Not a Trump supporter, never have been. I think this was a mistake. That said, I'll address each point with possible explanations and, where available, silver linings.
1) he lies and lies and lies and...lies
2) he uses TWITTER for the most POINTLESS THINGS EVER
3) he filled his cabinet with the definition of "corporate swamp people",
4) and of course there's Bannon and Carson.........; MIKE FUCKING PENCE is his vice...; etc, etc, etc.
5) Anyway, why do you like him?
1) So did all of his opposition. Doesn't make it right but if integrity matters to you then we didn't really have any good options except maybe Gary Johnson and even then it's only relative (barring other problems a GJ presidency would've had)
2) Kind of a silly thing to hold against a president (or anyone for that matter) imo
3) Legitimate criticism, even some of his supporters have started going "wtf?" And those guys would make excuses for him if he made scientology the national religion and had skeptics put to death (semi srs)
4) No defense for the first 2. However, in Pence's case I honestly think he put him there as assassination insurance (100% srs)
5) I wouldn't go that far but here are some silver linings to his presidency
- 2 for 1 executive order has potential
- Doesn't appear to be planning any particularly aggressive moves against states rights (not that I'm aware of at least)
- The fact that he got voted into power in spite of all the coverage against him tells me that you can no longer be shut down by someone that doesn't like you just because they kept regurgitating "racist sexist homophobe and some such" ad-nauseum. This is glorious to me, as it indicates that in the future voters will have to wake up and and attack policies on a more factual basis. Although I do not believe that spite for SJWs is a good basis off of which to cast a vote, I at least take this as an indication that the amount of control they can exert by screaming over the moderate masses actually has its limitations.
- Hasn't expressed any interest in fighting against marijuana legalization (Clinton did, in a leaked email). I'm still a little worried about Jeff Sessions tho...
- Speaking of Sessions, his views on marijuana may be as crony-capitalist as you can possibly get but for awhile it was looking like our AG was going to be Chris Christie and thank GOD our president came to his senses on that one. This isn't exactly a praise to be sung for Trump, I'm just relieved that he didn't make the WORST possible pick
- Mattis should be a legit secdef and seems a decent foil for Trump's trigger-happiness
