Yeah, that whole secure southern border, lower taxes, no new wars, new peace deals signed (Abraham Accords), much better economy (1.4% inflation) would be terrible...

The better question would be, considering the wreckage of the past 3 1.2 years, why would anyone vote against their own best interests and vote Democrat?

People keep trying to tell us we were better off four years ago and really we weren’t. Yes, having an adult running the country who isn’t advocating to control the fed so interest rates can be juiced for short term benefits is kind of hard, you have to have an adult-level of self control to not go for the instant gratification or as much short term growth as possible.

Trump is the kind of guy who will claim credit for getting America out of Afghanistan and then blame Biden for withdrawing America from Afghanistan again. He is just a petulant five year old, and we really can’t risk the country under his leadership again.

It isn’t a mystery why inflation kicked up after the pandemic, and none of Trump’s solution (low interest rates, high tariffs) would have made the problem any less, and actually would have made it much worse if you just do the math.
