While I like Trump and voted for him, about once a week or so he says or posts something that makes me cringe. I still see him as someone capable of shaking up the system and enacting real reforms, but then intermittently he consistently makes impulsive and erratic comments that de-rail the focus on his agenda.
I think the first that bothered me was how he campaigned against Hillary and said she needs to be investigated and subject to the same standard of justice as any other American. Then after the election, he backed off of calls to investigate Hillary. And at the time of the inauguration, he said that Bill and Hillary are "good people"!
In the last week, while I certainly want Obamacare repealed, I was put off by the rush to do so, including a rush by Trump himself. It was creepily similar to the March 2010 passing of Obamacare, where Representatives were expected to vote for the bill without any advance public disclosure of what was actually in the bill. And now just today, Trump had a Twitter post attacking the "Freedom Caucus" (I wish they's just call themselves the conservative/Tea Party caucus) saying that "we have to defeat them and the Democrats in 2018"! Wow, great way to build s coalition to pass it in a second round. First off, the Freedom Caucus were not the only Republicans who wouldn't vote for it. Second, I would only be satisfied with a bill offered in its entirety to the public in advance for review.
I still defend Trump against a lot of unfair attacks. But yeah, there can be no doubt that much of the negative press he brings on himself with his own impulsive and careless remarks.
