What do you mean he's failing?? He's literally saved the lives of 258 MILLION Americans in his first 100 days! If they hadn't voted him in 70% of the US population would be DEAD!
You guys really should bow down and kiss this man's arse (like all the other countries in the world are apparently doing for trade deals). You owe him your life.

May the 4th be with you.
