Start with his appointment of David Bernhardt as Secretary of the Interior which is ripping you and me as public land owners off.
I hate thieves.
There are more with most of his appointments serving special interest over the American People.
("I only hire the best people")
but the main thing that galls me is the similarity of the operation of the White House and a Gilligan's Island rerun. In fact I think Trump himself could just be a metaphor for the cast of Gilligan's Island. Certainly you can see them in the Trump white house: Jared, Donald, Mnuchin and DeVos, KellyAnne and Sarah, Scott Pruit.
We all know what Gilligan's Island was a metaphor for.

Bernhardt went from being an oil and gas company lobbyist to Deputy Secretary of the Interior to Secretary of the Interior. Trump has applied the same Fox in the hen house tactics to other departments as well. DeVos for education, Pruit at the EPA, Perry at the department of Energy and Pompeo as the Secretary of state. Looks like they are trying to destroy these departments. While I am for stemming over-regulation I am not for gutting the governments ability to perform these functions. It is catching other departments are beginning to cease functioning as well.
Example NICS: anyone else with common names not getting approved or denied in purchasing weapons - just sets in limbo - that did not happen under Bush or Obama. It is fine because you can still purchase from small shops and pick up after a few days but you cannot take advantage of the sales offered by the large retailers because they will not move without approve.
The executive functions of the government were somewhat ineffective before now they are just broken.

We need to create a secretary of hurt feelings.

Please do not bother, it is not worth watching.

As bad as Trumps picks have been. I will take his people any day over the buffoonery of barry or hildebeest. Barry was feckless. Hildebeest was/is a thief. Any lifelong politician who uses public service to accumulate wealth is the problem. Never knew public service paid so well.
Barry is worth 30x what he was before he left office. Google it. Those books must sell at 100K a piece

100% correct.
THIS is true problem. Money money money. We should not allow this. They’re selling influence to the highest bidder.

Wasn't one of Donald's campaign promises to eliminate the national debt in 8 years?
Now there's some real crickets on that one.... He's deficit spending as fast as ever. Record military spending in 2020, and adding a trillion (+) to the debt every year. Republicans are silent on it and the hypocrisy should be deafening to logical folks. The very thing that they railed Obama on, and not a peep! Fiscal conservatism is dead, and that my friends, is probably the biggest threat to our future.
Trump has done some good things and sections of the economy/country are doing very well, but he sure hasn't won my vote in 2020. I don't believe that we deserve a leader with poor character. Sure, we've had them in the past, but that doesn't mean that I have to compromise what I believe. Trump admin policies have also taken a lot of money out of my pocket and have hurt my local area. I understand that this isn't widespread, but I don't think many people would vote for something that threatens their livelihood.

I don't recall that promise eliminating debt?? Regardless, even if he brought out a plan tomorrow suggesting steps to attacking the problem, it would be met with more resistance than the wall. The national debt is a big problem but I don't see how any potus now or in our future can tackle this issue unless the law makers are on board & both sides in the house & senate don't care & They sure aren't going to cut the heavy funded areas where the $$$ needs to come from. I would like to hear what Don could do in regards to debt reduction the congress would agree to...their whole agenda at this point is to resist / counter anything & everything he suggests, wants or stands for. If there was a desire to tackle the debt from the house or senate, you very well know he would support action to do so & that is a fairytale. Reducing spending by elected officials is only supported by a minute few.
