Politics - The Trump Thread - View Post

I'm one of the people who gave Trump the benifet of the doubt, his first term. He was anti War, a non politician, rich enough to not be sway by lobbying, wanted to be loved so much he'd bend over backwards for praise etc. I even kinda wanted to see him win this last election, quietly but I care much less but my God, this term I can see how fucking wrong I was. The man has turned into just another politician but a far more incompetent one and the power has gone to his head. He can't see reality anymore. Can't see the innocent people in Iran among the evil people. I have to wonder is this just a side effect of power and it changes people's brains so much that we'll never have a truly good leader in this world. It's saddening but then it gets confusing cause every now and then he does something good, like cutting red tape for radical treatment of mental illnesses. It's confusing. 

The worst leaders still do good things and they want us to focus on them. You’re probably a good person and yet certainly do bad things just as we all do. So not a binary type of thing. Perhaps we should be defined by our actions with the biggest impact.
