When Trump met with the leader of North Korea Trump fans were going crazy saying "See, we told you" and then nothing happened. Trump put the leader of North Korea on the world stage, made him feel like a king for a day, and in return got nothing. Trump fans still told us how this was a huge accomplishment. The second meeting ended in complete failure and the Trump White House has failed to explain what happened. Of course they haven't explained it; They lie so damn much that they don't hold press conferences.

This administration is incapable of accomplishing anything good.
I understand all that. The problem is the US has had a lot of bad Presidents who were frankly clueless. Yet Trump is judged by a totally different set of rules.

Bush invaded Iraq for no reason or oil and used lies to fool some. Then believed the Afghans would welcome US troops. It's all a shit show now.

Clinton created Prime Mortgages which resulted in the biggest crash since the Great Depression.

Obama bombed Libya and helped get rid of Gaddafi now Europe is over run with illegal immigrants.

President Reagan armed the rebels in Afghanistan.

Continuous Presidents and politicians have helped corporations cut staffing across the US and passed the bill onto the tax payers.

Most of us know Trump's no deep thinker, but so far that's par for the course in America. He has two good ideas, reduce illegal and legal immigration and reduce the haemorrhaging of American jobs abroad.

On the rest he's as bad as his predecessors if not worse.
