Not bad, not good, simple and easy to remember. And this sentence is the truth!

explaining away everything he promised and didn't do.

And, why not? It works for him, thanks to our media.

That’s not going to work, it makes us sound weak. Corrupt is better because it can be proven. Calling him a bully just comes off as whiney.

Could anyone convince you that you are wrong about that?

If you carefully ponder that question, then you might realize what you are dealing with here. First, there are loyalists that are literally immune to any arguments that you can present to them. Convincing them of anything is merely an invitation to reactions and arguments that will tend to devolve into nothing but a blend of their own identification with their leader and a collection of trivial phrases concerning what they have been told, and then believe, to be absolutely true.

Another point that bears on this conundrum is the mother of all biases, the confirmation bias and I think that applies here. People who are unable to see their own biases, (and that is common) tend to look for, and agree with what confirms their biases. It is rather simple. The interesting part is that the drive towards confirmation can make what you say that contradicts their beliefs fuel for the confirmation in some way, shape or form. Thus, your attempt fails in two ways.

We are dealing with some people who are prone to believing what they think, no matter what it is and their operant conditioning is a habitual, reinforced and automatic set of reactions that they may have little or no control over in that respect. They have x posters pasted up all over the walls of their conceptual shells and that is their "truth" and the wallpaper paste is ignorance.

I am not saying nothing can be done to persuade people, (especially those who do not fall into the above description fully) but it should be clear that conventional means and intelligent, sound, logical, or even factual, evidence-based means will not necessarily have any effect. They might continue to cling to their cherished notions even as the charred remains of their world shudder and fall around them.

As long as he targets "others", "lying, mean, corrupt, vicious, crooked, cruel, evil" is what they wanted. It's what they voted for.

to convince. Yes, a lot of people are having 2nd thoughts about Trump. And this might convince them. Also, I doubt that we could ever convince 25 percent to change their minds. They are "true believers" But many others are indeed worried about Mr. Trump as being President of the United States.

Trump's approval ratings are historically stable. His current approval average is within one point of where he started and he's hasn't dropped under 40% in two years. His base is probably closer to 40% than 25%. We tend to habitually underestimate his (inexplicable) support and there is very little evidence that there's anyone out there to convince.

Most people made up their minds about Trump years ago. Some decades ago. The only people who would support Trump in the first place weren't bothered by his behavior then and haven't been bothered by his behavior the past three years, so why would they be bothered now? If nothing he's done so far swayed them, then nothing will and nothing has really changed.

Convincing Trumpsters is a losing battle. The only way to beat him is to win the turnout battle.

"He talks tough and pwns people...thanks why I like him"

You're not going to change those minds.

(one extended family, the other two co-workers) use the word to describe him and mean it as praise. They love the way he bullies Democrats. I mean orgasmically love that he's a bully. That is what they want from him and they do not shy away from the word. As long as he's bullying folks they disagree with, it's a selling point with them.
