D. He has done the occasional good thing, most notably withdrawing from the Paris Accord. But he's an utter failure and a joke most of the time.

He was a D last time. Now it's an F- with how he's doing his earnest to screw Puerto Rico, and now there's the latest ACA debacle that he created. I can't deal with it anymore.

A

He's kept american borders secure, almost eradicated ISIS (would have been eradicated by now if not for Gillibrand and Commie Harris questioning Mattis about LGBT issues), helped bring commin cents back into American culture, he repealed Obamacare but kept the great Affordable Care Act. Also, he's showing how bad reaganomics are through his release of a bad tax plan (he did this so he can reveal a better tax plan that goes against reaganomics b/c hes a 96 dimensional chess player) -- he's a man of the people. Also hes showing how rigged the deep state and establishment is and they're trying to stop him but everyone knows the american people will prevail and by american people i mean the real americans.

My actual rating is probably a C+. He's doing a great job shooting himself and the GOP in the foot, and has been slowly destabilizing the country, but nothing that bad has happened yet (low standards I know). So far I've been "pleased" with Trump compared to what I expected, but that's not really saying much because I expected him to be total dogpoop. I'm still worried about the future security of this country because of his impulsive and aggressive nature. ACA repeal and his tax plan have been pretty bad, and no other substantial policy has really come out of him. Anti-immigration orders are also dumb because we need immigrants to help pay for the social security and medicare of all the baby boomers we have.

Look at it this way -Trump has just made Medicare-for-All an inevitability the next time Democrats regain control of the tripartite (White House and Congress).

I want to give him an F, but honestly he is a D- at this point.
Agree with others that F- is coming soon, though.

I hate to be a fatalist, but considering the inherent disadvantage Democrats face with geographic distribution of votes in Congress/the Electoral College, let alone the apparent trend of Democrats losing the white working class vote, I don't think we can guarantee that this will happen any time soon.

I can't honestly give him anything but an F-. He is not only the worst president in US history, but the worst leader of any western country since Hitler.

F. If he hasn't surpassed Dubya, he's getting there, but I'm going to hold back on slapping him with an F- just in case he really does have a nuclear trick up his sleeve.

I disagree. You can always say that he could get even worse or that he is still not as bad as Hitler or whatever. But he is an absolute nightmare as leader of the free world. He's failing in a way that few people have failed before. He's absolutely the greatest at failing even the most basic tests for political leaders. Not giving him an F- is an insult to those leaders who are merely failing.

F-

For several reasons:

- Zero effort to unite the divided country
- Wants to restrict the press
- Uses language unworthy of a president; acts like a schoolyard bully rather than a president
- Lacks knowledge of ALL major political issues ("Nobody knew healthcare was complicated", "Why can't we use a-boms?", "What's the 25th amendment?",...)
- No leadership skills: Treats his people terrible (Sessions, Tillerson, etc.)
- Is only interested in his personal benefit
- Costs the taxpayer millions of dollars (security, etc.)
- Is totally unable with to work congress and own party, insults every senator not sharing his views
- Zero legislative accomplishments (so much for the great negotiator)
- Embraces racism (Charlottsville)
- Rips healthcare
- Denies climate change and guts clean power plan
- Wants to end DACA
- Obviously lied about the wall: I thought Mexico is going to pay? (again, so much for the great negotiator)
- Poor disaster management
- Is erratic and makes dumb treats
- Lies permanently (1,318 lies or misstatements in 264 days according to NYT)

This list is probably incomplete. So all in all: The dude is grossly incompetent, lacks the knowledge and stable personality to be president. Let alone possible collusion with Russia.

Honestly, I don't understand how anybody can still support this dude and not see that he's a complete fraud. He's not even a conservative, something that I disagree on but can respect.

F.

He's terrible, but hasn't done too much damage yet and wouldn't be the worst President in history, and he has been OK on some occasions like Harvey and Irma and Syria.

I'm waiting for the nukes to fly before I give him an F-. He's still better than James Buchanan and that crowd, but no one else at this point.

B+. Most circumstances are beyond his control, plus he has the deep stare at war with him. But he seems increasingly incapable of dealing with them effectively. I have resigned myself to the eventuality that we're going to have to do this all over again.
