tRump's Legacy

"Trump reversed 80 environmental rules and regulations.

He appointed more than 220 judges to the federal bench, including three to the Supreme Court 24 percent female, 4 percent Black, and 100 percent conservative, with more rated "not qualified" by the American Bar Association than under any other president in the past half century.

The national debt increased by $7 trillion, or 37 percent. In Trump's last year, the trade deficit was on track to exceed $600 billion, the largest gap since 2008.

Trump signed just one major piece of legislation, the 2017 tax law, which, according to one study, for the first time brought the total tax rate of the wealthiest 400 Americans below that of every other income group. In Trump's first year as president, he paid $750 in taxes. While he was in office, taxpayers and campaign donors handed over at least $8 million to his family business."....

..... No number from Trump's years in power will be more lastingly destructive than his 25,000 false or misleading statements. Super-spread by social media and cable news, they contaminated the minds of tens of millions of people. Trump's lies will linger for years, poisoning the atmosphere like radioactive dust...

... Trump's lies were different. They belonged to the postmodern era. They were assaults against not this or that fact, but reality itself. They spread beyond public policy to invade private life, clouding the mental faculties of everyone who had to breathe his air, dissolving the very distinction between truth and falsehood....

..... Just as he said aloud what he was supposed to keep to himself, he lied again and again about matters of settled fact the more brazen and frequent the lie, the better. Two days after the polls closed, with the returns showing him almost certain to lose, Trump stood at the White House podium and declared himself the winner of an election that his opponent was trying to steal.

This crowning conspiracy theory of Trump's presidency activated his entitled children, compliant staff, and sycophants in Congress and the media to issue dozens of statements declaring that the election was fraudulent...

.... After the election, as charges of voter fraud began to pile up, Matthew Sheffield, a reformed right-wing media activist, tweeted: "Truth for conservative journalists is anything that harms 'the left.' It doesn't even have to be a fact. Trump's numerous lies about any subject under the sun are thus justified because his deceptions point to a larger truth: that liberals are evil."

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote and lost the electoral college by a hair.

Trump lost badly on both counts and claims it is a fraud. He still hasn't congratulated Biden. Most GOP Senators and Congressmen won't admit Biden won.

I'm not buying it.

How many times does it need to be explained to him. The signatures were on the envelopes. The envelopes are gone.

Next he will want them to re check the photo ID on the in person ballots

This is shocking and so unlike Trump.
