The drama is unbecoming. Contrary to claims, civilization didn't end when Trump took office. The economy didn't crash, it grew. Food prices didn't soar, they went down. Unemployment didn't go up, it went down, especially for minorities. Gas prices didn't hit $7 in California. Home energy bills went down. People had more disposable income and less tax burden. We didn't experience wild inflation. There was no prospect for a third world war.

But then Biden took office and many of those predictions came true through a variety of factors, not the least of which was the incompetence of State Governors, Chinese Communists and Democrats.

Funny how the real world works.

Are you actually serious or trolling?

The guy lost the election and did everything in his power to hang onto it, this is a serious and dangerous threat to modern western democratic civilization.

There was no prospect for a third world war.

Who is being dramatic now?

We didn't experience wild inflation.

No but the Trump administration helped cause it? Inflation is not something that just happens because Joe Biden likes inflation, it happens because of policy.

Funny how the real world works :)

... and now the media is like "this is fine (but it won't be if any conservative goals are accomplished)" while the world burns; whereas it was saying "the world is ending" while Trump was in office.
Nice unsubstantiated claims there...
