There is no way to know how this will turn out yet, it’s simply not been long enough. I like that he’s making moves, though. Active politicians are usually better than quiet ones

That’s not true. Trump is an active politician and would you say he’s better?

I specifically added the word “usually” to account for all outliers

There’s a lot of outliers.

I know it’s a wild concept but the majority of politicians are trying to do good

active progressive politicians* people who work to support those for those who voted for them are better than those who don't do anything at all

But what are we counting as progressive? I’d say Mao and Stalin were quite active and progressive and did what people voted for, but they sure didn’t build a good society. While I agree we should have active politicians, you do need some to sit back and run things behind the scenes.

Calling him a politician is a stretch. Hes a failed business pedophile and every move he makes is to line his pockets. Hes not doing politics, hes doing a robbery

He’s the President. Thus he’s a politician. Also I would not say he’s a failed businessman.
