Trump is kind of an abhorrent idiot
Who could deny that, though, really? On a net basis, Trump is quite a specimen, but he plays the abhorrent idiot better, and more often, than most. Cringeworthy comments, full-blown egoism, petty obsessions - he da man. So what? Trump is representing the interests of America and Americans more diligently and thoughtfully than almost any of his predecessors, and that's all that counts. NeverTrumpers have played their hand so badly, raising when they should have been folding - they're out of the game.

Trump is the first who'd admit he's a bundle of faults. I love this clip, where he says that not drinking is one of his only good traits and asks the audience "can you imagine if I drank, what a mess I'd be"? Much of his humor, as in the CPAC speech yesterday, is self-deprecating.

That end of life date for Win7 has me cringing. So much of our LE software both private and state vendors is tied to it. We have to pay extra to have Win7 installed because many of our programs don’t work with newer OS. I’m assuming vendors are working on it, but we all know about assuming.

Unlike many, I do NOT think Trump is an idiot. For one thing, he managed to outfox all of his GOP rivals, beat Hillary Clinton, and accomplish far more in his first 2 years than any other president in my lifetime.
How does he get so many trade deals done? How does he know about moving money and using executive orders?
Here is a short clip of an interview he did with Oprah in 1988. He spoke of many of the policies he promotes today:

I doubt "many" genuinely think Trump is an idiot. Many say so because he's dangerous to them. Just as many claimed that Reagan was an amiable dunce, and that W was a chimp. I think Nixon was the last Republican president that the left didn't label an idiot of some sort. They don't seem to get the fact that most of the country is on to their antics.

I don't think he's an idiot, but I think he's plenty abhorrent sometimes, and is not above criticism. Trump says things sometimes that he knows are not true. Some would call that "lying", I would just say he's a New Yorker talking some merde.

I think we underestimate how little the nevertrump shitbirds actually believe in conservative political principles.
They like to debate the theory of conservatism and they know they don't like a lot of prog ideas but in a lot of ways these political commentators are apolitical.
In a way they are the only real conservative ideologues.
True conservatives embrace a political philosophy, not an ideology, and therefore are engaged in a battle to implement a nuts and bolts, practical political framework to maximize liberty, limit government and prevent power grabs by the state.
The nevertrump ideologues have always been characterized by a pie-in-the-sky debating society in which some future conservative paradise will blossom and the entire world will enjoy Georgetown cocktail parties, fine cigars and wearing docker shoes without socks, khakis and blue blazers.
They adhere to a vague cultural conservatism and wish to leave the politics to the hired help. It's not that they all are or even any of them are rich. They just think they should be. In a just, culturally conservative world, men who swank about writing boring political drivel and cultural dirges would actually own vast Sea Cucks and the Trumps of the world would be swabbing their poop decks for them.
T Coddington Van Voorhess VII is a caricature to us, but an aspiration to them.
And BTW, Goldbrick's commentary has always been "colorful" in the same way the high school nerd with the permanent melvin wrote colorful commentary for the school newspaper.
He's an adolescent hack and always has been. If I read another lame segue about his effin dog or another retarded Star Wars reference I'm gonna gag.

His “lies” are usually more like hyperbole, or in some cases off-the-cuff imprecise speech. The problem his enemies have with him is not that he lies, but that he speaks too much truth.

"A Tennessee school district apologized Thursday after a homework assignment asked students to pretend their “family owns slaves.”
Actually, it was a pretty good assignment. I don’t think Dr. Mike Looney, director of Williamson County schools, should have apologized. It was a thoughtful assignment and would likely have benefited the students, their families and even critics. The students were eighth-graders, and were asked, “Imagine that their family owns slaves and then ‘create a list of expectations’ for those slaves.
Besides, which slaves in that school district were offended?
Dr. Looney’s real problem wasn’t that he touched the slavery-rail of “I’m offended politics”; it was that he asked students in his district to think. You see, thinking about things means you might arrive at the wrong conclusion."

Trump thought it might hurt Cruz if he said it, though, so he said it. The difference between Trump and every politician since Pericles might be that others would get an aide to spread that kind of talk, but Trump delights in doing it himself.

MT,
I don't think Rutan was an F-4 driver but I do know he had to eject out of a F-100 he was flying. The F-4 flew out of Udan, Thailand as part of the "triple nickel" squadron. The F-100 was used as a FastATC vehicle.

I don't mind people bringing up Trump's faults one bit.
I'm with GUS and MissM, though, that so far those faults don't amount to much. Not only are they minor compared to the positives but the the evil on display by Dems, Swamp, MSM and GOPe makes Trump's foibles recede to mere quibbles.

My publishing industry contact tells me there are at least 5 different publishers preparing for a 726 page “Mueller Report”, so I’m baffled why the talking heads are still wondering if the report will be released.

Jonsey was definitely Dick’s wingman. I’ve even talked to him about it. They both redeployed to England after their tour was over. (Their 1st wives were buds.)

Well, Trump's hyperbole isn't as harmful as scaring kids that we only have 10 years left until the planet dies, or accusing everyone who supports Trump of being racist, or keeping top-secret information on an unsecured server in your office where all sorts of foreign hackers could access the information.
I go for results. And he gets results.

MT,
But Burt Rutan was a stateside test pilot including F-4's.
