Here is how to be sensible about Trump even while acknowledging his human shortcomings.

[Yo Daddy!]

When you meet someone who isnt to your liking, sooner or later you usually try looking for some positive trait or characteristic to offset your negative opinions so you can have a sensible view of the person, if it's possible.

If you like Tony Schwartz's criticism of Trump and agree with it, the SENSIBLE way to make sense of this is to ALSO acknowledge the awesome things Trump did as POTUS.

No one can have a second thought about Trump and sugarcoat his idiocy to make him acceptable to anything. He was born an ratbag and been losing ground ever since.

"awesome"? you mean like claim he actually won the election but didn't because it was "stolen"?
you mean like refusing to wear a mask in public because he was too much of a pu$$y to offend his snowflake base?
you mean like ticking off our allies?
you mean like making up stupid nicknames for people he didn't like?
you mean like hiring his family for jobs they weren't qualified for?

During his final year as president, hundreds of thousands of Americans died from a pandemic that Trump deliberately downplayed to the public.
Public health experts have cited Trump's nonchalant approach to the virus and tendency to reject science as one of the primary factors in why the US emerged as the epicenter.

Trump refused to accept responsibility for his failed response to the pandemic, blaming China instead.

Trump blamed "many sides" for the violence at the rally, which resulted in the death of a counterprotester, Heather Heyer. He later said there were "very fine people on both sides."

The former president was excoriated by Republicans and Democrats alike over his response and his failure to offer a swift and forceful condemnation of white-supremacist violence.

America's global image declined significantly under Trump, who repeatedly insulted key US allies while cozying up to dictators.

GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, often one of Trump's fiercest defenders in Congress, at the time said the former president's words were "dividing Americans, not healing them."

Trump never offered a replacement for the Affordable Care Act. As a candidate Trump promised "insurance for everybody" and a more immediate replacement to the nearly decade-old ACA. But he didn't deliver on that as president.

Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem), a project that monitors the health of democracy across the world, in its 2020 report said the US has become more autocratic in the Trump era.

"The United States – former vanguard of liberal democracy – has lost its way," V-Dem's 2020 report said, adding that the US "is the only country in Western Europe and North America suffering from substantial autocratization."

So, what....this is some kind o' soft-nationalism pitch / hustle???

Fuck, Donald Trump.

Every time he's given a second-chance....the benefit of the doubt....somebody's gonna get fucked....and, it's never him.

He's a sadistic-prick who's only entitled to both barrels.

There is a need for any POTUS to do the best he can for the most numbers of Americans.

Sometimes the sheep rancher's interests have to suffer vs the interests of the cattle ranchers because cattle don't eat the prairie vegetation down to the dirt like sheep do.

Because Fauci said it was a cosmetic gesture.

Do you ever pay attention to useful, accurate news reports?

While Fauci, along with several other US health leaders, initially advised people not to wear masks, Fauci later said that he was concerned that there wouldn’t be enough protective equipment for health care workers. This was also early in the pandemic before public health experts fully knew how contagious the disease was and how it spread.

Fauci explained that at that time, “we were not aware that 40 to 45% of people were asymptomatic, nor were we aware that a substantial proportion of people who get infected get infected from people who are without symptoms. That makes it overwhelmingly important for everyone to wear a mask.”

“So when people say, ‘Well, why did you change your stance? And why are you emphasizing masks so much now when back then you didn't -- and in fact you even said you shouldn't because there was a shortage of masks?’ Well the data now are very, very clear,” he said.

obviously YOU don't pay attention, moron. lol. its not march of 2020 anymore. duh.
