Higher Learning: On a scale of 1 to 5, rate Trump's first year in office

[Jesus]

i voted 3 because obama got the economy out of bush's recession, and trump has not only kept that going but improved it a little. anyone voting 0 and 1 because of his stupid tweets and "good people on both sides" is lying to themselves

again, hes said and done some awful shyt but gimme a fukkin break

I used to think people calling you a Trump dikkrider just as some liberal pussies, but they were right....

The racist and insensitive things alone should give him a 0.

Have rumors about you and hookers...imagine if Obama has this shyt over his head.

The fakkit spends more time golfing and tweeting than doing real shyt...

 

[Broke Wave]

Without a shadow of a doubt the worst presidency post war. And even prior to that you’d need to pick up the genocidal maniacs and outright corrupt folks

 

[jj23]

of course

dudes are posting 0s in here, and thats cool. but the left told us that by now the economy would be crashed and we'd be in a nuclear war. how could it be a 0 when the stock market is the highest its ever been and unemployment is this low? thats just emotional bullshyt

like i said, this next year is a whole new ballgame. but if last year was a 0, what was the last year of obama? a .5?

Why would Obama’s last year be a .5? The GOP had him hamstrung in a lame duck year, so how do you try to lay that solely at his feet? Whatever Trump claims, presidents aren’t dictators.

The economy continued to grow without giving concessions to the 1% and despite the regulations and protections businesses complain about. Trump is rolling all that back but the damage won’t be seen until maybe the 3rd year of his presidency...if he lasts that long. America is sacrificing its citizens for companies and because the stock market is still high you act like that’s ok?

 

[nyknick]

i'll give it a 3

he coasted on obama's wave, didnt accomplish anything until the tax cut at the end of december, and generally acted like a raging dikkhead. a bunch of terrible moments and comments, but nothing in the country changed significantly

THIS year, is about to be the first year of the trump presidency "effect"

So when you disregard racism and myriad of degenerate behavior you would give Fox and Friends 3 out of 5


Seriously where do you rank Fox and Friends as a TV show on a scale of 1 to 5?

The only major accomplishments I will give Trump credit for in 2017 is

1. avoiding impeachment.

2. He also managed to draw out more racist Americans who were hiding in the shadows.

3. Set democrats up to take back the house and senate.

Thinking about it a 3 is not outrageous but it's also not correct. A President gets a 3 just for keeping the status quo. He's actually done that. He gets a point off for just being such a terrible person (racist) and bringing down the prestige of the country. That's not to say the world didn't already look down on us, it's just acceptable to do so now and there are no consequences.

In my opinion to get a 1 or 0 your fukk ups have to have a wide reaching detrimental effect(s) on various demographics. That hasn't happened yet. We are still in the potential stage. It's too early to tell what his first year will bring as far as that's concerned. Most of what he's done has made him, the GOP and his base look like idiots. He's good at shooting himself in the foot but I'm not going to shave extra points off for that. That goes into the 1 point he lost for being a piece of shyt.

Trump is definitely headed for 0 territory this year in some manner or another. He's just not there yet. You don't say the plane has crashed until it's a flaming mass of rubble and flesh no matter how hopeless the tailspin.

Be patient, we'll be able to write our post mortem soon.

Might as well give him a 0 because the consequences are coming fast.

His biggest legislative win is the tax bill. Which is still subject to legal challenges and loop holes. Net neutrality is still subject to legal challenges. Nothing that he has done in this first year has had any effect on the day to day life of the average American. Increased fukkery notwithstanding.

There's a number of things that will have an impact down the line like putting dikk Dulvaney as the head of a consumer protections agency that he has tried to defund or defang for several years but given that anything this sideshow implements will be subject to a legal challenge the detrimental effects may be "blunted."

It may seem retarded to give Trump anything above a 0 but it's retarded to rate a President on a 1-5 scale anyway. Too much goes into the job/office. But if we must I will rate him on what he has done that has had an IMMEDIATE impact on the country not what is coming down the line this year. He hasn't done enough damage to be 1 or 0 YET.

Yes but we are going first year. I need to see how much of his/GOP garbage is going to be implemented in it's raw, proposed form before I take him from 2 to 1. It's coming. Just not there yet.

Those issues have been bubbling over long before Trump got into office. He just bumped into it and the lid fell off the pot. Now does he plan to toss the contents all over the floor? Yes he does. But we are just rating his first year. On a 1-5 scale he has not done enough damage to the country to rate below a 2. He's ripped off the bandages and let us know where he plans to pour the salt but a specific question was asked. We're not looking into the future. We are judging year one. A year in which he and his party failed, A LOT. Buuuuuut, Government failure isn't anything new under Trump. It will be THIS year where we will see new lows.

Like everyone else a 1 since 0 isn't an option.

More daily than any politician or celebrity I can remember in my lifetime. Can't wait for those cheeseburgers to catch up with him.

Republicans handed the keys to corporate america and let them take whatever they wanted.

• Lower taxes but don't cut spending because they're not willing to tell broke white voters "you don't get all those free goodies anymore".
• Deregulate everything so now they can dump poisons, shyt and piss in our water.
  
• In general, put people in place who hate government oversight in charge of those industries. No protections from predatory lending, fake Trump-like universities, etc.
• Just fukk up running the government in general because their dumbass base thinks "gub'mint is stoopid cause Reagan said so."
• Royally fukked up US prestige and our international presence. Literally cutting our state department representation around the world. Tehse are the guys who form the relationships and foundations for espionage we use to keep an eye on what's up.

I'm about 90% sure now that Trump is being blackmailed. Everything he's doing explicitly looks like Putin is telling him to do the most destructive things to our democracy; from that ittle tidbit we got about Putin broadcasting to him to shyt on the election results if he lost to sabotaging our own international foothold.
