What does being “presidential” mean? It suggests that the person in the White House is an appealing orator, is a conservative dresser, is respectful and empathetic ... and represents America well to the rest of the world. Barack Obama was very presidential but a piss-poor president. Whereas, Donald Trump is hardly presidential but one of the best presidents we’ve had in our lifetimes.

Obama. Define “piss-poor”. Define “best”.
Presidential = Not being a lying cheater, not firing everyone who disagrees, not anointing one's children to positions they are unqualified for, not extorting foreign leaders for personal gain, not disrespecting military advice as Commander, not being an embarrassment on the world stage. Someone who reads, who does not proclaim himself a genius who knows more than (fill-in the blank), someone who doesn't remind you of a would-be dictator, someone who will show you his taxes to demonstrate that he is not a fraud.
That kind of leader.
Compare him to Obama’s Piss Poor Presidency. He looks pretty good to me.
Most of your negatives are of the man and not what he has done to make our country better. That was the whole point of this blog. Ok, he disrespects people who cross him or who try to subvert his policies. I’m OK with that because I agree with most things he is doing ... and I am willing to tolerate his trespasses because of his policy results. He is the president after all ... so he gets to decide. Read the new Obama blog and thank God he only had 8 years to screw things up. Crooked Hillary would have taken us over the edge.
Your unwavering support of Trump came to mind when I saw the Godfather wedding scene where the women, children, and servants are all joyous in their luxurious possessions and experiences, willing to overlook the ethics of the business and behaviors of the dons that do whatever it takes to make their lifestyle possible.
Why is it that liberals cannot imagine people approving of what Trump is doing without praising his personality? And to suggest that he is equivalent to a mafia don is just plain silly.
Many Germans in the 1930's thought the same way. "Hey, at least the trains are running on time!"
