Trump turned to be an empty shell

That (bolded above) at least puts things in the proper context. The art (for the lack of a better word) of herding our 535 congress critters to change that which they (largely at the behest of major campaign cash contributors) have carefully crafted over many decades to generate a congressional re-election rate of over 90% is difficult to master. Much of the DC swamp is simply untouchable thanks to the very lawmakers (in both parties) that keep it so.

Replace congress critters with power hungry egomaniacs, and I am right behind you.

The uproar is doing fine over what he has accomplished - dividing the country, coarsening American society, mangling language, diminishing American influence abroad, undermining the press, normalizing lying, enriching himself and his family. A real peach of a leader.

Dividing the country, as did GW and BHO before him. Please think back.
As for coarsening the American society, I think that is true. Our leaders reflect who we are as a society. Think about it. Trump is representing who we are already.

So only people from the US can criticize Trump, the leader of, arguably, the most influential country in the world ? Really ?
Does that mean you have to hold your tongue regarding the activities of Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Benyamin Netanyahou, Theresa May and Malcolm Turnbull ? That would be such a sad, sad, silly world.

If the criticism had any basis in reality, then maybe.

This is a whine about Trump not fulfilling all of his campaign promises, that have no affect on anybody in Finland, in the year he has been in office.

Does anybody in the US criticize other leaders for not fulfilling campaign promises as fast as they want them to?

If his criticism has no basis in reality, you answer said criticism with facts and evidence that show that the OP is wrong. You don't start attacking his country.

No, but they sure can if they want to.
Europeans are interested in American politics because the US have a really large influence globally and also because american politics are waaaay more fun than European politics. The divisive climate, the bipartisan hackery and the philosophical debates are more "black and white", making american political debate forums more vitriolic and interesting. Swiss politics, for example, are more about specific technical details, which is for most quite boring.

I wish I would get paid by writing threads on internet forums.

And so what if he would pay? It's a voluntary transaction involving money from one party, and far-left communist propaganda from the other party, capitalist style, right?

Also, nice grammar.

The greatest technological breakthroughs from Finland are a laughable joke.... Thats what happens when you have Socialism no motivation, no personal ambition, and just hang around trying on womens clothes and getting high!

Sigh... Weed isn't even legal in Finland... Shows that you know nothing about Finland.

Finland is far from socialist.

The quality of living is a lot better in Finland, Finns have it much better than Americans.

P.S: Nice ad hominem

Like every other president, Trump, of course, has kept an incredibly small percent of his promises.

Hillary still not in jail, Trump still didn't "reveal who ACTUALLY did 9/11", Obamacare still not repealed, still no "drain the swamp", ineffective wall (that isn't even being paid by Mexico, like he said).

Seems like the #1 idol of Republicans and conservatives has turned out to be excactly similar like all the presidents before him, only with a impolite and politically incorrect mask to make him seem like "something different".

I wonder if Obama thinks similar thoughts about Trump when he's sitting down after a hard day of doing nothing, smoking a doobie that he got someone else to roll for him. Or, maybe he's thinking about all those EO's and regulations of his that have been tossed in the trash.

After all, Trump promised to do that, too. And did.

If you mean representing the worst in people - selfishness, lack of curiosity, crudity, that's true. We usually look for leaders to represent the best in people.

No one has plead guilty to a crime that could affect President Trump.

Now, we need to have solid evidence that President Trump broke the law...right?
 
Barnacle said:
In that case we shall see how much Trump has accomplished ... when the matter of time and Mueller are over.

Until then, he is still working on fulfilling his promises. And his presidency isn't over as of today ... :)

He promised to provide his full tax returns for public view. When is he going to accomplish that?

Does it matter? He said he would publish them when he isn't being audited... But what difference does it make if he paid 40% or 0%? Does that make his Presidency null and void?

I mean is this all you got? He was afforded the same tax laws you were, if he used them LEGALLY to pay the least amount possible good for him!

No, of course not. I began with that one because it was/still is a very easy promise to fulfill. He promised and he lied.

Why do all conservatives bring up Obama everytime someone critizes Trump? Yeah, Dems do it too (just the other way around). And Trump golfs much more than Obama, and it's like Trump is doing all that much, atleast compared to Obama.

Ah yes, the classical two sides.

Either you just LOOOVE Trump or just LOOOVE Hillary.

Shame there isn't over 30 political viewpoints and approaches to take when looking at... anything.

Well, I don't know about "all conservatives", so I can't answer your question.

I brought up Obama to dramatize the fact that there are some things Trump said he was going to do...and did.

You should console the liberals with that. They are upset at the fact that he is keeping his word. ;)
