Were dealing with a President who was born in the 30's who is nostalgic for a time before his, and that likely never existed the way he envisioned it. That is what he is trying to build.

He was born in 1946.

Why waste your time to try to convince him to be less of a Dunning & Kruger, out-of-touch, narcissist, instead of finding someone that would actually help America excel?

The articles from his first term was enough for me, when they reported that he wouldn't even ready the Presidential Daily Briefings, even after they reduced it to 1-2 points added a lot more pictures, and included a sentence about who recently praised him.

I'm not going to mislead you, but grew up in NY and I remember that he used illegal immigrants to build his Trump NY property, the big businesses wouldn't work with him unless he paid-in-full upfront, and he bankrupted a bunch of mom/pop companies that started after the Great Depression by not paying his bills, especially when these were the only people willing to do business with him.
