You still haven't answered why should one be voting for a person whose deficits are only trending up. Start from first principles and break down what 4 more years of this lying, misleading would look like.

I am not willing to justify his actions. His failure has been big and he is not capable of fixing anything. That alone is a great starting point to not vote for him (and I haven't even gone into how destructive his 4 years were).

I know I can't change blind faith but I would encourage you to open your eyes. Take that Red Pill and try to see what has become of our country.

For real my dude, stop being so partisan. I didn't vote for Trump. You seem to be assuming I did.

Biden was VP to Obama. Deficit under Obama/Biden first term was much worse than Trump first term. Not sure why you think Biden wouldn't just immediately shoot the deficit way up (assuming he has that power, which mostly the POTUS does not). Again, doesn't matter if the trend is down if your first year is the all time high.

You still haven't shown empirically what damage Trump has caused. As far as I've seen, there is nothing in the data that is very damning at all once you exclude COVID, which again, I exclude because it's not just the US failing at COVID, it's the vast majority of all countries on earth. There are literally only a handful of countries that have handled COVID very well. Unrelated to the black swan event that is COVID, stats are either the same, better, or no worse than they've been at other times in the past couple decades. Hardly seems like the end times if you actually are looking at the data.
