Then you haven't been listening to people who know something about governance. There are innumerable policy-related reasons why the man is not a good President. He has appointed people to his cabinet who are anything from completely ignorant of the departments they are tasked with leading to downright destructive of the departments they are leading. The worst appointment has been Betsy DeVos, who, if left to her own preferences, would ramp up support of private education and drive the final nails in the coffin of public education. You want to Make America Disintegrate (not again), just send public education down the tubes. He has championed a tax cut which is precisely the wrong policy in an environment of steady growth, because it leaves no wiggle room when the eventual inevitable economic downturn arrives. He has championed the cause of deteriorating industries, coal chief among them, when the proper policy is to let them run their course. IF gas supplies eventually dwindle and renewables can't pick up the slack, coal can come back on its own merits; otherwise, let it to its devices. He and his family are in the process of destroying the entire concept of conflict-of-interest avoidance in the Federal government, and as far as I am aware, the nepotism he has insisted upon has yet to bear any useful fruit. Have Ivanka, Jared, et. al. made ANY significant contribution to government policy whatsoever, other than pulling together questionable meetings with Russian representatives in which the BEST claim that can be made about them is that they discussed nothing relevant to anything? He has gone about dismantling the Affordable Care Act piece by piece while having absolutely no clue about what to install in its place (though he said in January 2017 he was putting the finishing touches on a great replacement program -- remember that? So where is the program?). He is in the process of dismantling our most productive international alliances over the past century while kowtowing to the leaders of our most problematic adversaries, because somehow in the space of a few hours he can figure out that they are sincerely willing to work with the U.S. in a way that is beneficial to our interests. Riiiiiiight. He has taken the initiative to start trade wars around the globe, which, beyond their immediate damage to our alliances, will eventually help produce the economic downturn I mentioned earlier.
Yes, I do not like the President because he is a crude, juvenile man who I would not want around my grandchildren, never mind being a role model for them.
But there is SO much more to it than that.

Public education is already circling the bowl. It's an absolute mess. There is no constitutional standard for a Dept of Ed anyway. The whole thing should be abolished.
And he's turned the country from the course of becoming socialist.
As for everything else - time will tell. And I think many will have to eat their words... or just continue to spout lies and decry his crudeness.

No I didn't. Undermining alliances is NOT just a matter of attitude, it's a matter of international diplomacy and support against foreign adversaries. The ruination of conflict of interest gets to the heart of graft and special-interest government -- it isn't a matter of attitude. Playing games with the health care system with no clue of an alternative approach isn't a matter of attitude, it's a matter of policy ignorance. Starting trade wars isn't a matter of attitude, it's a matter of how one deals with the reality of World markets. I stopped where I did because my post was too long as it was, but I could have gone on for awhile longer.
Really, it is Trump supporters that parrot the same old lines, not the detractors.

It's about time someone told the globalists to go pound sand. Games with the Healthcare system? I won't even tell you what Obozocare did to my company plan, but what does the left care anyway?

No more than I'll ever change my opinion on Obama. Of course I did not like him based off policy, but was called a racist and told I didn't like him because he was black by leftists , becase you know. ......everything is racist or sexist today.
