Firstly I want to thank you for a well thought out and thorough response. You didn't just "nuh uh" , but you provided a structured argument with supporting facts and examples. You avoided personal attacks and logical fallacies and stuck to the point. I really commend you. This is rare on these types of sites.

I think you're point of view is also valid. However I also think a lot of the basis is from the onslaught of exaggerated media attacks. That doesn't mean that you're examples are wrong at all, just a bit exaggerated and coalesced into a conclusion that comes from bias. That said where you are coming from is sufficiently valid that it could just as easily be my own biases and distain for modern journalism that leads to me being overly skeptical. I think the pattern of attack from the media is obvious here, but I could be chicken and egging this where their pattern is inspired by truths and not as exaggerated as I feel.

I do think you're right about him being a bit blasé about his position. I also think he's a textbook narcissist who looks only out for himself and would sellout the entire country if he believed it would benefit him. However I also think his reputation and legacy is important to him, and I think that's about the only thing that really keeps him from being the evil the left views him as.

I think the examples you've chosen are for the most part just as true with the other president's we've had this side of the millenia excepting maybe Obama.

The fast food and cable news thing is definitely weird, but cable news is how the people are informed. I think it's a decent way to get a gage of what the American people are experiencing and going through, and I by no means fault him for his personal food preferences, no matter how much they wouldn't suit me.

Also I think that with a lot of those, didn't happen examples, they really didn't, at least not the way they are perceived. Again the stories are so exaggerated they may as well be false. Though I will say his "didn't happen" is really more of the same, because they kinda did. It's like the story with poison in Halloween candy. It didn't happen, except that one time where a father did it to his own children. So it did happen, but not to the extent that strangers are poisoning children. When you say it didn't happen you sort of devalue the fact it COULD happen and it also sort of happened. The Muslim ban would be one of my best examples from your list because it didn't happen at all the way public perception of it did, but it also didn't not happen. Russiagate would be another great example here. Russia did meddle in the election, but there was no real collusion to the extent they painted it as.

But overall our economy and our foreign relations improved under him. The foreign policy one is a particularly funny one, because they hated him but he was good at making deals and agreements. Definitely not my preferred method of diplomacy, but it appeared to work to me at least.

I don't know again your perspective seems to be more common among the more rational people who aren't right wing. I'm moderate, but not necessarily a centrist but this does come from an effort to hear both sides out.

Also conspiracy theory-wise, I still believe he was put up to running by the Clintons who were upset that Obama beat Hillary. I think the Clintons knew they could pressure the DNC enough to ensure her nomination and were hoping Trump would split the Republicans. But I think Trump very quickly got away from them because of his narcissism. I think he couldn't resist taking it as far as he could. I think that's why he really wasn't prepared or expecting to be president. I don't think he thought there was a real chance until suddenly there was. I think it took him over a year to even realize what he wanted out of being president in the first place.

I think he's going to win this next election at this point almost for certain and to be honest I am worried about the result of which. I think vengeance and spite is very much part of his agenda. But I think he could be pacified and encouraged to try to act well, and better than his first bout if we give him an opportunity to actually create a legacy. But then again, that's me working my form of diplomacy which is the exact opposite of his. I also though have two narcissist parents and am reasonably used to dealing with similar behavior to his.

I don't think the big mouth bass thing is very accurate at all. He's more like a parrot who can't stop tweeting and squawking. But I think the perception most people have of him isn't realistic at all, and to me indicates a lack of understanding of human nature even for as bizzare as he might be.
