    The economy was doing just fine under Biden, outside of a little additional debt and inflation from solving Covid.

    Trump came in, started throwing tariffs at other countries like a blind man throwing darts, and things went downhill from there. Trump found new uses for the military, costing us billions, while leaving Ukraine in the lurch during their hour of need during an actual war against an actual U.S. enemy. Trump is so thrilled with his new uses for the military that he wants to spend another trillion dollars creating a "dream military", presumably so he can invade any country at any time. He wants to have monuments to himself everywhere, including the White House ballroom, a gigantic arch towering over the Lincoln Memorial, and his own name on the Kennedy Center. He demands military parades on his birthday. He demands peace prizes as bribes so people can talk to him. Criminals are pardoned and set free, while he suggests imprisoning people that don't agree with him. Trump is a clown and a con-man.

    Trump has not actually solved any problems (immigration, inflation, housing, crime, jobs, narcotics, health--he's made most of these things worse), but he tells good lies and claims he has solved them.

    The RINOs kept the 2 extra trillion in waste, fraud and abuse in the reconciliation bill. And added a Dem/blue state billions in SALT deductions because of that New York RINOazz House clown.

    This thread reminds me of dadx4. I miss his self-own threads.

    Bill’s are okay, but they lack the flare and pizazz of a self-proclaimed genius.
