There are a lot of haters incapable of fairly evaluating the president, that’s true. However, the president and his supporters have an equally large blind spot. They believe that, since the president got elected, everything he did and is doing must make sense because he wouldn’t have won otherwise. Having success makes people think nonsensical, and so does blind hatred. The truth is somewhere in the middle…Trump’s main problems are presentation and not policy, which haters need to accept if they want to beat him. But, the biggest reason he’s president right now is because Hillary was such an awful candidate who ran a worse campaign, so doing “what got you elected” doesn’t work anymore because you can’t be not-Hillary anymore.
