re: After Trump is elected and everything doesn't magically cost what it did in 2019

Some of you need to take a class in context. In 2019 we had an economy that was nearly unprecedented in 20 years. Trumps economic policies were the reason for it.

Then Covid came around and no one had an idea of what Covid was at the time. Trump couldn’t throw birx and fauci out, they were the “experts” and he had to take into consideration their terrible ideas as who else was the White House to trust in march of 2020?

After the months of bullshite the administration brought in Dr atlas, you should really read his book on all the nuance surrounding what actions the president could take. His descriptions of his meetings with fauci and birx pretty much described what we all thought, but the positions they held carried significant weight, political and government functional weight. Our president isn’t some dictator that can just replace everyone for no reason without extreme political blowback….and you are kidding yourself if you believe if trump were to fire birx and/or fauci during that early Covid response that the democrats would sit by and not move towards removing trump by putting the country at risk by not following expert opinion. The GOPe would have loved to join up and make that 25th amendment move.

Oh, and on the spending aspect. Like we’ve had one president that has reduced spending. The GOP does not care about spending and hasn’t in 30 years.

The good thing about trump is that his economic policies greatly increased economic activity. That activity increased taxes the government received. The ratio of debt to gdp decreased the ever increasing debt load on our government. As the debt still rose, gdp rose faster. Providing a better opportunity to handle our debt.

Let’s also take out the notion that he never had a speaker that was on board with his policies. Ryan was a disaster and pelosi wasn’t going to do him any favors. Same in the senate. People tend to forget that the GOPe, for whatever reason, hate what trump represents.

So yes, trump is the best option we have. Yes his spending is worrying, but who the hell else would you have? Again, GOPe were spending just as much as the democrats.
