Provide a critical assessment of Donald Trump's performance as president, highlighting his negative traits and expressing hope that the damage caused by him will be limited.
Donald Trump  has shown himself to be narcissistic, xenophobic, paranoid, vindictive, and thin-skinned. He takes credit for the work of others and blames others for his own failings. He lashes out at the press when they criticize him, and he demonizes judges who disagree with him. 
He's a president who doesn’t understand the higher purpose of his office, or that the intention of governing is to advance the common good.
He's a juvenile ego surrounded by unethical and inept advisers and we can only hope the damage to the US and the world will be minimal.
