re: Trumpmore Sculpture

Usually during a conversation it’s helpful to provide a counterpoint. Putting down someone else’s opinion without backup typically insinuates that you don’t have any evidence of the contrary. What President have you seen that has accomplished more than Trump? What policies or actions show that President has done more than Trump?

So the person who made the initial claim has no need to provide specifics, but I do? OK.

Washington establishing the institution of the presidency and a two-term tradition. Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase. Lincoln and the Civil War. Theodore Roosevelt and the Panama Canal and millions of acres of land for conservation. Woodrow Wilson and all of the progressive changes and American leadership in the first world war. FDR and the New Deal - Social Security, rural electrification, WPA, FDIC just to name a few.

The Truman Doctrine. Marshall Plan. LBJ with Medicare and Medicaid. Nixon ending the Vietnam War and bringing detente with the Soviet Union and opening China. I haven’t even gotten to Ronald Reagan.

Now, a lot of these things I wouldn’t agree with personally. For instance, screw Woodrow Wilson. I also don’t think the new deal ended the Great Depression, I think it was actually the war that ended the depression. But these things are gigantic in scale and with all due respect to the former president, whatever he did in the last four years pales in comparison. Again, it’s absurd.
