They’res many many things odd about the Trump fetish some people have but the oddest is the idea that Trump is a champion for the middle and lower class.

Coming from NYC knowing what this guys always been about it’s hillarious when you see people who think he cared about them.

I am low-income, therefore did not benefit under Trump. However, I will not benefit from anything Biden has signed so far, either.

I mostly voted for Biden because I was worried about healthcare and protecting preexisting.

Technically, I probably shouldn't be posting on this thread since I am not actually "middle class".

The hell's wrong with that?

What's your working belief, that no one should become rich? Or, that only politicians and people who work for NGOs should become rich?

Being rich is rare by definition — but most still want the opportunity to get there.

I don't identify as liberal or conservative. I'll just give my account of what I got under Trump: Nothing. I started the administration with a good job, got laid off, burned through my savings, spent several months underemployed. And then I got a good job again (albeit it was a contract job). Got another contract job, then a direct job. Things improved from 2019 onward. However, I spent 2019 trying to make up for the crap I went through during 2017-2018.

All I say, none of it is from a partisan perspective. It's just simply what I dealt with. I'm not better off or worse off than I was during the last part of the Obama administration, all things considered.

He continued to have this stance for another month before signing on with the idea all while continuing to call President Trump a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, and anything else he could think of. So, we as a country would have been less safe had Biden been president over the duration of this virus.

Also, can you name one modern president that hasn't golfed or pardoned anyone? I'll accept a Republican or a Democrat.
Except Trump said he was going to be too busy to do that because he’d be working so hard for us .

How did Trump line his pockets?

You can blame CNN for manipulating the stupid liberal voters who think the government should line their pockets.

Anyone who also has a 401K or an IRA account also benefitted greatly from the previous administration.

Take your partisan party hat off and the stop listening to the MSM for that matter.
How many $24,000 fridges do you think Trump owns? Why is it ok for him to flaunt wealth?
