Trumpgrets growing in number August 31, 2017 2:55 pm RL

Sadly, the damage is done, and grows worse every day…

PITTSBURGH — A focus group of Pittsburgh-area voters, conducted Tuesday night by pollster Peter Hart on behalf of Emory University, revealed bipartisan disappointment in the tenor of Trump’s leadership during the first seven months of his presidency.

Asked to describe the president in a single word, participants called Trump “outrageous,” “dishonest,” “disappointing” “narcissistic,” “an abject disappointment,” “unique,” “not ready to be president,” “off the scale,” “crazy,” “unbelievable” and “contemptible.”

Five of the group’s 12 members voted for Trump, and each expressed concern about his failure to dislodge D.C. gridlock — plus his habit of punching down on Twitter.

“What most disappoints me is he’s such an incredibly flawed individual who has articulated so many of the values that I hold dear,” said Tony Sciullo, a Trump voter who now calls the president an “abject disappointment.” Sciullo added, “The messenger is overwhelming the message.”

“As much as I thought he would be a quick learner and delegate to top-notch individuals, he hasn’t done that,” said David Turner, another Trump voter.

“You have a job to do,” said Brian Rush, a Trump voter who said he is holding out hope that the president can turn things around. “No matter what job you have, who you are, people are going to doubt you. Understand that and keep going forward.”

“He’s not even professional, let alone presidential,” added Trump voter Christina Lees, an independent who leans towards the GOP.

“As rescuers continued their exhausting and heartbreaking work in southeastern Texas on Tuesday afternoon, as the rain continued to fall and a reservoir near Houston spilled over, President Trump grabbed a microphone to address hundreds of supporters who had gathered outside a firehouse near Corpus Christi and were chanting: ‘USA! USA! USA!’ ‘Thank you, everybody,” the president said, sporting one of the white ‘USA’ caps that are being sold on his campaign website for $40. ‘I just want to say: We love you. You are special. . . . What a crowd. What a turnout.’”
