Trump does have a polarizing persona, and I can definitely see why some people dislike him, but his policies are fairly logical (to me). I think one of the reasons his administration gives off a perception of being in chaos, is that establishment democrats and republicans beholden to their special interest groups are all hell bent on stopping all of his policies. Just my 2 cents.

Ridiculous. Trump didn't have policies. He had soundbites and dog whistles. He doesn't have a polarizing persona. He is a 2D babbling charlatan hopelessly over his head in the real world of governance and with profound maturity and communication problems let alone a veritable cornucopia of manifest disturbing personality problems.
He is a vile, contemptible, ignorant charlatan whose narcissism made him a perfect front-man for a very dangerous anti-everything-that-isn't-us conservative-backed right-wing fringe movement. He is a simpleton, but some very nasty and calculating people have played an entire election and agenda out of him. It's despicable and trying to whitewash and normalize it is disingenuous.
