Trump was his own worst enemy. His overinflated ego prevented him from doing what he was elected to do. He should have kept his mouth shut and cut off his Twitter finger.
I have to disagree. None of the words that 45 tweeted were barriers to him effecting his policy goals. They may have been grandoise, bombastic, egotistical, etc, but not a single tweet was anything other than abrasive, mildly offensive and generallly true if not inelloquent.
HOWEVER, what did truly serve as an impediment to him marching forward with his policy goals was the swell of opposition to him personally by the left. It started with the "not my president" campaign and ended with two failed attepts at removal from office, purely for petty theatrical/poitical reasons.
And yet he still somehow managed to drive inflation down, drive unemployment to historically low numbers, improve the lives and wellbeing of millions of minoroties, make tangible progress securing the border, get our allies to pay their share of international obligations, negotiate a pretty major peace accord in the middle east, and make the U.S. energy independant so we didn't have to go grovelling to the Saudis to pump more black gold.
Imagine how successful we all could be right now if the left had gotten over their juvenile hissy fit and recognized the historic opportunity to actually get some real stuff done by a POTUS who wanted check-marks next to solutions, not platitudes and endless problems for political gain...
