Politics is a crappy business, the difference with Trump, IMO, is he is the same guy behind closed doors as he is in public
So you prefer someone that you know is an ***hole all the time. This doesn't make sense. Ford, Reagan, Bush, Carter, Clinton, Bush, and Obama.....all of them were the same at home as they were at the office. Last POTUS we had that was two faced was Tricky Dick.

I prefer straight shooters that just tell like it like it is.
You're saying this about a man who can't utter one single word without lying. You understand that, right?

I’ve sat at a board room table with Team Trump....they are great negotiators that know their facts, but when you challenge them without confrontation, with specific expertise, they have proven respectful.
Trump literally has fewer facts at his disposal than any POTUS we've ever had.
And he has proven to be unable to negotiate anything with anyone. He's the worst negotiator we've had in office...with Republican Congress at his beck and call he couldn't build his wall, repeal and replace, or sign immigration reform. All three of his main election planks. Total fail.
He's also failed to negotiate with Putin, Kim, Iran, and most of all, China.
So I'm left asking: who the heck are you talking about as "great negotiator"?

For now, he’s trying new tactics to move the needle
I'm more than curious as to what you think what these new tactics are.
You're buying the Trump mythology, and ignoring the scoreboard, just like he likes it. It's like FoxNation with the "Trump's not an insider". Ummmm: he's done skits with the mayor of New York, and had Bill and Hillary at his wedding. You think "regular ol' guys" do that?
Or "he's not a politician". Ummm: he's President of the United States. The top of the heap of politicians. There is no bigger politician.
If Trump did what he and you are claiming? I'd be a supporter. I'd LOVE repeal and replace of a better system than Obama. I'd LOVE immigration reform fixed and signed. I'd LOVE for him to drain the swamp. I'd even be fine with his stupid wall.
I'd also be overjoyed if he was a great negotiator. Deals with Iran, China, and N Korea would make my day. Again, he's done NONE of these things.
I'm left asking you: what are you talking about, my friend?
