What do you disagree with that Trump has done?

What has he actually done?

He’s gotten a bunch of young judges appointed to the federal bench. That will help someone conservative causes over time, but I suspect the effect will diminish more rapidly than people think.

He had created a fair number of new manufacturing jobs in the US. Not sure where that stands now.

He spent a buttload of money we don’t have. And he cut my taxes by a good amount. I guess if I invest the savings I can offset the coming inflationary pressures driven by debt.

He got Keystone and Dakota approved, which is good for some segments of the energy industry, though not the Gulf Coast or west Texas. But he propped up coal, which competes with natural gas. That hurts the more southern segments of oil and gas. He did hold anti-frackers at bay. Mixed bag.

I recall that I credited him bigly with a move he made on drug costs. Can’t recall details at the moment, but it was significant.

He’d taken some good steps on opioids before Covid hit.

I think he failed on trade deficit. I haven’t done the deep dive yet, but raw numbers suggest that he lost the China trade war. Again, I need to look at that more closely. His renegotiation with Mexico and Canada may help. We will see.

His problem is chaos. He does some things that turn out right. If he’d take some Adderal, he could do a lot more.

I always thought that maybe his chaos had a point, a method in his madness. I don’t see it.

So when you accuse me of being progressive liberal Antifa filth who is sky screaming, read what I just wrote and tell me it’s not a little objective.
