Somehow I managed to misread it as 'good job'. Maybe I was half reading and half assuming.

I’ll be clear; I find Trump obnoxious. And sometimes a bit retarded. When he speaks he’s either on point, or all over the place. You just never know what you’re going to get.

But at the end of the day, I can ignore his tomfoolery, as long as he’s making the economy rain. And he primarily has, up until COVID hit. Since he came into office I’ve paid off my mortgage (15 years early!) and watched my 401k go nuts, not to mention the stock I’m invested in. I hate to hurt anyone’s feelings, but that matters a lot more to me than the current social unrest. Most people will agree that their financial bottom line is the most important thing. In any event, I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 but I will be voting for him in 2020. As far as I’m concerned it’s either beets or asparagus for dinner, and I can tolerate asparagus *slightly* more than beets.

America is currently far too decadent, corrupt, and dysfunctional to survive for much longer. The breakdown of the empire will be complete by 2040.

Americans aren't stupid, they aren't blaming Trump for covid-19.

There are things Trump can be blamed for, like not taking strong enough action to end the riots in democrat run cities.
Would you be saying the same with Obama? I guarantee 90% of the people saying "Covid-19 is a Chinese Virus, which Trump had nothing to do with" were singling out Obama for saying "Obama gave us Swine Flu and Ebola."

Lord save us.
Then explain why the country wasn't already hopelessly destroyed from 8 years of Obama and Biden. Or are you too young to remember how it was?

If you are not under all the Federal laws and policies that promote open borders and protect invaders, it becomes a lot easier to pressure and force out illegal aliens. Enforcement and little to no rights, protections or benefits for illegals and non-citizen would be a key and necessary principle, and why a new and better country is needed in the first place.

tRump: "I take no responsibility"

Less than 5 months.

2021: America begins the long task of repeairing the damage.

Just like we had to do when Dubya left DC.

There's a pattern emerging.

I actually think Bush 43 did not do that bad a job in his second term. Nor did Obama when he followed him. Bush 43 biggest mistake was Iraq. There was no justification for that. But he did not go about trying to divide the country like Trump is doing. In fact, I can't remember a president, with the possible exception of Nixon, sort of, actively WORKING on being divisive.

LoL no President worked more to divide Americans than Obama did. Division is now democrat's main political goal.

Well, except for:

1) Mismanaging his Iraq oil war into an unwinnable quagmire
2) Mismanaging his Afghan war into an unwinnable quagmire
3) Mismanaging the economy into the worst disaster in three generations.

But, you're right.

Those look like the "good old days" in comparison to tRump's America.

tRump is a stupid, corrupt weakling.

He's the inevitable consequence of the GOP embracing the brain dead religious right.
