But you have admit, Hollo, "worse" IS different. So Bfine has a point.

Once you see the equivalence, then you can say that botching an executive order by ignoring the constitution and protocol is a different style.  So it is Trump's style that all these liberals are criticizing when they point out that the State Dept. will no longer be able to function under his proposed budget cuts, or that he is "shaking up Washington" when he falsely accuses the previous president of a felony.

Many of the points you make above aren't really points to Trump supporters. If they get their conspiracy news from Breitbart and Infowars, then it is hardly a knock against the Commander-in-chief that he prefers those sources to professional intelligence services and their boring, carefully vetted, analyzed and cross-examined intel product.  Why would foreign policy and spec ops be any different or any worse if based on Breitbart? And even if it is worse, how does that affect us at home?

Trump supporters like Trump's entrepreneur daughter. Now they think you don't. And they don't care if she sits in on high level talks with world leaders, and they don't care if he insults those leaders. He is letting them know that America is first now.

Instead of treating allies and trading partners who deal fairly with us as equals--LET'S STAND UP TO THEM! Let them know that American is not messing around. We mean business. The world is on notice. (This includes you, Austria! We see you there hiding behind the Swiss Alps!)  If our Allies and partners don't like that, there is nothing they can do about it.

It is great that Trump has all these business interests. That means he knows how to cut a deal and pick the right team to get the job done. If only the press would get off his back, he would get more done.
