My friend is really nice too.

What's his take on the "very stable genius"?

I was no fan before he became president. I was actually temp banned twice for slamming him. Once during the primaries and once during the general. When he won I told my wife, "well, the good news is that Hillary lost. The bad news is that Trump won."
But then he started doing stuff. I became such a fan that as time has passed he's become, IMO, the best and most effective president in my 66 years. I'll be voting FOR him in 2020. The only other time I voted for, rather than against a candidate was 1980.
Oh, and as with all politicians, I ignore what he says. Talk is cheap. Action is what I focus on. I very much love what he actually does. And it is not lost on me that when some low level federal judge tries to stop his action, upper courts or the SCOTUS usually end up spanking the partisan nincompoop that tried to stop him.
Kinda like what is happening with Judge Sullivan right now.

So, what has he done that has your approval?

The very first thing was really symbolic: Other presidents said they would do it, were looking into it, etc., but never did it. He did it without fanfare and like a boss. He moved the Embassy to Jerusalem.
I was a one issue voter in 2016. I simply wanted the (IMO) unconstitutional obamacare mandate eliminated. Trump got it done. I wanted to get out of all those little wars in Asia and the Mideast. I like what he's done there. Shrinking government, reducing the EPA's power, preventing Global Warming nonsense from becoming the law of the land, and other such stuff are another example.
I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that I "feel" we have the first "get america back to the constitution of 50 countries under the umbrella of a very limited federation" president in my lifetime. I like the personal freedom it brings.That is supposed to be what makes america great.

It's no surprise that they all "tighten up" towards election day, as if a bunch of voters change their mind in the last days.
Anyway, this one poll was decreasing Hillary's lead every day until, the day before the election, showed Trump ahead. But then a crazy thing happened. An hour later it showed Hillary ahead, barely. They had actuallly changed their poll results for that day. If only they hadn't, they would have been the one that got it right.

Yawn, I'm sure there's a point in there somewhere, Biff. Try harder.
