Yep, that's pretty much where I am with Trump. I'm happy with a number of his accomplishments but I really, really dislike him. And disliking him wouldn't necessarily keep me from voting for him, though I didn't in 2016. Unfortunately, some aspects of his personality make his fitness for office questionable, in my opinion (his apparent tone-deafness on matters of race is a big one for me, but there are others). I don't expect to vote for him in 2020, but I'm not entirely ruling it out. It depends on what he does between now and then, and who the Dems put up against him.
I somewhat agree with you. I always say Trump was my 17th choice, but in reality he was about my 12th choice. But I remain in awe of the good things that he’s accomplished and the promises he’s kept, with an adversarial House and Senate (being in the same party didn’t guarantee cooperation, and in fact he’s received very little from the house and senate. )
That being said, can you explain the “tone deafness on matters of race”? I mean no disrespect, but I’d like to understand it. I’m interested because the left as a matter of perceived fact simply concludes Trump is a racist, and in turn his voters like me are also racist. I hate it, and just don’t see it. Ive listened to many of his speeches, read many things that he’s written including his cringeworthy tweets, but I still don’t see this racial facet.
I will say he’s an equal opportunity offender, but criticizing a black or Hispanic doesn’t mean the man is racist.
