There is no way that I would ever endorse Donald Trump for any political office. Having said that, maybe having Trump as the President of the United States is a good thing. I say this while at the same time hoping he doesn't destroy the world. People can now see his true behavior and how he lies and uses deception to make others look bad.  His failed health-care bill; his golf games; his time on vacations in Florida and elsewhere; his manipulation of trade to benefit his own businesses; his treatment of women, even women leaders around the world; his fake news; - it would be comical if it weren't so scary. He surely can't make himself look any worse.  These first few months in office show us just how much of a narcissist and egotist he is, and how much better it would be if we actually had someone in office who knew how to be diplomatic and courteous, someone who was a master of the art of the compomise.

Maybe it is a good thing that he is President because his policies could bring together the Republicans and the Democrats and even the Independents to work against his plans; and bring diplomacy, decency, and leadership back to the U.S. This could make us get more involved in the voting process, and more knowledgeable about who is running the country and what they have in mind for it and us.

It seems to be working to some extent; several Republicans joined the Democrats in not supporting the new health care bill.  We have also caught a glimpse of what the leaders and inhabitants of other countries think of our President. Don't you think Putin is laughing at Trump behind his back? What about French President Macron? Does he seem comfortable with Trump? And the U.S. cabinet appointments - are they leaders in their fields?

Maybe this farce of a presidency will actually result in making Congress work together to get us out of this hole into which we are currently sinking. The United States could be stronger for it.
