Fell for what? An inane, nonsensical post from you?

Okay.

Paul Ryan literally retired from politics rather than help Trump lmao


Agreed, but he is still the president and he campaigned on removing Obamacare and replacing it with a better plan. If you are going to expend that much political capital early in your term, you better make sure it’s successful, and part of that is having a new plan

The stock market started soaring the night he was elected because of consumer confidence soaring and knowing that taxes and regulations were about to come down. He’s about as directly responsible for that as any president can be even if it wasn’t the result of actual policies

The stock market is booming now.

Since the 2020 election, the S&P500 has risen by 32% and my portfolio is at the highest it's ever been. Are you suggesting that Biden is responsible for this then?

He had a shitposter's heart. If he could have toned down the shitposting, he would have had a slightly easier time.

I don’t really credit or fault Biden for either the current soaring stock market or the inflation. The whole country was shut down last year so of course the economy is flying and prices are rising. In general I agree with your previous argument that presidents don’t really impact the economy all that much, but in the case of the stock market exploding the night Trump was elected, I think it’s pretty easy to see why

His overinflated ego probably was the thing that did him in.
Still, with that said...he was the best President I've ever seen in my lifetime. He did rock it!

He criticized the 2 Bush wars too much. He didn't need this point to get elected. The Neocon wing of the Repub. party undermined him and prevented his re-election.

This. He trusted the wrong people on the virus.
His downfall was his weakness, no understanding of medicine and no one in his corner to trust with it. They knew he had to listen to FaucXi, and they executed their plan perfectly......so far. But all it takes is one good slip up (Coumo is still alive) and the entire house of cards will come crumbling down.



ETA: Did I mention Biden's wife is a Dr?

Like Democrats shutting down cities and killing business left and right? Yeah politics have no impact on business. Where do you get this dumb crap. And gov policy has no impact on the stock market? Like lowering corporate taxes? Nice roofing business you have there. Keep picking up employees from home Depot.

No replies were necessary after this. I can't come up with any outside of Grenell and Kayleigh. Maybe Pompeo if we're talking cabinet also.

I didn't say that. I said successful people adapt and thrive. And unsuccessful people can't handle change. So they fail and blame politics.

Or, more than likely, they sit at their keyboards and never try. Because "the secret government big business monopolies are in bed with the cabal and the deep state so the little man can't make it so there's no point."

Meanwhile, the USA prints thousands of new millionaires every single day. No matter what the political climate is like.

I never said I was entitled or expected to. You said that. I said my taxes didn’t go down, but rather up under Trump. Are you being purposely obtuse or are you just stupid?

I think you got me wrong. I voted for and loved every second of Trump's presidency. I know there is a swamp and I know We the People have not been represented by anyone on the federal level other than Trump, since Reagan. I also know they killed JFK and attempted to kill Reagan. They just cheated to get Trump out. People rally behind assassinated presidents, and they didn't want or need that this time
That being said, Trump is weak in the medical field and they know it and took advantage.

I would not call you dumb (though you meet much of the criteria).

Just loud. And ill informed. And boorish.

1. He didn't immediately fire/force resign every single senior military commander promoted by Obama. This should have been done on 01/21/2017.

2. Giving Fauci a platform and continuing to trust him. He should have fired Fauci into the sun about a month into the rona response.

3. His SCOTUS picks suck.
