This list would be unrealistic for even the most capable, experienced and accomplished person to achieve, let alone the most incapable, uncaring and inauthentic guy in existence, accomplishing nothing positive or of substance in 4 years.
The first thing I noticed is there is nothing but empty words on the list, with no ideas or plans to accomplish any of the agenda. It looks impressive to the uneducated voter, but it's all for show.

Oh, just him, though? All the state governors and city mayors are exempt I guess from your high standards?

We would certainly be better off, to what degree is not clear — the pandemic is still with us, so the extent of the damage by the current administration is not entirely known.
Defunding the WHO was a good, not bad thing and as for, if Biden had been in charge the pandemic would have been different, have you forgotten what Biden said about the virus early on?

I enjoyed the convention. it was uplifting to hear so many stories from regular americans. conventions don't win elections, but it was so good to hear good news and words for a hopeful future for america.

i've read this morning that menacing protesters harassed attendees as they left the final night of the convention, including senator rand paul, and police had to step in to protect him. did the mainstream press cover the mob's intimidation and threatening behavior? the threatening behavior of the mob put an exclamation point on trump's words in his acceptance speech: this is the most important election ever in our history.

will american voters choose what trump has offered or progressivism/mob rule? in less than three months we will know.

The convention speakers have been great all week. Definitely an uplifting event.

Those fireworks, though. Holy crap I have never seen anything like it. That was beyond dazzling!

I think you should go back and check plus many speakers keep their hands on the podium while speaking. I can't believe you are tying to use this as a reason to doubt his health. As for Biden, we haven't seen him our that often in the last 6 moths to notice how he reacts to a podium.

Good grief, Trump is actively trying to undermine both.

His administration is involved in a lawsuit to eliminate ACA, eliminating protection for pre-existing conditions.

As to protecting SS and Medicare, please. He is actively working to undermine funding for both.
And where are you getting the idea he is working on a way to undermine SS and medicare? pre existing conditions that is a hot potato for sure. I can add to this; SS does need some adjustments and I am a senior living, primarily on SS plus a small pension.

If Trump has a plan to bring law, order, peace - he should implement it now. Why wait to see if he is elected

Where are you getting your figures? Either way the viewing of both conventions was way down and for obvious reasons: they weren't worth watching the way they were handled.
