It's not one or the other. Trump also gave very real tax breaks (including a massive standard deduction) to working families. And hey, you just said it will expire this year. Interesting. So what you are saying, without even realizing it, is that Trump provided very real relief to working people and it will EXPIRE and disappear because the new administration won't renew it. Lol. The new administration, by your own admission, will screw working people. Sounds about right.

Interesting that the left NEVER say why the individual tax cuts will start to expire this year. Do you remember? PERMANENT tax cuts require a 60% vote in the Senate. Every Republican senator voted for the bill-NOT ONE Democrat did. Remember this-in a short time the Democrats will own one of the largest middle class tax increases in history. And yet, I expect very few will hear about it-since our MSM will suppress the truth.

Love when people fall over themselves to accuse one party of bowing to corporate interests while lauding the other for being "for the people". Load of rubbish.

Both parties have pockets full of corporate cash. How Americans believe there's a huge difference between these parties is beyond me. The choice is an illusion.

He said he was doing all that. But look at the actual results. Abject failure.

And who is in China's pocket? The TPP was a tool to fight China's influence and Trump scuttled it. They swooped in there and with many of our allies Trump ticked off and now China is the #1 economy and our trade imbalance is even worse. And he taxed us through tariffs.
