So can anyone tell me why I should like Trump? Like what did he do that was so incredibly amazing?
He signed a tax cut. A cut that was disproportionately beneficial to the ultra wealthy who need that extra cash the absolute least, and a cut that was accompained by no reduction in governent expenditure, meaning that debt was pointlessly accumulated by the federal government effectively as a mortgage of future American incomes towards that tax cut, because debt isn't magic and someone eventually has to foot the bill, evident in the fact that the bill he signed was designed to start raising taxes in 2021, mostly on the middle class by the way. Oh and that's still the law of the land... you can only blame Biden and the Dems for not changing what Trump and the Republicans did... Before the pandemic Trump was already well on the way to adding the most to the national debt or any president in a single term.
Infrastructure overhaul? Nope.
Immigration? GOP rhetoric about it is virtually the same as it was prior to his presidency, because he didn't solve anything...
Health care reform? They literally don't have any ideas, well beyond the tremendously stupid idea of repealing the affordable care act with nothing lined up to replace it...
And there's 2020. Recall when COVID was still a mysterious infection in China, Trump could not praise Xi Jingping enough (and he hasn't stopped). Then he went out of his way to cause confusion contradicting experts and his own officials, offended that the statistics made him look bad, not giving two s**** about the tradegy they represented, just the implications for his reputation
Leadership. Where was it? As unrest unlocked the nation and a pandemic took it's toll, when the anniversary of our nation's birth came, he took the opportunity not to call for unity and strength, but divide and fear mongering about a "left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution". To celebrate our nation's birth, he called Americans "bad, evil people"...
I have a son who was a high school senior at that time. He was taking a AP gov class, where his teacher gave the class a homework assignment to research both major party candidates campaigns.
I'm still befuddled, for my son came to me since he couldn't find the Trump campaigns policy proposals for his second term. There weren't any. Trump was just great. That was the entire platform...
What a legacy he built, truly inspirational. That's all without the not so unimportant distinction of being the first and only president to have sought to prevent the peaceful transition of power...
You can rage however much you want about culture war nonsense. Trump was the antithesis of a leader, and history will remember him for who he was
Trump lost his trade wars. The result of charging more for imports was to jack up prices people pay for goods in the U.S. MA-G-A-S whine and blame Biden for higher prices Trump caused.
