Some of my observations Capt are the following: He won't take advice, he won't listen to people who know better on certain issues, (I give every lawmaker the benefit of the doubt that they can't possibly know everything, that is why, despite that I detest lobbyist, some good ones play a part in educating the lawmaker and their staff on importance of issues.) This President looks more at what his base wants to hear, not what is right, compared to any previous President, (that's my opinion, but I sincerely believe that). He is too easily offended by any criticism, very thin skinned, and will do anything to lash out or get back at those that do criticize, just look at Senator Murkowski as a recent example.
One thing I am probably most angry at President Obama about, is when he made fun of Trump at that correspondence dinner back in 2011? The thin skin Trump was so pissed, he decided to run for President and look where we are now. He also would dismantle everything Obama put into place, some could have been justified, like WOTUS, but others like how he handled the Pandemic with cutting staff and his slow reaction to it, if he had taken it more seriously at the beginning, had more testing early, had people self quarantined when they came back from China and more importantly Europe (I believe that is why New York, New Jersey, and Chicago got hit hard, was all the people flying in before the ban took effect), maybe the economy wouldn't have taken such a hit as people panicked, but that is my opinion as well.
When well respected Republicans and military advisors start pointing it out, we need to listen.
