You are not completely wrong in your description of DC. But the answer to that problem is not a shady reality TV show host who wants to replace the current establishment with a new one - his own family. Like all “reformers” in history who have attacked the ruling elite, they inevitably become the ruling elite, more corrupt than those they replaced.
Term limits is the answer to the question you are asking. Not Trump.
Nah I just liked Trumps policies and the fact that he did what he could to enact them. He’s far to politically inexperienced and egotistical,
And good luck getting term limits passed. That ship sailed a long long time ago. These people will do anything to stay in office
He did himself in with his crazy tweets and completely unsophisticated approach. He gave his opponents all the ammunition they needed and then some, with his crass unpresidential demeanor and horrible communication skills. He didn’t respect the office and he wasn’t conciliatory, but pugilistic and bullying. NOBODY likes a bully or someone who can show no self control or ability to elevate himself above the fray.
Say what you want about his agenda/policies but Obama was a master at seeming to rise above the politics. He is a much more polished speaker and far better communicator.
Had Trump taken a much less aggressive and mature approach and let his detractors say what they want without bombastic reckless retribution he would have garnered more support from the middle. His policies did help lower and middle class people quite effectively, but he should’ve known he’d never get credit where due.
In a situation with a hostile media and political establishment on both sides he would’ve done far better in the end had he took the high ground and let the office of President and the people’s desire to see someone stable and conciliatory Work in his favor.
You can only beat someone up for so long without fighting back before most moderately political people will take the side of the person taking the high road and staying out of the political gutter. Trump is a street brawler who thinks he can put punch and outlast you, he wants to live in the gutter of media brawling but this was a disastrous approach to say the least.
Ronald Reagan was a master of communication and using the office of President, and moderation in his words, to engender respect and support in spite of a very hostile media, and this is fundamentally why he was reelected. He connected with everyday people from a broad swath of the populous.
