Yes, I'm sure history will prove that I was the crazy one and that Trump was a great president.
Your first sentence above is correct! Congratulations! That's the first true comment you've made in a heckuva long time.
Hand on the Bible, do you really believe that or you just doing the back and forth arguing? You really believe that Trump will be considered a great president and that he has not only accomplished a lot, but that what he has accomplished is good, and that there are things he has done that improved the country that are not just ongoing trends of the nation that he had little to do with and would have been true no matter the president? I really want to know your answer to that. Do you REALLY think Trump is a great president and will be considered so in the future?
From where I sit, I can't see a single policy that has been good for the nation or a single result that has improved the country that he gets credit for. There have been some things done by Congress--that he actually was forced to support, and a lot of riding the economy left to him by Obama.
The only thing I see that perhaps he gets credit is a spike in the stock market, but that was at a tremendous cost to the overall economic health of the country, benefitted a few, benefited him and his donors, and was artificially stimulated through corporate socialism and criminal de-regulation and speculation on an inflated and roller-coastering market (can you say insider trading?). The stock market did not rise on the tremendous health of the overall economy and a rise in innovation and expansion of consumer wealth and health of the middle class, this was a gambit by the donor-class.
So I really have no clue what it is you celebrate about him and why you think he would be seen as a great president. Instead I see a known criminal, an unindicted co-conspirator, an impeached president, who has not accomplished anything, who lies to his people, who uses propaganda and force to control his people, who breaks laws, who is self serving, favors cronyism and nepotism, whose incompetence has cost the lives of over 100K Americans, who destroys allies and stands with dictators, and has brought the country to hatred of one another in a tribal society. This is not name calling, this is an accurate description.How do you stand with this?
You want to act like his response to COVID doesn't count, but that was the test of his presidency. He failed. He made it worse. He owns the economic collapse and the deaths, because a better response from him mitigates all of that.This isn't about Obama, but as an example, he was handed the worst economic collapse since Great Depression and he SOLVED it. He didn't make it worse or say that doesn't count.Where he started and where he ended was miles apart on a huge upward swing. Trump started up and is ending down, but that doesn't count? He has no responsibility?
I 100% believe that if your mind was blanked, and you just opened your eyes today and there were not such things as political parties, you would see Trump exactly as I see him and only do not see him clearly because the R next to his name and the indoctrination of your news sources.
