Help me out here. Is trump somehow better than Obama? I just see plans for bigger spending and more war (even than Obama!) so far.

He nominated a judge for the SC who might possibly be decent. He's also been really entertaining. That's about all the good things so far.

Yes. Much better. He made a number of outstanding cabinet picks, rolled back some regulations, and appointed Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Obama was awful.

So far Trump has wildly exceeded my expectations. His budget director was one of the most fiscally conservative members of Congress. We'll see what happens with spending. So far, so good.

You tried to make it relevant by suggesting that Ron Paul's greater criticism of Trump than Obama was the result of not being in office during Trump's presidency, which obviously isn't the right explanation.

Lol? I didn't bring up Ron Paul.
