So does its matter that he says he is proud of the testing. That it's the right thing to do. Does it matter that his jokes are meant to get across an important point, to bring attention to good things he has done that his opponents try to obscure, deny, or lie about. Does it matter that he busts his but to try to keep his promises, unlike what many nice talking, politically correct politicians who talk to get elected, but somehow don't get around to walking the talk.

OK, I realize that you don't think that he has done any good. That any good accomplished has been done by someone else. That Trump is a total failure. And worse, that he is responsible for the bad stuff. That he is a destructor, and is bringing the country down. And that he is, overall, a bad person.

It is amazing to me how some of the worst personal reprobates that have populated our political class who were bigger liars and more corrupt and destructive than Trump but who did less, were praised to the hilt for the little good they did, and were excused or overlooked for the important stuff they promised but somehow, even with solid media approval, corporate backing, and popular admiration, never got around to doing.

But they sure could say the "right" things--very articulately and with style.
