Life was not good in 2020. We lived under virtual martial law in the name of a common cold

Prior to that trump did almost nothing that he promised on the campaign trail, not that that’s anything new. But he certainly wasn’t different

What?
Do you believe spending wasn’t out of control then? Is it out of control now?
I was agreeing with that poster.

Of course not. He had zero control over anything.

Trumps policies would have been received well but not his antics
40 years ago we did not have social media so Americans did not have instant access to every word. We also did not have to be inundated with opinions posted from every goofball with a keyboard and internet access.
Trump would have never grown into the phenomena that he is if everyone had to go read the newspaper or watch the evening news. It takes more effort now to avoid what passes as “news” than it used to take to actively seek the news.
The whole damn system is broken and both parties use it to their advantage. Wish we could get back to the old fashioned debates.

Of course not. He had zero control over anything.
We can blame covid on the little leprechaun fouchi. He funded the research that brought us covid-19...

It’s not Monday morning QB because people were saying at the time what a destructive agenda the whole convid thing was

Trump increased the debt every year. He spent more that the president before him which is wild.
Thankfully I lived in Florida. We didn’t have much to do with Fauchi after the first stir calmed down.
Ron replaced our Surgeon General and he made the commies mad.
Wish Trump would have sidelined Fauchi but the dems seemed to love him so he stayed on top. I bet Trump regrets that now. Especially giving him the medal. Geesh.

I didn’t take the genetic code injections either
Problem with Monday morning quarterbacking is that I didn't believe the so called experts were right. I didn't believe the mask worked. I DID believe that the virus came from the wuhan lab. However, I still followed the "experts" advice in 2020. Because I was not an EXPERT on the subject. In 2021, I refused the vaccine because by that time the "experts" had been exposed.
We can't use the knowledge we have today to just the actions of people in 2020. We can judge the actions of those "experts" that were intentionally lying to us. For political gain.

You did better than Trump
Maybe when you grow up, you will be able to understand you can't fault other people for doing the very things you do. If you paid attention back then, Trump did not believe the experts either. However, he went along with what they, the media, the democrats and GOPe were pushing. Just like I did and I'd bet you did too.

He sure did. And he he gave them a medal which was nice. I guess.
I’m sure Fauchi appreciated the recognition.

I already looked at all the numbers.
I was surprised that Trump did more to increase the debt than Obama.
Biden is a complete disaster. No argument there.

Why are you so riled up?
The facts presented have nothing to do with you.
If those facts upset you then just avoid them as usual. Geesh
