This is the putz who has destroyed the Washington Post.
Credit is due nowhere. Zero credit zero where.
This is “more mature, more disciplined”?
Pants engulfed in flames.
Sure you do

“Good ideas” — Examples please?

“Credit where credit is due”. Translation: “I’ve found ways to profit handsomely from his rule. (Also, have you seen my totally hot wife? I’m a true alpha!)”

“I think he’s a more mature, more disciplined version of himself […]”
This is the kind of comment I would expect about a child, not a man in his seventies.

He evidently doesn’t know what “mature” or “disciplined” mean. Those words do not apply to DJT.

Even the rare (usually trivial) policy decision that I might have agreed with in theory has been mishandled by this blithering idiot. Case in point–removing the penny from our system. Really, it’s time for that particular coin to go; it is a (minor) waste of money, and does nothing particularly useful.
But to get rid of it, you also need to go back and revise a lot of things, first (most notably, sales and excise taxes, replacing them with a Euro-style VAT so that prices can be easily set at the most appropriate nickel or even dime value).
Instead, we’ve got stores opting to no longer deal in pennies, but left dealing with upset customers who are demanding that the stores round in their favor.

Freemage, I don’t know if this is common nationwide, but here in Nebraska, most, if not all, businesses, are rounding in favor of the customer. Last I heard, we had a propnosed law to require rounding to the nearest nickel, so businesses would often have to round in favor of the customer.
I haven’t encountered any irate, or even mildly irritated, customers since it happened. I think businesses are bending over backward to accommodate the change without inconveniencing the customer. I don’t know how long that will last, but I imagine price adjustments are in the future.
I think the biggest problem is the sales tax; since they often include fractions of percents, it can be difficult to figure out how to do the price to come out even with sales tax.

Re pennies:
In Madison, WI it varies. At one place I know of, they have chosen to not deal with pennies at all, and always round down the total due if one is paying cash. Other places will use pennies. They accept them. If they have them in the register, they will use them when giving change. At the grocery store I use, if they don’t have pennies, they round to the nearest nickel at the point of giving change.
I’ve noticed that all self-service registers no longer take cash. Although, at least some were already not taking cash before the penny was discontinued.
