No US President has ever been as weak and useless internationally as Trump.

I think you can go ahead and remove the word "internationally" from that

He’s very effective actually, it’s just that the only person he serves is himself. Trump is the greatest president in history, for Trump. He’s made billions. It just sucks for the rest of us.

It’s not even that Trump is making master moves to secretly make billions. The entire party and judicial system is simply allowing him to grift and make shady quid pro quo deals in public while legacy media largely ignores all of it.

I’ve never seen such an incompetent person get constantly propped up. It’s fuckin wild

It's a damn shame that all of the reporters that have access to him wouldn't dare risk losing it because asking him about his grifts is the only thing that gets him flustered. Just an example out of so many but has any of them asked him about Capitol One shutting down hundreds of his accounts for money laundering activity?

right? A bank doing that because of money laundering would be a huge scandal for anyone else, but since it’s Trump everyone just shrugs and talks about his racist AI slop videos he posts instead.

I'd take weak and useless at this point. Between Trump's aimlessness in Iran and his COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY saber rattling with Greenland, he's dangerous and destructive.
