Trump says a president named "Bill Smith" who did everything he's done would have been praised but because he's him and the "haters" are out for him, that doesn't happen.

It isn't your name we sneer at - it's your constant attacks on the innocent, your crass demeanor, your selfishness, and the many many crimes you continue to commit.

Quit your whining, you slobbering baby.

And in this case, his analogy to the fictitious Bill Smith (although who knows it might be one of the Trumpster's pseudonyms) would fare no better because being crass and vindictive and petty doesn't play well in most circles. Declaring yourself a nationalist, demonstrating racism and xenophobia and clearly revealing you don't know what the f*ck you're talking about? Those qualities generally do not promote respect or mark your tenure--even as an Imposter-in-Chief--with anything resembling integrity or success.

Regardless of their name, small, cruel, narcissistic people do not deserve praise for their deficits. They deserve to be shown the door, Asshat!

24. What Has He Done?

What exactly has he done? The economy, although doing well, is not really his economy. In addition, many have pointed out that the economy seems to be slower and slowing under him than under President Obama. Although Trump and his supporter claim that Trump's GDP numbers are so great, it has been pointed out that there were numerous quarters in which GDP growth was better under President Obama than in Trump's best quarter. He was able to get his tax cuts through, but they have done little to help the economy and in the process proved just about everything the Democrats said about the tax cuts right. Also, he had a Republican Congress and was hardly able to pass any legislation. You have to be a really horrible President in order to not be able to get legislation passed when your party controls both houses of Congress. I do believe it has been pointed out that just about every President other than Donald Trump was able to get more done in his first 100 days.

A President named Bill Smith, who was viewed as a serious President would have been treated far worse than Donald Trump has been treated. The media has gone soft on Donald Trump. Trump is a man who is barely doing his job. He barely participates in daily intelligence briefings, he orders actions, but does not oversea the actions once they are set to occur, and he takes no responsibility when things have the wrong results. If his name were not Donald Trump and the media held him to the standard of previous Presidents they would likely be calling for him to resign or be impeached for not doing his job properly.
