Feel free to explain how he has "insulted dozens of countries and leaders".  I'm sure your driving point here is around immigration.  I guess by enforcing our laws and tightening up security at our borders, that's considered an insult?  

Other than a few staunch liberal leaders around the world who were never going to warm up to Trump, it seems to me that most world leaders have been more than capable of separating rhetoric from action.  You should really consider giving that a try.

He claimed China was "raping our country" and that climate change was a hoax started by the Chinese to make American trade non-competitive.


He accepted a phone call from Taiwan and overturned decades of diplomatic protocal, angering the chinese.

He hung up on the president of Australia when he was asked about keeping an agreement we had already made with them before he was elected. 

He insulted the city of Paris after the terrorists attacks. 

He declined to shake Angela Merkels hand at a joint press conference, like a 2 year old having a temper tantrum. 

He constantly dogs Mexico and even campaigned on the promise that he was going to make them pay for a border wall, which ended up being a lie. 

During the campaign, he accused the British government of using spies to wiretap his phones under the direction of Obama.

He insulted London's police force after the terrorists attacks and implied the Mayor took terrorism lightly.

He said we should pull our troops out of South Korea, because "that country isn't paying us what they should be paying us".


I know there is much more, but this is the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

1. The world hasn't ended.
2. the DJIA has gone up 5,231 points. Yes, I had to do a double take as well
3. More legislation passed that any prior president
4. Consumer confidence higher than it has been in a long, long time
5. Economy grows at 3%. To put that in perspective, this never happened under Obama his entire term.
6. Newfound respect from foreign leaders for Trump's America first stance.

Personally, with a year this great, my family cannot wait to see what the next 7 years bring.

MAKING AMERICAN GREAT AGAIN

Corrected the above to reflect what it took to retain 20% of his 35% Base.  The monetary factors apparently don't apply to them (e.g. WV, Rust Belt, Mid-Westerners) because if you think about it, the Upper and Upper Middle Class people that didn't vote for him (like yours truly) are the ones benefiting most from a raging DOW that is positively impacting our 401k and housing investments.  In the meantime, the 20% is still in fantasy land thinking the coal mining industry and factories are coming back to their town (since we got all those jobs back from China and Mexico)
