WHO!?!?
He's already been the President for two months. And he isn't even sworn in. Trump has more respect from the international community(That matters) than at anytime during Obama's presidency.
The economy and terrorism tops his agenda. Trump will do a much better job at that than Hillary ever could.
What is a "Presidential Duty"? You mean, like, spreading your cheeks for lobbyists and supporters and giving suck to banksters and criminals?
Trumpligula is probably eminently qualified for that role, but might be somewhat erratic and irascible and need violent restraint if he goes off the reservation too much on psychotic tangents.
I'm looking forward to the first State of the Union address with The Pres in a straight jacket and orange foam crusted around his mouth.
Obama is a pussycat when it comes to fighting ISIS. You need a cold hearted SOB like Trump to savagely fight them. Even Putin did a much better job than Obama
No, he didn't: his only success against ISIS - Palmyra - has been taken back from him (along with shitload of heavy weaponry, including even SAMs).

ISIS has been reduced to a small fighting force. Most of that success came after Putin started attacking them.
How nice of you to show a deceptive chart.
The slow growth is probably what puts us in a good position now.
Reversibility (in a thermodynamic sense) is the way to avoid poisonous side effects like bubbles.

Obama doesn't want to fully destroy ISIS, otherwise it would have been done already.
He needed ISIS because it is one of only force opposing Assad.
Assad was above ISIS in the list of targets. This is about to change.
So plugging in people who are successful in business and actually have accomplishments is worse than plugging in academics, lobbyists and politicians like Obama did?
Policy is not a business. You have to know the players, the rules, and the consequences of actions you take. If you have done only business you have no experience in running a country. This is NOT like managing a checkbook. This is not like managing a team on a project. There are real and often massive consequences for doing it wrong.
Therefore you need specialists. Academics are specialists for a narrow domain. Lobbyists are specialists in the interests of people they defend. Politicians are experts in choosing a policy and communicating with the public.
As far as the conflict of interests are concerned, having lobbyists is certainly no worse than having ex-CEOs deciding rules that affect their ex-companies, or than having a president that has a fortune directly affected by the decisions he takes.
Businessmen get FIRED when they make a bad decision or fail. Politicians get promoted ti the next HIGHER level when that happens.
Ha ha ha. Politicians that screw up get promoted, because now they have experience.
