Try to remain calm Steve.

In the US, the transition issue and the men-in-women's-sports-issue are packaged, and are 80-20 issues...per my understanding.
Though the top issues were Border, economy and abortion, the most effective Trump advert in the campaign focused sharply on that issue.

When you and people who share your disdain for Trump calculate your reasons why everyone else should hate him too, you are ignoring how most Americans and people around the planet feel about issues such as these. It is what it is.

Steve,
I'm a border issue guy. I'd vote for Trump again for that reason alone. All of your objections are a lesser priority to me.

Trump was elected and won decisively. Not a landslide, but decisive. Fact of life.
I've said all that I know about Trump and the tariffs.
No one from the govt calls me and asks me what to do about anything.
Rather than argue this on and on, it's time to sit back and watch it play out.

If you and Rob and Steve want to have an unending argument about Trump...maybe Dom will pick up from here.

Have a good Sunday,

Marty
