You asking for facts and logical answers when the argument you are stepping into is based on emotions and illogical things

Taxes
Can you expound? Because corporate tax cuts are one of the first things brought up as to one thing he’s done wrong and that is slowly running the economy into the ground (looks good now, but not sustainable). I’ve had a liberal friend of mine send me numerous articles (from Forbes, Money, Freakanomics, etc) discussing those cuts and why they are bad for the long-term.
Also, tariffs. They seem to be roundly criticized by financial pundits.

Borders
America first
Less regulations
Tough on trade
Trust the American people
Lowered taxes but I am still mad about my tax bill from 2019
Howard freaking Stern just signed a contract with XM that will pay him 120 million in 12 months... 10 million a month!
I don't understand but it makes me feel like an utter failure in life...

Inherent Value of the man.
Donald Trump made his fortune through industry.
Joe Biden made himself worth over $100MM with only a congressman & VP salaries.
This is also why I would much rather see Joe Biden's tax returns.

I Support Trump because:
Jobs, unemployment numbers, taxes, Made in America, welfare cuts, judges, protecting 2A, getting out of Paris Climate Accord, draining the swamp, cutting regulations, getting NATO partners to pay, CHYNA, Right to Try, ending Obamacare, THE WALL,
To name just a few.

Corporations don't pay taxes. They pass them on to their customers.
If you hit US companies with taxes and roll back the tariffs we tilt right back to favoring foreign goods and losing US manufacturing.
Capping the state tax deduction was important so that well run states don't subsidize poorly run states.

Plus, when Trump cut corporate taxes it allowed for more jobs and raises. There are tons of small business owners that specifically cited this as the reason they were having record years.
They of course we're hit the hardest with Lockdowns and riots. It's funny how it worked out perfectly for Dems in an election year!!!

Good answer.
So, I pretty much know the answer, I guess, but why do these financial gurus all want to sell these as bad?

Yeah, I think what the other side is trying to sell is that while the cuts may ALLOW for this, the corporations are largely NOT doing anything besides putting the extra money back in the pockets of their CEOs. I think the disconnect exists because we assume these positive things will happen, but we hear quite often about the obscene profits that are taken by corporate administrations with nothing handed down to the average worker and no change in pricing for the consumer.

Tariffs that hurt american agriculture and oil&gas issues.
Alienating our allies undoing 50 years of post ww2 policy
Slavish fascination with dictators.
Subverting the Justice Dept to be his own personal lawyer.
Creating a crisis on the border, using kids as political tools.
Passing a tax deduction with no way to pay for it.
Tanking the economy with his lack of coherent Covid response
Sending in the feds to Portland to restart the protests to fit his law and order strategy.
Bringing back the federal death penalty for the same reason.
All of the selfish brutish behavior.
Incessant lying.
Refusal to call out putin on the bounties
Hiding tax returns

Virtually every argument against Trump that I hear is about muh feels. He's a jerk, he's unpresidential, he's racist. When you ask for details, you get crickets.
The only arguments that you get details on are easy enough to turn around on those idiots. Stuff like covid where Trump has cost us 2Billion lives or whatever they claim yet they're voting for a candidate and party that was actively encouraging Asian travel while things were ramping up.They also argue the rioting and looting is Trump's America. . . It's insane they ignore the fact that the worst of the worst human beings are in liberal stronghold towns.

Economy!!!
Neutered Obamacare and removed the individual mandate.
Made us energy independent.
Built the wall.
Removed us from foreign wars we had no business sticking our nose into.
And, again, its the economy, stupid!

Robby Starbuck has a long running list on Twitter. And it is rather long. Not sure if he has it pinned but if I get a chance I'll post it here.
