Never confuse policies with results Pres Trump achieved great results against all the BS the world threw at him.


Great results such as:

Spending more than any President in history

Shutting the country down in one of the greatest subversions of the Constitution in history and turning the country over to Fauci

Fast tracking a vaccine and purposefully pushing it through without any testing leading to god knows how much damage

Giving 400 million to the very Election Commission through the Cares Act that led to his demise

Pushing for a bump stock ban

Letting the country completely burn in the George Floyd riots

The question is a matter of trust between a former President

As a conservative, how can I trust a guy that hired extensively from the deep state, praises Lindsey Graham, sings the praises of Andrew Cuomo, Gavin Newsome and Charlie Crist, and parrots democrat talking points on social security and medicare?

who actually took some action on things like China, trade
except for suspending china tariffs so Christmas gifts would be cheaper for consumers. Sofa king tough on trade!

and immigration
How long did it take Biden to undo everything Trump did? HINT: the issue needs to get fixed at the legislative level, rather than the limited executive level, but Trump completely failed at that. And the legislative climate is worse now for Trump than it was his first term.

So you prefer "establishment" over "outsider"? That's your argument for Trump. Novel to say the least. I'l give you that.

yep, Mitch McConnell.

I think you meant Bob Dole and Bill Frist, right?

What was the partisanship of SCOTUS at those times?

But, also, since they’re all groomers, themselves, they love that Trump supports Disney over DeSantis’s anti-groomer policies and they love Bud Light.
Does your boyfriend know you're saying stupid shite on his computer?

if you take out the $9 billion they still had a $4 billion surplus. Same for the other years as well. Maybe we just see the numbers differently.


uh, budgets carry over one year to the next. DeSantis has a $20B surplus currently, but has received $27B in fed covid money since 2020. His budget last year had a $13B surplus, but had received $17B of fed covid money prior to that budget

Without covid money, he doesnt rack up a surplus either year. Wanna know how I know. Here was his budget before covid
quote:

Economic watchdogs contest 2019-2020 budget surplus. The state will have $223 million extra to spend next year.

The projected surplus is a huge increase over a $1.1 billion budget shortfall that had been predicted last year, but Florida TaxWatch President Dominic Calabro says in order for the surplus to even exist, $392 million has to come out of trust funds designated to fund programs like affordable housing.

He went from a $23M (million) surplus, to a $10B surplus, after the fed covid money rolled in.

Are you ducking the question because you know the answer blows up your point, or because you don't know?

Move the FBI, CIA, DOJ, IRS, EPA, etc out of DC and into different parts of the heart of the country, so they are not made up of lifelong DC swamp creatures and are more connected to the average American and locale


Absolutely hate this idea.

Can we please just abolish these agencies. Why do we want to infest nice red areas with federal beurocrats?

How has having the CDC located in Georgia helped that agency?
