Other than more than a million Americans died due to Trump's gross mishandling of the pandemic? The idiot damn near collapsed our medical system!

He also figured out a way to turn our farmers into Welfare Queens due to his misguided trade war with China. Trump disrupted the supply chains before the pandemic hit.

Finally, Trump managed to take an economy that was running on all cylinders and start curtailing economic growth - and that's before the pandemic hit. Trump drove the deficits up at a faster rate than Reagan - that's quite an accomplishment! That factors into inflation - as Reagan himself pointed out when he was complaining about Carter's deficits.

The United States simply can't afford four more years of Trump.

Thanks for enumerating; I never heard of any of that except for the pandemic (and I honestly don't know either way how much better/worse someone else would have done in that position).

I think this is the best comment for helping me understand the aversion to him. Most of it is about the economy which is easy to understand the impact of.
