Things Trump does that you disagree with

I don't disagree with him on too many things, the one that's on my mind right now is his need to name everything after himself. Like that new prescription plan. I like it on one hand because it drives the progs wild and makes them act out in highly amusing ways, and I also like it that his people don't come up with these ridiculous misleading names for things - "Affordable Care Act" for example.

I get that Trump's an egomaniac and I'm okay with that - most great leaders are and probably deserve to be. And I get that he has branded himself. But TrumpRX is a bridge too far, IMO. I also don't love him branding all kinds of products while he's President - watches and what have you - but those are memorabilia and if someone wants a Trump watch that's fine. But prescription drugs..... Yeah, I'm not loving that branding.

He sounds very juvenile when he resorts to name calling. Sometimes it is funny but it is very unprofessional. He also repeats himself a lot. He adlibs a lot which in some cases doesn't work well. He tends to go on and on.

On a positive note: where the last -ahem- president was hid away from the world and couldn't make a speech without sounding like the inept imbecile he is; Trump is out there constantly communicating. listening and aware of everything going on in the country and the world. He has his finger on the pulse of what's happening.

Actually, I don’t mind the Trump RX stuff or naming the big beautiful bill or some of the other ego driven stuff.

Where I think he really needs to change is the propensity he has for going on and on and on and on during a speech.

his addresses need to be short and sweet.

What was that old saying? Always leave them begging for more.

One of my biggest issues is that Trump can't turn off the business man instincts. It's cool when he's negotiating for the country, less so when he recognizes an opportunity to make a buck and dives in. And super not cool when he manipulates the financial markets. I have already cashed in a couple of times after recognizing the pattern. Trump threatens to regulate/tariff/directly compete with a product/company/industry and the stock market reacts. If he says he's going to add 100% tariffs to China and the S&P drops 3%, buy some out of the money calls for next week because they will print when he backtracks.

If the family wants to sell stuff, I get it. But his voice should not be hawking it.

If it wasn't his voice and him being transparent the Democrats would try to say he's sneaking around....JUST LIKE HITLER!!! So if he's going to hawk merch, best to be right there with it.

I hate when he blames Biden for crap that is Biden's fault. He should just accept blame when people try to blame him for stuff. I mean, like, whatever happened to the Buck stops here? Biden is sick with cancer, and you're going to blame him for stuff he did when he was president? That kind of nasty rhetoric is going to get someone hurt some day.

Nothing really, a little rough and gruff, a lot talkative, but a true display of love for our nation that wipes all that out.

I hear and read that some say Trump is "not Presidential" or "unprofessional" and I wonder what the Hell that is. We've had 45 different Presidents that we truly know very little about. It has only been the last 13 or so that we have had a glimpse as to who and what they are as "people". A lot of them I would say are despicable human beings. To me he is more of a splinter than any real harm.

Bugs the crap out of me. Go with "America First" or something like that. When they put the word "Affordable" into the care act, it was a farce, nothing afford about it. Whenever they have to put a word like that into a title or new program, I cridge. It usually means the exact opposite.
