Hundreds of thousands dead from covid and the economy in tatters. I don't know why you're basing your argument on this.
He made a total balls of the economy, increased debt levels year on year and his disinterest in COVID (he got bored quickly because it wasn't all about him anymore) led to a lot of excess deaths. He bent over to Putin in front of the entire world, sucked up to dictators the world over and then when he lost the election, he tried to cheat his way into another 4 years in office. How anyone can think anything to do with his presidency was a success is really beyond me. You said you thought Trump was a good President for America, and I believe that anyone that thinks that has some issues with their world view. I won't be apologising for that.
That is your opinion of course, but here in the US we had a booming economy, highest 401K Yields, No Wars and Inflation was kept in check. That no one can deny.
Well come to mention it looks like Joe has more deaths on his watch due to Covid and the economy was doing great before Covid hit thanks to Trump
No, I don’t.
Any economic dividend his White House had we’re almost entirely down to the work of the Obama administration undoing the damage of the Bush years.
Trump encouraged a bullish market by slashing corporate taxes, but that was based on nonsense “trickle-down” economics theory. All that did was further enrich already wealthy people. The index value of the Nasdaq has very little meaning to society as a whole beyond those playing the market. They may of had a good ride with Trump, but a doubt few others would feel the same.
Trump had no interest in peace. He clearly wanted a war on his watch to cement his presidency, much like Bush Jr. and his War on Terror. There was a time when it was getting dangerously close to him generating a open conflict with Iran for this very reason. He either hadn’t the follow-through or competency to go through with it, but I have very little doubt that he desired to ride a wave of populism that leading a war effort might have gotten him.
Have you ever heard of "correlation is not correlation"?
In other "of course he did, that's exactly what he would do!" News...
Covid damaged the economy not Trump. Pretty dishonest to blame Trump for a generational phenomenon that no country in the world was prepared for.
"UK will be paying the Covid costs for decades"
Taxpayers will bear the costs of Covid "for decades" - and an inquiry will not come soon enough to learn lessons from the pandemic, MPs have said.
UK government debt is now over £2.2 trillion, or about 99.7% of GDP - a rate not seen since the early 1960s. In June alone, debt interest cost £8.7bn.
Before Covid shattered the global economy , Trumps economy was doing great.
Analysis: Yes, President Trump gets credit for the economy
Previous presidents had transparency, trump banned reporting of drone strike casualties.
And just absolutely coincidentally, Britain separated itself from Europe around the same time. Funny that. There is no doubt at all though that any UK inquiry launched by the Conservatives will find that Covid was the main problem.
What peace are you referring to?
Nonsense.
He dismantled the pandemic-preparedness office, spread racist conspiracy theories and undermined his own experts. Honestly, I thought covid would guarantee him his second term but he was somehow so much of a moron ('Person, woman, man, camera, TV') that he couldn't even listen to anyone smarter than him which is almost everyone.
It's dishonest and disingenuous to absolve him when every other rich country handled it so much better.
He legitimised authoritarian tyrants around the world and now we have war in Ukraine. The peace argument falls apart very quickly as well.
You quoted a 2018 article 🤣
you're right he took credit: for the worst jobs performance of any president in US history.
No wars started, started the process of pulling out of Alfghanistan. Wanted American involvement in the Middle East to end.
Maybe some transparency but a lot was hidden from the press & NATO.
This porker again already lol:
Trump is a peace keeper.
Also Trump....
The fact is he started no wars unlike Obama & others. The Economy during Trumps term took off like a rocket, peoples pensions & 401Ks were at it's highest. Fact is people prospered during his term. Obama bailed out the rich elites & corporations & banks and let the ordinary people lose their homes, 401Ks & Pensions. Bush was a disaster but it was Clinton who fucked up the economy with his signing away The Glass-Steagall Act. As I said before Trump was no saint but name one American President who was?
False.
How so?
Obama inherited practically all of the conflicts of his term from Bush’s War on Terror. He shifted things away from using troops to using drones (which he became somewhat infamous for) but it’s a stretch to suggest that he started those conflicts himself. Trump also continued many of those conflicts, even going as far as ordering a missle strike on Syria.
The «never started a war unlike the Dems» argument is extremely thin, and almost seems to be designed to frame Trump as some kind of «Peacemaker» which alas he wasn’t. His deal with the Taliban pretty much ensured that they had the force to retake Kabul, resulting in a new kleptocracy the world will never thank him for (especially the Afghans). His attempt to flirt with Kim Jong Un was clearly just a photo op to try and give him something historic to brag about. Alas he had no real plan, and all he did was feed the domestic North Korean propaganda machine. Despite his hopes Donnie was never taking a trip to Oslo to pick up a medal with Mr.Nobel’s face on it. I do prefer world leaders who aim for peace, but they should also be willing to fight for democracy which thankfully the Biden White House is doing with regards to Russia. This *used to be* a GOP value too….especially with regards to Russia. No longer it seems…. (gotta own those Ukrainian Libs after all…)
The economy «took off like a rocket», «pensions & 401Ks….». May I ask which part of the world you hail from? These are MAGA talking points you are using, and “401Ks” is a very US-specific reference. I detect an American perspective in your posts.
Read the post:
Except he caused an attempted insurrection in the USA.
He didn’t end the war in Afghanistan.
Wanted does not mean actioned.
Oh yea, that reminds me:
He moved the US Embassy in Isreal to Jerusalem, essentially lobbing a hand grenade into the middle east peace process. Possibly for the sake of Evangelical voters too, just to make the move even more morally bankrupt let alone provide more examples of how Trump was no friend of peace.
Seems like ignorant regurgitation to me.
Ultimately a worthless talking point because every person has the self determination to manage their own 401(k). Anyone can potentially manage to screw up or 'skyrocket' their 401(k) no matter which economic condition the country is currently in. So you're never short a faceless account on the internet claiming their 401(k) went up or down to suit the narrative.
Let's see some sources.
Also his withdraw from Syria with no warning left their indigenous allies (the kurds) to the wrath of the combined forces of Syria, Russia, and Turkey.
Now that's how you seal future alliances /s
He did not lead nor cause an insurrection in DC, those clowns acted on their own accord.
I said he bean the process of leaving Alfghanistan.
