    None of them ever accept blame.

    The difference is that he fucks up with such frequency that he has to not accept blame a lot.

    That's simply spin from Bannon, Milo, and Breitbart. Breitbart was actively complicit in giving known neo-Nazis and white supremacists a voice within the site and helping make them members in good standing of the alt-right and, indeed, within Bannon's "economic nationalists" or whatever he's calling his branch of the GOP.

    You might want to actually check out the (rather long) BuzzFeed story that @Double Down recommended a while back. It lays out the case with the help of many emails from Milo, Bannon, and company. It is directly on point to (and directly refutes) what you say above.

    But then again, sounds like he's gonna be busy with that opioid plan he promised to have by next week. Again.

    Here's the thing... I'm happy with how the Trump presidency is going.

    Both in what it's done and doing, and in what it has prevented Hillary Clinton from doing.

    Well, at least that's an answer. Thank you.

    We get it - whatever Trump does, you'll be able to fall back on, "Well at least it's better than what I'm just certain Hillary Clinton would have done!"

















































    .... and for the record: Arguments like that are why some of us think Trump voters are stupid.

    But it is better. Not just different, but in many cases a 180 degree difference, and a world better.

    From the Justice he appointed to the Supreme Court, and the judges he will appoint to lower courts, to the SecDef he named, and the authority he gave him to prosecute the war against ISIS, what Trump is doing is different and better.

    From dealing with Qatar, to the tough stance he's taken with Iran and North Korea, to our reaffirmation of our allegiance with Israel, to our cooperation with the Gulf States and Egypt to thwart ISIS and Iran, and protect Israel, it's all different, and it's all better.

    Our immigration policies and enforcement measures are an improvement, and are making a difference. And, Hillary Clinton would have never implemented them.

    The regulations he's cut are beneficial, and would have never been done by Hillary.

    Health Care and tax reform aren't done, but what he's working towards are much better than what Hillary would have done.

    The stock market is up. Consumer confidence is up. The labor participation rate is up. Unemployment is down.

    Illegal border crossings are down.

    ISIS ha been run out of Mosul, and they're currently fleeing Raqqa.

    Trump even worked with Democrats to avoid a debt limit crisis.

    I'll gladly take more of this.

    Name some regulations cut by Trump which are beneficial.

    The stock market has been up since 2010. But from 2010 until January 20, 2017, stock market gains weren't an actual indicator, and it was only benefiting the rich.
