He's already made America better, and I believe he's going to do many more amazing things for this country in the future. The media makes him out to be a tyrant who wants nothing but to divide us, and it's a shame people follow and believe it.

I hope he gets re-elected in 2020

I really hope you're joking and this is Satan-tier satire. If you're serious... well, I feel bad for you. His administration has been an absolute disaster and has done virtually nothing positive for the country. I hope he doesn't get a chance in 2020 but I have so little faith in my countrymen that I'm just waiting for his reign of ignorance to continue. Can't wait to lose all of my rights for being trans. That'll be fucking awesome! /s

To put it simply, no. He, and his administration, have not made America great again. They have done the exact opposite and have turned this nation into a laughingstock. It would take weeks to rattle off the deplorable shit they've done, but I don't have that kind of time. The highlights are putting a shill for Verizon in charge of the FCC, putting a shill for the coal industry in charge of the EPA, allowing the FCC to repeal Net Neutrality, reversing the transgender bathroom order, banning transgender people from serving in the military, loosening protections on the ESA for corporate interests, selling billions of dollars worth of arms to terrorists (oops, I meant Saudis), denying that climate change is a legitimate concern, having multiple staff members resign or get fired, pushing for a racist border wall and not reigning in the US Gestapo (oops, I mean ICE). The big one though... is the trade war with China. That is a monumental amount of unabashed stupidity. All of the things I listed previously are bad enough on their own, but they're in the one tyrant's run in office that's not even done yet. It's like he's trying to speedrun the destruction of an entire nation. If this kind of ineptitude counts as great, that's a pretty low bar.

I'm 50/50 about Trump (he's done things I like and dislike) but all politicians overall don't make America great at all. Especially Pence.

He should have never been VP with how he ran Indiana as Gov.

I AM FROM SCOTLAND, NOT USA, I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO USA, I HAVE NEVER LIVED OUTSIDE OF SCOTLAND, HOWEVER I AM GOING TO SHARE MY OPPINION THAT DEMOCRAT SJWS MAY DEEM OFFENSIVE, EVEN THOUGH I AM EXCERCIZING FREE SPEECH (EVEN IF WE DON'T HAVE IT HERE ANYMORE)

 

I think that (although he has been struggling against the Democrats fighting to stop him from improving America) he has been trying his best to make America great,
He's starting great progress on the border wall (which seems to be the only way to stop illegal migration into the United States), which you can still cross, but you need to LEGALLY enter the USA, not just jump the fence!
there are a couple things I disagree with, but generally he's USA's best bet

Sorry but my opinion is my opinion. Your opinion is yours. Hate it or agree with it. I don't care 

[Mini 451]

I'm not American so I can't really say. But Australians typically see Trump as a joke of a president who's turning the USA into a laughing stock. What I find interesting about Trump is how divided the country is on their opinion of him. You have some people that adamantly praise him and will ignore any of his faults and others who vehemently despise him and will ignore any of his actual good deeds. 

What upsets me the most about him is his environmental policy. It's horrendous, and it's obvious he only has the best interests of environmentally-ignorant corporations in mind. If I'm certain about one thing, it's that a president who can't foresee the need for renewable energy and the strict protection of the environment is not going to make America great again.

Indeed things look very grim with that case headed to the Supreme Court over whether or not it is legal to fire people for just being LGBT. We have only the right playing dirty and the Trump administration to thank for this blatantly discriminatory case. The Republicans practically stole Obama's rightful Supreme Court nomination, and then got another one (where they tried their darndest to sweep what they did for the last nomination under the rug and claim the Democrats are being "obstructionist".). So... This case, which was ordered by the Trump administration, is going to a Supreme Court which is stacked in their favor. (But because Trump once held an upside down pride flag and pledged to protect LGBT people from the foreigners - who sure as heck aren't the ones threatening our rights in the USA - the media and the log cabin Republicans were all over how he's oh-so-progressive on LGBT rights.)

And that's what is going to hurt us a whole lot - the Supreme Court, whose appointments are life long. If Trump gets elected again, the LGBT community is only going to be hurting more and more. They are not going to stop at transgender people being banned in the military, nor are they going to even stop at the right for workplaces to fire people for just being LGBT, or allowing doctors to refuse to serve LGBT people... And I mean everything I just listed is absolutely horrible. What are they going to do next? I'm scared.

And you're right, I don't have faith he'll lose (electoral college-wise) in 2020, either. Although I do guarantee that once again he'll lose the popular vote and continue to not be supported by the vast majority of Americans. Tyranny of the minority. I'm tired of people trying to tell me that this is the Right's last rise before they finally lose. It doesn't matter if they lose later when they've stacked the Supreme Court. The Left better get their act together and do every single thing to take him down. It won't solve everything because Trump is almost like a creation of everything the Right has become and will continue to be even after he is out of office, but Trump being in office is harming us badly.

I think he's done a good job governing America. Sure he's not perfect but I'm satisfied with everything he's done for the country and hope he'll get elected again.

Hell no. As a matter of fact, he's making it freaking WORSE. Hell, it's gotten to the point to where I think the only chance I have to be truly safe is to hide in a top-secret high security bunker somewhere in an EXTREMELY remote region of the planet. (And no, I'm not kidding.)

[Phosphor 11,529]

I think Trump is doing some good things and plan to vote for him in 2020, provided he doesn't start anymore wars. I like his economic nationalist message and immigration policies.

Legit. This is one area where I strongly disagree with Trump. He is terrible on environmental issues. 

[DubWolf 17,263]

America (the US) is a people, not a place, as Odin described Asgard to his son. Has my quality of life improved? (become "greater"?). It hasn't gotten worse, but I'm too privileged (I'm not) to be a good indicator, however that doesn't mean things are perfect with me. Not that I'm looking or begging for help (others might be), but, in one instance, what has been done to help reduce the costs of education for students? That doesn't mean free tuition or "erasing the debt" like others willy-nilly will say to get votes, but could mean finding ways to reduce expenditures so that higher education doesn't have to put a dent on people's living. Again I ask, differently, has Trump made education greater for Americans? Certainly not. That's just one example, in one case.

Kicking out all the illegal immigrants and tax cuts to the rich isn't going to make life for Americans very much greater either (yeah you can argue the former will make it safer, but I betcha the bulk of people who die under the hands of illegal immigrants had some sort of personal matter with them or went into the wrong neighborhood, and weren't just a victim of some "random act of violence").

The Trump administration's case regarding employers and LGBT workers isn't going to make America greater for all Americans either.

Will Trump have made America greater for some? Probably, but he can't get a definite yes while there are people under fire directly from his administration.

The division is part of the game. They keep us fighting amongst ourselves so they can run off with all the fucking money. Either way, the people who loathe him and his administration are correct and those who praise him are brain dead sheep. There's a reason why so many despise this administration: they've done more to harm the people of the US than any administration in history. Even Nixon's administration wasn't this bad! Of course, I have a bit of a personal stake in a lot of this. What with transgender rights being under fire all the time and the potential for all LGBT people to be fired for that reason with no recourse.

Have you not seen the insidious shit his administration has done?! What is it that they've done positively?! And does it outweigh the overwhelming damage they've done to the nation?

Here's the unfortunate part: you're completely wrong. His administration is fucking terrible and I listed many reasons why. Can you justify your opinion? Because I really want to know how you find this absurdly criminal, corrupt administration as a positive.

No he will not. He has single handidly pushed our country back 50 years when it comes to race relations and nuclear arms. He's made this country the laughing stock of the world.

Me, personally, I feel that he's already done a good job making this country great again.

Just thought of a great idea; So Trump is a total disaster and he is a failure as a leader. Here's how he can make this country great; Give him the world's largest sharpie. Boom, he will draw greatness for us!

[A Small Bear 60]

Trump is an enigma. There's just so much about him that I don't understand. How can a man so glaringly incompetent still be so adored? How can his supporters seemingly ignore or defend every controversy he's been involved in? Why do people still seem to think he's making this country great when he's one of the single most divisive presidents this country has seen? It's astounding to me how his supporters can brush off all criticism and continue to blindly support him in spite of all the damage he's causing.

[Twilight Luna 31,386]

Trump is as close to making America great again as I am to figuring out cold fusion.

That's the strategy. When talking about Trump in a positive light, do so in a way that is as vague as possible and not actually naming any real positives at all. It is just as empty and worthless as his dumb catchphrase to begin with. Trump's arrogant and nationalistic existence is enough for many people.

If there is one thing "positive" that I can say that Trump has done, it is that he has shown us how the "United States" are not united at all. The concept of it all is now a facade. People hate each other, everyone is divided and states do not stand with each other anymore. Trump has shown us that in waves. He's also shown us how terrible this society truly is but that goes without saying.

[HeavenSunset 1,867]

I have no american heritage whatsoever but i don't believe he will make america great "again"

[Cyandashie 128]

I used to be pro-Trump and some of my old status updates show, lmao.

However, I'm much less supportive of him now, as he's just a dick. I agree with some of his policies but honestly all he does is divide the population, all while still giving billions of dollars to Israel and letting them drag us into more wars with the Middle East. Good thing he's at least attempting to pull out of the area, though.

TL;DR - I don't like Trump that much anymore, and I don't think he's doing any favors for America. Yang Gang
