He simply refused to learn the value of discretion. I supported him mainly because he fought back against the leftwing establishment of the MSM in bed with the democrats. The people who are supposed to be the arbiters of truth must not openly support one side. But they do and Trump's time in office forced them to fully expose themselves. Fortunately in that process they have stripped themselves of the ability to shape the narrative as they have in years past. They will never be trusted again.

Now the dems have a battle ahead of keeping the interest of their voter base. I don't see that happening because they channeled anti-Trump motivation to win this election, not support for their platform. I predict the midterm elections will be productive for Republicans, especially if Biden fails to contain the leftwing of his party.

I think Trumps personality really suited the radical outsider campaign he ran the first time. He wasnt part of the Washington system and was going to clean it up. It's hard to have that personality when your the actual President. I think people see the role of President as something you rise to as oppose to mould to fit you. 

Trump also had this incredible ability to survive issues that would take others down. That video before the last election would have killed most candidates but Trump was untouched. I feel he enjoyed that and the MSM would run around screaming but it meant he never really had to reach across or compromise.

I certainly agree about MSM, the news has gone from reporting a story to reporting it to give you an opinion. Big difference.
