Besides impeachment, what other sort of subtle ways can the Democrats try to help Mr Trump become a better president?

Considering the possibility that he might be re-elected.

    It would seem that ship sailed long ago, as The Fool has, on numerous occasions, proclaimed himself and his presidency in the most glowing of superlatives; the Greatest this, the Best that.., Better than Lincoln...blah, blah, blah. No doubt that the “unbelievable turnout” at the inauguration set this in motion. 

    Besides, with the unflinching legion of delusional disciples raining nonsense like “The Chosen One”, upon him, what more need be heard? Lol

    (That said, we obviously know he stews and rages over any shred of perceived dissent, epically insecure as he has proven to be.)

    They could focus more on debating policy and legislation,
    use proven facts and sound logic,
    and focus on promoting their own policies.

    Just attacking Trump has a terrible backfire effect.
    It puts all the focus on the President
    and helps people forget what the Dems really stand for.

    Re: "and helps people forget what the Dems really stand for."

    Given the recent Democratic tax giveaway to health care industry, people forgetting what the Democratic Party actually does may be a feature, not a bug...

    You see, they had to vote for someone for President. They chose the most entertaining who has demonstrated an ability to comprehend finances.  This election, the Democratic Party has even weaker candidates than in 2016. This post was edited by B.H.Wilson at December 20, 2019 9:51 AM MST

    One of the most fascinating (and depressing) aspects of the Trump phenomenon is how much people project their wishes upon him.

    You state Trump "has demonstrated an ability to comprehend finances".  I argue there is little evidence to support this assertion, given the number of businesses he has steered into bankruptcy.

    Moreover, if you look into the libel lawsuit Trump brought against author Timothy O'Brien (for an authorized biography of Trump which questioned Trump's reported net worth), it becomes apparent Trump is far more aware of what he wants to believe about finances than the reality of finances.

    Hence, if people voted for Trump because of their belief in his financial acumen (and I know at least one Trump voter who did so), they did so out of wishful thinking, not judicious study of discernible reality.

    Ability to comprehend finances?  I submit that anyone bankrupting six companies, one of which is a legal casino in Las Vegas, doesn't comprehend finances.  His business "acumen" is such that no American banks will loan him money, ergo his need to accept foreign funding which puts him in the position of being coerced by foreign governments.  That is not a good thing if you are the American president.

    There is nothing they can do.  trump thinks he's a king (or a god).  No one can help or tell a king (or a god) what to do.

    Trump thinks he knows more than anyone on the planet, so there's no way he can be taught anything.

    Interesting how a man who we can all see listens to no one, so often presumes to say “...and everybody knows it”.
