@Spring Bloom:
All you've basically said is that you don't like him as a person, which is what everyone's problem is with him. You're treating the presidency like a personality contest instead of a competence contest. If you think he's such a boorish fool, how can you simultaneously think he isn't compromising America's dignity with all that "really stupid shit" he's saying all the time? Many great presidents have had difficult and even unpalatable personalities, including John Adams.
It sounds to me like you dislike him personally, but lack the wisdom and humility to separate personality from performance. You can't really bring yourself to fully denounce his performance, because you know that's a losing argument. So instead you just insult his personality, dismiss the job he's doing as merely non-cataclysmic, and try to blackpill everyone with forecasts of doom and gloom.
I've met so many people like you. Trump's personality is irrelevant. Action is what is important. His platform and his ability and likelihood to deliver on his promises is what is important. Obama came into office thinking he could do no wrong, did nothing of note and was praised, and has left office probably thinking he will be canonized. Trump is a narcissist, and envy is his motivation. He envies others and he wants them to envy him. He wants to be the best president in history so everyone loves and envies him. That is what narcissism is about: envy. So I don't really care that Trump's motivations are based on that aspiration, so long as the result of his actions mean a better America with a more prosperous population.
