Anyone else *STILL* hearing/reading "Give Trump a chance" or "He's new at this"?

I'm still encountering it

This shouldn't be a thing. Probationary period is over, it's been over. This is ridiculous.

Is the 2020 thing going to be "Trump 2020, OK we get it, but what else have you got to lose?"

The Trump family engages today in the same criminal enterprises started more than a century ago. I do not care who they are any Trumper is not worth knowing or interacting with.

"All the best people," who are now resigning or have been indicted after investigations of self-dealing, mismanagement, and lying. There has been remarkably high turnover in his Cabinet and administration.

And the Republicans had already shifted the blame for Bush's recession to BHO. He hadn't had a chance to turn to hug Michelle before the right wingers were whining that the economic turnaround wasn't happening fast enough for them.

Eff all of them.

She said he’s a good man but we’re not giving him a chance. That he’s never been in politics before and is still trying to figure it out.

I’m serious.

The whiny, petulant, name-calling tweets are more prevalent than ever. He can't find people to fill hundreds of important positions. He can't say three words without either a teleprompter or bragging on himself or both. He's had two years of a chance, and if anything he's getting worse. Why can't he work with Congress for the benefit of all Americans instead of just the wealthy ones?
