By the poll numbers, not much faith in our demented president.
If this same question was posed on Reddit, the numbers would be flipped and worse. It all depends on the audience. This poll proves that City-Data mainly attracts people with common sense and who love their country.
On almost every front, things seem to have gotten worse since Joe Biden replaced Donald Trump as President. From inflation to Afghanistan to the stock market to war in Europe, the world seems a more chaotic and unpredictable place.
On top of all that, the pandemic worsened under Biden, with over half a million dead and counting - far more than under Biden than Trump despite the availability of multiple vaccines and therapeutics.
So, do you miss the peace and prosperity of the Trump years?
If not for the insane, destructive, lunatic, racist, bigoted, and totalitarian Democrats, our nation would be a much more peaceful place.
No. I prefer misery, uncertainty, high fuel cost, high living expense, runaway inflation, watching any money I may have saved lose it's value each month, and watching two wars: the first being Vladimir waltzing into Ukraine, and the second, a drooling, incompetent, mentally vacant, babbling old goat sitting in the White House having a war trying to control his own bladder.
Not to mention, worrying that you could be canceled, vilified and punished, simply for voicing a different opinion than the Democrats, or for simply not agreeing with their views.
It wasn't Democrats who have been hunted down and beaten simply for wearing a hat, t-shirt or bumper sticker for their political candidates. All you need to do is wear a red MAGA hat as a 15 year old school kid, and the left will assassinate your character and vilify you endlessly on TV, news and social media. The repubs didn't do that, the dems did.
By all means feel free to see your children, and or grandchildren off to the war zone.
Or like most others on the left you are expecting other peoples children to die on some frozen farm field in the Ukraine for your arm chair general fantasies?
I have a 19 yo son, and there is not one god dammed thing in the Ukraine or Europe for that matter worth his life for.
Maybe its time for the European's to step up and stop hiding behind America's military. Without the US the whole of NATO couldn't fight off Canada.
There are laws in place that if your son is the only one to carry on the family name and has no son's of his own, he cannot be deployed. My son falls into that law (along with another thing that qualifies him to not deploy).

Go listen to the interview. When one keeps using the media's talking points, it shows one is not bright enough to take the time to research if it is true or not. I promise the media likes to twist stuff. They have done it for years especially when it comes to Trump

I preface this with having voted for Trump in 2020 and did so because it made sense to me for there to be continuity in the midst of a global pandemic. Nothing more or less.
In November 2020- mid 2021, it was believed the vaccine would be one (2 doses) and done. No bigger champions than Trump and Biden.
Then came the Delta variant, twice as contagious as the original virus. Vaccine was not as effective against the Delta variant as it was against the original.
Then we learn in July, 2021, the efficacy of vaccine begins to wane at the 5–6-month mark.
Then came the Omicron variant, 4 X as contagious as the original virus and the vaccine was not nearly as good as it was against the original virus.
What we do know is that 90% of the fatalities attributed to Covid complications were among the unvaccinated.
We also know Trump has been booed by his supporters when he has encouraged the masses to get vaccinated.
There is nothing remotely factual that Covid would have followed a different path based on who won the 2020 election. It is an equal opportunity infector.
POTUS does not control inflation. If a POTUS did there would be no inflation. Inflation began in 2020 and has persisted. Short of imposing wage/price freeze ad controls by EO, as Nixon did in 1970, there is nothing a POTUS can do.
Shortages of chips, chemicals etc began in 2020 and has persisted.
Biden inherited a No-Win situation in Afghanistan. Trump would have been in the same position. Trump Admin negotiated with the Taliban, agreed to facilitate the release of 5000 Taliban fighters from Afghan prisons and did so in 2020. It also agreed to withdraw all troops by 5/2021. Trump boasted all would be home for the holidays in 2020. Instead, only 1250 remained out of a one time high of 100,000, remained at the point of transition. Nothing seems to be known about the Trump's Admin vetting of Afghans who had been helpful to the US over the years.
Trump, like Biden, would have faced the dilemma of redeploying a massive number of troops, as Bush, Obama and Trump had done in the past when things went sideways. No one knows what Trump would have done in 2021 under the same circumstances.
POTUS does not control the markets. If a POTUS did, it would never decline. FRB indicated it would increase the Fed Fund rate by .25 in March 2022 which impacted markets.
The uncertainty in Europe has subsequently caused the market to react. This uncertainty existed no matter what any POTUS said or did, or not. Beyond " It's all Biden's fault" Trump has said nothing. meaningful. One day he supports Russia as a peacekeeper. The next day he says Biden is too weak to stand up to Russia.
You did not mention immigration. On that, Biden owns it
Remind me again what happened to Mr Coumo, and which state he is currently the governor of.
I dont like Trump because the guy is crude, obnoxious, and not the sort of man I want to represent me or my country. Its shameful that he did, and acted so poorly that he is the current record holder for impeachments for a us president. Thats nothing to be proud of. Nor him bragging about forcing women to kiss him, and how they allow it because he has money.
Nor am I fond of someone who loses a US election, then whines like a baby and claims the other side cheated with ZERO actual evidence not created by his team. Its unamerican.
Im not fond of someone who thought it was more important to make other peoples lives worse, then to focus on improving everyones life.
Im not fond of someone who says LITERALLY "take the firearms first go through due process second" like this:
If Trump didn't have such a fragile ego, he would have gone down as one of the best president's in history. However, based on Biden's lack of action on everything and anything, I'd take Trump back in a heartbeat.
