Is the Trump presidency as good/bad as you expected?

[Syt]

In a bit over a year Americans are called upon voting for a new president.

With about 15 months to go till the inauguration of the new and/or old president, has the Trump presidency met your expectations?

[Sophie Scholl]

Much worse.  I'm one of the fools who thought he'd be bored by the actual job and let reasonably competent advisers and underlings do the job while he just played golf and held rallies.  Instead...

[Ancient Demon]

Much better. 

[Barrister]

Better, but my expectations were exceedingly low.  I thought he'd have driven the world into recession by now, instead of merely on the brink of one.

[crazy canuck]

Much worse.  I did not think the rest of the democratic institutions in the US would be so easily subverted.

[Maximus]

Slightly worse. I haven't been surprised by anything he's done, but I've been somewhat surprised by things others have not done in response.

[Josquius]

Worse. Thought he'd be gone by now.

[chipwich]

Much worse. Although much of that worseness is based on the Senate's unwillingness to bring him down.

[The Brain]

Slightly worse. I didn't know before the election that he was so extremely stupid.

[grumbler]

I agree with BA.  I thought he'd be a do-nothing president, not an actively anti-American president.

[DGuller]

Much worse.  I was naive enough to believe that the office would change him, instead of him changing the office (and the rest of government).

[dps]

Slightly worse.  I knew he'd be corrupt and incompetent, but I thought he'd set aside the Twitter account, but since he didn't, he's been more embarrassing than I expected.

[Eddie Teach]

As bad as expected. His administration has been worse, but the country and the world have limped along in spite of him.

[Admiral Yi]

Slightly worse.  I really thought the daily barrage of dumbassery and illegality would slowly but surely chip away at his approval, which it hasn't.

[mongers]

I agree with BA.  I thought he'd be a do-nothing president, not an actively anti-American president.

This is an astonishing thing to say and yet the evidence points that way; he's doing a 'fine' job of weakening America's standing in the world and wrecking the international system.

Latest news is the SDF/YPG are considering turning to Assad and Russia for aid/protection.
