C'mon man, Trump was elected to the Presidency; that's a crime to some people. Any thing he subsequently does as President is either a crime, evil, illegitimate, or all of the above.

That's not how I feel about it at all.
I doubted the man's character from the beginning, and I did not vote for him in the primary (Rubio) or in the general (write in).
But I saw that his win was an opportunity to cast off some of the old bad stuff of the Republican Party and remake it better than before.
you have to agree that Trump has been given massive power within the party to remake its ideology however he sees fit.
But Trump refuses to value any currency besides loyalty to himself, so he has only used this power to squash Republicans that say anything remotely disloyal about him. And he has no vision for how to actually improve American government so that some of the rhetoric that Republicans have been using for decades actually comes true. So that the average voter will stop looking to the next president to be their savior from whatever political problem they see. He has been nothing more than the mirror image of Obama's last six years on the policy side. Everything that he's done can be undone by the next president.
