A.k.a. "More than half the country still doesn't like him at all and we need to take this as as win as Trump has no wins to speak of."
When you need to take some more people liking him, but still not the majority, as a win you are really reaching. Let's talk instead about the last good thing he did, I'm sure you'd be able to tell me @Ghostpanther (if you didn't have me ignored).

Well, as Trump's peace plan (as much a peace plan as the tax cut help the poor) rolls out to exactly what we expected, I guess it's time for Kushner and Netanyahu to shake hands and agree mission accomplished.
Israeli settler leader: 'Kushner took a knife and put it in Netanyahu's back'
Yeah, that's pretty much what...wait, what?
Jesus fucking Christ Oi vey Sweet babaganouj By the stained trousers of Argus Wow, what the hell? So, the peace plan made nobody happy?An Israeli settler leader and supporter of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused senior White House adviser Jared Kushner of betraying the prime minister by slowing down the annexation of the West Bank.
David Elhayani, the chairman of the Yesha Council that manages more than 150 settlements, condemned Kushner for misleading Netanyahu after he endorsed President Trump’s Middle East peace plan, The Washington Post reported.
“Kushner took a knife and put it in Netanyahu’s back,” he told The Washington Post. “Kushner misled the prime minister. He misled everybody. He knew for a long time that Netanyahu wanted to declare sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea — he said it many times over the last year. Gentlemen just don’t act this way.”
Elhayani continued saying that Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, may cost the prime minister the March 2 election if he pushes back on annexing the settlements right away.
The settler leader said a senior U.S. official told them that if the Palestinians didn’t agree to the plan within 48 hours, Israel would be permitted to annex more than 30 percent of the West Bank.
“But something happened after that; they changed their minds,” he said, according to the Post.
Kushner has told reporters, and allegedly Israeli officials, that the annexation should wait until after the election and a new government is formed, the Post reported.
Look, we all know Trump has the diplomatic skill of that frozen burrito that I thought would be okay in my freezing car overnight (spoiler alert: I have a car cleaning appointment for Thursday at 3) but I was pretty sure he'd go all-in on "Israel gets everything, ???, profit". But this? This goes below what minimal bar Trump set. The Palestinians are angry, the Arab League called it useless, and now Israel's upset too? I know less about Middle East politics than I do about the thawing temperature of burritos, but even I could have made a plan that made one country happy.
Well, guess that's another thing you won't hear at the SotU tonight.

So Fox News intentionally edited out embarrassing material for Trump from one of their early interviews.During Donald Trump’s presidential transition in December 2016, “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace snagged a ride-along with the president-elect to the Army-Navy game, as well as a wide-ranging interview. The tete-a-tete came off as a typical Wallace enterprise: He asked tough questions about Russian election interference, the roles of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner in Trump’s administration, the president-elect’s views on climate and so on.
There appears to have been another hot topic on Wallace’s list. By the time the interview rolled around, there was a good bit of reporting about the rot in the transition operation. As CNN’s Jake Tapper and Eric Bradner reported several days before, the Trump transition team had requested security clearance for Michael Flynn Jr., son of soon-to-be-short-term national security adviser Michael Flynn. The younger Flynn had actively promoted the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory, which suggested that Democratic operatives were connected to a pedophilia ring located at a D.C. restaurant. An armed man was inspired by the bizarre scenario to visit the place, ostensibly to investigate matters for himself: He ultimately fired three shots inside the restaurant after patrons and staff evacuated it.
Recently released documents show that Stephen K. Bannon, then a top Trump adviser, said in an interview with the office of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III that Trump drew a blank on the Flynn Jr. situation when Wallace asked him about it. Yet that moment didn’t show up in the Wallace-Trump interview. “It was embarrassing for Trump, and Fox agreed to cut out that part of the interview," reads the interview document.
Which is ironic if you remember this dust-up with conservative media -

And because awards are now totally meaningless and have reached the, "participation trophy" leve, Trump wants to give Rush Limbaugh a Medal of Freedom.
Once upon a time, presidential awards and pardons were things of considerable impact, influence, and weight. Now, they're casual favors you do for a guy who spent his lifetime being a vile, repulsive, hateful human being towards others. Because I guess since he has cancer we're all supposed to forget about this long and sordid history or something.
Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh. You touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.

So, Trump says he'll give Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Apparently all you need to do to get one is suck Trump off.
This guy has to have dementia right?

The opposition really needs to run these ads. Maybe a little less cruel, but definitely attack his mental faculties. I never try to do the crazy conspiracy theory crap, but Trump clearly is not there. Again, look at his speech and interviews in early 2000's.
Plus the Republicans would run this shit. Hillary Clinton? Enough of 'when they go high, we go low". Time to sling dirt, but in this case actually this case, likely the truth.
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!
Congrats Republicans, the President of the United States of America is now less trusted to do the right thing than god-damned Vladimir Putin.

that cant be right, Trump just said the world respects the US more than ever.

I did see his approval rating at its highest. Again, if economy stays what is they will use that to vote for him. Yes, there are cracks in the economy but obviously the Trumpkins think its the greatest ever.
Sort of amazing that all we went thru with impeachment people can say "hey is doing well", but here we are. Scary.
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!
Based purely on what he accused Clinton of, a concussion or a stroke.
Think back to the symptoms Trump called out about Clinton.
Look at Trump.
Trump is saying he, himself, has TBI or a stroke. Or, you know, he's a lying hypocrite.
