Meets with Kim

This. This is such a big deal. Technically the Koreas are still at war, just a cease fire in place (armistice). And he makes a gesture to a very unstable individual. Very risky politically, but the only move you make if you actually give a fuck about world stability and peace.

I knew he wasn't a small government guy going into voting for him. That was something I had to stomach. However you are 100% right about the foreign aide. That is easily the most frustrating thing about his presidency. brings up good points and I think we need to take the good with the bad. Another thing I will add to that list is the amount of conservative federal judges he is getting appointed. He has also greatly reduced legal immigration from shithole countries.

To paraphrase , what the fuck else am I supposed to do? I voted libertarian for president when it was Obama vs McCain. In that election I couldn't stand either of those idiots. So I didn't care. This time around, as much as Trump has room to improve, there is no way I could risk Hillary being president.

Trump is doing a lot that I like, but yes there is a lot left to be desired.

We don't want the perfect to be the enemy of the good. However one judges his success at it, I don't see any other contender standing up for US sovereignty and jobs/manufacturing.

USMCA just might be a different form of TPP. The Devil is in the details, as always with those monstrosities.

Who the fuck am I supposed to vote for?

I'm not joking, at this point I have no fucking clue what to do.

I think right now none of that matters.

No one to vote for really and even voting for someone isn't going to do anything to me personally.

This current government has to go and then a new one be built. Not the Founding Documents of America or The United States, but the government for that matter. Separate the two completely and it's the government that's the problem and the government has got to go and start over. There's nothing that can really be done for now at all to me personally.

It doesn't matter who I vote for because I live (for now) in a solidly red state.

I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 because I didn't believe the rhetoric that he'd put Hillary in jail, drain the swamp, etc. Yes, the economy is indeed booming - with record unemployment - but he's added record numbers to the debt and was supposed to do the opposite. Now I don't know if he ever claimed to be a conservative specifically, but he sure doesn't seem like one to me.
