Trump and your expectations

Loving us enough to buy Turnberry and MacLoed for his golfing downtime portfolio, Trump(CF) probably just wants a teensy weensy bit of love in return.

Somebody should sell him on the idea of building a golf course further south. There's a big area just north of Salisbury that might work really well.

He swings for the fences. That's for sure. And in America's history, sometimes that's worked out. I think both friend and foe would like him to STFU at times, but everyone has learned that is not his nature.
I think his fan base appreciates that he communicates with them - a LOT. That was a negative for Biden. If Trump takes a dump and it's a big one, he wants to post about it. If Biden cured cancer, he'd mention it in some dull speech that even Jill wouldn't care about.
As for accomplishments, most Presidents are as good as the people and plans provided to them along with paying debts to those who got him elected. Trump is betting on Elon - because Elon was a winner in the past and bought influence. He's supporting Israel because he has had some major donations there. Project 2025 is moving forward because it is being marketed to him on the basis of benefits - and he trusts the people who created it. "This order will bring about //insert good thought here//, please sign." I think from his team's basis, he's doing great.
Personally, I think Elon is a smart guy - a lucky guy - but as to whether everything he touches turns to gold - I'm not so sure. He's known to be the guy to put it all on the line on one spin of the wheel - ok when you're the one paying for it - but maybe a bit dangerous when a nation and the world are the potential losers. America's founding fathers intended a lot of safeguards. I don't think they knew folks like Trump and Musk - who live their lives pushing boundaries.
ADD: Not wild about his unadulterated affection for tariffs - think that could be the straw that lead to some economic woes - if he isn't willing to back down. His predilection to bash allies - also not a favorite ploy.
It's gonna be an interesting ride - that's for sure.
