I'll see your UH Progressive professor ("Look, I want Donald Trump gone as much as anyone...") Civil Beat article and raise you one American Thinker article by Karin McQuillan, which is a suitable response to your opening assertion that "Trump is an idiot" and "an SNL skit":

As more and more people who hate Trump are forced to admit his achievements as president, they are doubling down on character assassination. Even Trump voters often preface their satisfaction with Trump's actions by criticizing his tweets or his personality.
Here's an alternate take on things: Trump's character is responsible for his outstanding performance in his first year as president. If you want to know who someone is, you look at what he does. What we have: a booming economy, growing jobs, more lawful governance, fewer regulations, more global security. What character traits this took: hard work, focus, commitment, courage, honesty, independence, incorruptibility, self-confidence, love of excellence. The list of Trump's positive character traits goes on and on. You don't get achievements independent of character.

It is a sorry reflection on our polite society that they are having conniption fits over Trump's character. They want to divide the man from his achievements, just as they successfully divided Obama from his failures. Can they succeed in besmirching Trump's character as they succeeded in sanitizing Obama's? Their megaphone is large, and their self-interest in supporting the status quo ante is strong. They have a ready-built audience. They have enlisted enemies within our own Republican camp.
We have Trump. We are winning.
