And yet his supporters come to this conclusion:

[quote=sdduuuude]Rather than pointing out specific policies that have resulted in specific problems, they just attack Trump personally.[/quote]

The amazing thing about the Trump presidency is not Trump himself – he’s really just an ordinary con man. The amazing thing is the alternate reality that his supporters have created to reconcile his words and actions.

Because yeah, it’s the “liberals” that ignore issues and just attack personally.[/quote]

I agree.

And I would add that it is valid to attack him personally. If a person has certain bad character traits, then he’s not fit to be president. And Donald Trump has almost every bad character trait I can think of. Here are a few:

Sloppy. Lazy. Incurious. Petty. Vindictive. Willfully ignorant. Deceitful. Childish. Arrogant. Callous. Cowardly. Cruel. Improvident. Greedy. Foolish. Impulsive. Impatient. Intolerant. Selfish. Self-centered. Narcissistic. Boorish. Tactless. Thoughtless. Untrustworthy. Weak-minded.

He’s all of those things and more. Are those personal attacks? Sure they are. Should we refrain from leveling those attacks on him because they don’t pertain to policies? Of course we shouldn’t. Because those traits affect his leadership of the people of this country, his relationships with congress, with foreign leaders, with other politicians, with business leaders. Etc. Those personality traits affect his ability to collaborate with any person or group of people. Those personality traits affect our standing in the world. Those personality traits are a huge part of what makes him the horrible president that he is.
