For me, Trump just gets creepier by the minute. With US citizens protesting at airports, US judges ordering stops on Presidential exec orders, and people with US visas being detained, it looks like a shambles that is both hurting and infuriating a lot of innocent people. How can Trump say, "it's working out very nicely"? The same way he said that it stopped raining when his speech began, I suppose; he's prepared to lie even in the face of irrefutable evidence to the contrary.
At least in the past, politicians used to be more discreet about their deceptions, crediting us some level of critical intelligence. But Trump shows an arrogance, a contempt for the American people - that they can be told anything, and will have to live with it. That's creepy.
