Politicians and officeholders always end up frustrating me. I see it the way it should be, not the way it is. I explain.

Eric Deters breaks down why politicians and officeholders consistently disappoint — from Trump's Iran fuel price blunder to local judges controlled by big law, and why solving problems should be the only job description.

Ladies and gentlemen, the American Jury and Bulldog Nation — I hate wasting time. One of the reasons I do these Facebook Lives while I'm driving is so I can make phone calls and stay productive. No wasted time.

Politicians and officeholders always end up frustrating me, with very few exceptions. It's because I see things the way they ought to be instead of the way they are. And it perplexes me that things aren't the way they should be.

Let me give you an example. I'll start with President Trump. It made absolutely no sense — except for hubris, egomania, and not caring — for President Trump to allow his war action in Iran to hurt the American public for almost an entire year with fuel prices. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I see governors in Kentucky and Ohio just mismanaging. Ohio completely mismanaged COVID. The idea that you shut down certain businesses — wiping out the entire restaurant industry — it makes no sense. Political officeholders should solve problems. That's the whole point. That's the entire job description.

The Biden administration did nothing but create more problems. Trump, for a year and two months, did nothing but solve problems. It was a beautiful thing to watch. And then, in a matter of eight months, he ruins it. Throws it all away. Just unbelievable.

On a local level — city councils, county governments — it should be about solving problems. Not creating them. Solving them.

Judges. I'm telling you right now, the way I see 90% of judges operate, I don't get it. Taking too long to make decisions. Making decisions that create more chaos than less. Being controlled by big law, insurance companies, and healthcare instead of doing what's right by the average person. I get so frustrated.

There are exceptions. I'm not going to name them because I don't want people to know who my friends are. What happens is it gets used against you — and against them. There are some people in public office I genuinely respect. But there aren't many.

State legislators — don't even get me started. What they do and what they fail to do is its own conversation entirely.

Political officeholders should be solving problems, not creating them. And it doesn't happen very often. The best politics is always to do a good job. Trump was doing a great job right up until February, and then he just blew it. Blew it completely. It is the biggest political suicide I have ever personally witnessed in my 63 years on this earth. I have never seen any president doing such a great job suddenly flush it all down the drain.

Ladies and gentlemen, the American Jury and Bulldog Nation — why can't we have political officeholders who solve problems, who are responsive, who communicate, who give a damn? It blows me away how greed and power corrupt what should be the simplest job in the world: serve the people.
