I predicted the Trump win a few months out. Once he survived the " grab em by the p " comment I reckoned it became really possible. It also helped that many Americans really hated Hillary.

About a year or two into his presidency I made the comment that it will be about Trump's legacy that we should judge him. With all the fake news about it is hard to know the real truth.
We have seem the stuff that comes out of Trump's mouth and out of his twitter account and it is truly un-presidential. That's not fake.That's for real.
Just today I saw a clip of where he said that there was a vaccine for Aids. There isn't......

That said, despite his boofhead behaviour, it is about what he can achieve. We saw some seemingly positive signs with NK and their weapons. Unfortunately, it seems the wheels have fallen off that deal and Trump is strangely gone quiet on that.
There have been various other claims by Trump about his successes that are just rubbish. He's pretty quick to take credit for the work of others.

I think the real proof has been his handling of Covid. You can't fake that. Fighting in public with state governors, now having public rallies while Covid is still rising in many states. The numbers aren't looking too good.
