Do you think the Trump Presidency, so far, has been a disaster?

[Thank you for being a friend...]

He's a rather standard conservative Republican.  His administration is virtually no different than that of the Reagan and Bush administrations.  It's really all the same agenda: less taxes, cut social programs, tough talk towards the enemy, military buildup, use patriotism to whip up supporters against the coastal liberal elites, Scalias on the courts.  I lived through the Bush administration.  None of this is new.

Donald Trump is a throwback President.  His whole message is taking America back to a previous greatness.  At the same time, his behavior is so contemporary in its crudeness.  No self-respecting man would have behaved this way back in the 1950s.  People were much more dignified and professional back then in public.  The idea of a President using the words "son of a bitch" at a rally would have been unthinkable.  Of course previous Presidents used course language, but Trump flaunts it in a way that has turned the Presidency into a profanity-laden reality TV show.  When a President has to be bleeped when he gives a speech on TV, you know there is no class anymore.

America can't seem to break out of these hyper-partisan administrations.  For 4 or 8 years, one half of the country is miserable until the other side wins again, then the other half is miserable.  After 2006, 2008, 2010, 2016, its all the same old pattern repeating itself and its getting old.

In the Bush years, I was scared and angry, in the Obama years, I was frustrated yet optimistic, now in the Trump teens, I am just done with the cycle. 

Are there are any people on here who were teens or college students in the 2000s and are now in their thirties, and are becoming extremely depressed about politics?  I'm starting to begin to understand why my dad is so cynical.
