In my opinion, Trump’s presidency has been a disaster for the country and a disaster for the Republican Party. At this point, everyone should be ready to move on.
I’ll acknowledge CJR, and the courts are tangibles for many Rs, coupled w/some executive actions; however, he's not accomplished anything a traditional Republican president couldn't or wouldn't have and with less chaos.
The national debt has skyrocketed under Trump and continues to rise. The executive branch has, in my view, overstepped its intended boundaries, which sets a bad precedent. And morally, Trump has been a complete failure for a nation that desperately needs moral leadership.
I hate to wound the vanity of some (not really), but he's not spectacular, & his horrible leadership style trumps (no pun intended) the R-policies that he has backed. The reality is this; Trump is his own worst enemy, & if this trajectory persists, he’ll take the GOP down w/him.
Trump doesn't understand what it means to be a conservative; that's clear from his behavior. He disregards the contextual underpinnings that have defined and provided context for conservatism as temperament and ideology.
Again, it's bigger than policies. It’s a value system tht he doesn't have nor respect. He doesn't care about customs or habits & fails to even conceptualize the fact tht tradition does not submit to the arrogant, but that we are beneficiaries & protectors of what we've inherited.
Trump isn't cautious of power, as Burke warned. Instead, he seems yield rather recklessly. He does not care about the mysteries of governance and the complex nature by which it impacts men, which in turn shapes and modes the conservative view of the state of things.
I could go on all night, but I digress. Have a safe and fun Fourth of July 🇺🇸 weekend, everyone!
