I understand the notion of lesser of two evils (believe me, I do), I just don't see how Donald Trump's GOP is the lesser if two evils. As I've said in discussion with others, I can't see past his words and truly his actions are not any better.
I have never see in my life (we're close in age, by the way) a President who flat let's it be known he doesn't care about a large portion of his constituency (the majority if you go by approval ratings, 2016's popular vote and 2018's mid-term elections).
Trump's words don't exist in a vacuum. They have impact, they just don't seem to have impact to many of those who they're not aimed at.
As far as actions being good, the market has continued the upward trajectory it was on when he took office. I have no complaints about it. The percentage growth from when Obama took office to when he left office is greater, however, than from the time Trump took office to now.
Obama's administration created more jobs in its last three years than Trump's did in its first three years.
Congrats to the Trump administration on Black unemployment rate prior to the pandemic. Much like the market, he just continued in the same direction.
His handling of the pandemic has been a disaster, and has shown his words have impact.
His rejection of data and science is dangerous. There's really no other way to say that. I would argue it is dangerous to have the leader of any major operation be the type of person who seems to reject any statistical analysis that tells him something he doesn't want to hear.
I feel the impact he has had on the political discourse in this country may irreparable. I feel he has set race relations back, but hopefully that can be repaired.
exactly the economy and the stock market has been in the same great trajectory through Obama and until before the pandemic.....do yall remember where unemployment and the stock market was in 2008????...i dont believe there has been one debt ceiling stand off, threatening the US credit rating/standing......no disparaging the jobs numbers or any of that craziness under Obama.....everything was thwarted like it was sport....
