to his pre-presidency campaign behavior. Shouldn't surprise you that the United States was one of the only nations to vote against the death penalty for homosexuality, or that Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement for no reason. Shouldn't be a surprise that Trump is reversing all Obama-era policies for no other reason than the fact that they have lib cooties on them. I mean, hell, Caitlyn Jenner got swooned by this guy and is watching the man she voted in steadily working to take away her human rights. Here's hoping that America isn't stupid enough to make the same mistake twice. I'd hope for him to get impeached when the Democrats likely take over congress in the midterms (ah, I love partisanship), but I absolutely don't want Mike Pence to take control. How screwed we are.
