>> As for your comment, "Everything Trump did worked." Uh, no. His trade and tariff policies were a dismal failure. His tax cuts did not result in 4, 5 or even 6% growth. In fact, the last three years of the economy under Obama were stronger than the first thrre years under Trump. And of course the last year was a complete disaster, wiping out any of the gains that were made in the previous three years. He didn't repeal and replace the ACA with the "best medical system" ever. He didn't reduce the deficit; instead it soared to new records. His tax cuts gave the upper .1% huge tax savings while giving most of the middle and lower income people much smaller savings. Far from hiring "only the best people" for his cabinet, it had more turnover than any cabinet in history. He didn't build his cherished wall except for a few miles and Mexico didn't pay for it.

It is you who is conveniently ignoring the content.

- Had Democrats supported Trump's China agenda, it would have been fine. From the outset it depended on him being reelected, and when China saw you cheating on the election they realized they just had to hold out until Jan 20. That's on the Democrats for not getting behind a policy that was clearly working.

- Tax cuts were doing fine until the pandemic got here. And they were certainly responsible for the great economy we had during the Trump years.

Mostly, you either ignorantly, or with intent to mislead, left off ALL of the context from the Trump term. You should not do that.

But I get it. Being honest doesn't come to you naturally.
