Maybe because the Trump administration's performance thus far is like a clown-car routine? Maybe the reviews are negative because Trumps' performance is negative?

Even the CATO institute, not a hot-bed of liberalism, has called the beginnings of this new administration 'amateur hour'.

At some point, you're going to have to get over it.

Trump got elected - no one disputes that.

And he's doing a crappy job so far.

That's my point, you probably only see negative negative negative and therefore believe his administration is a trainwreck when it's actually not.

Liberals live in a bubble filled with only homogeneous thought. As soon as someone like Trump comes along that is unlike any President in history, an atypical personality, you guys go nuts because you can't wrap your brains around it. Trump has accomplished a few things doing it his way. How about we give him a chance?

Many liberals think they are moderate or centrist because they are surrounded by other liberals in their own version of reality.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Nothing Trump has 'accomplished' is real unless it goes through the legislative process.

Republicans complained endlessly about Obama's misuse of EO's.

Now, Trump has conducted all business basically through EO's, so far.

Explain to me what Trump has accomplished?

And, to be clear, I wish mad success for America, but Trump (so far) doesn't impress me.

YMMV.

It's real for at least 4 years !! Maybe people will grow to like something he puts in and it will get passed easily later in congress.

Keep up that hope for change. Your boy Trump isn't accomplishing much of anything, except for giving Wall Street and Big Business everything they want. Most Americans despise him, think he's doing a terrible job so far, and the rest of the world is either angry with us or laughing at us for electing such an abject maroon. Probably both, and he won't last 4 years.

Yet according to FOX and the rest of the Right, he's got 100% support.

"Most Americans despise him", LOL.

Believe whatever you want, he just just won the Presidency. I doubt people head to the polls to vote for someone they despise.

I always hear the "I didn't vote for Trump, I voted against Hillary" line. Trump has historically low approval numbers, no matter what the usual suspects on here are saying.
And a lot of people gave the "I didn't vote for Hillary, I voted against Trump" line. Both groups are morons if you ask me.
TTKU.

Doesn't change my statement.

"Most" Americans can't agree on anything. Being a polorized country means nobody can run for president and get more than 55% of the votes no matter how likeable you are.

Most Americans didn't vote for Hillary either. Nobody got the majority vote of most Americans.

notice how American pundits casually ascribe a higher moral order to "domestic" lives than the 100,000s of foreign ones extinguished by US.
