Truth is I was leery about Trump’s character/leadership/honesty when he was elected (and I was right to be so).
But I had real hopes that Trump would do some good - namely doing what promised:
1) get our military out of the Middle East
2) a $1T infrastructure program
3) improve the economy for the middle class
4) overturn Roe vs Wade
He did none of that.
BTW, Inequality (a long term ill that I have tracked for decades) has gotten somewhat worse.
(awaiting 2019 DATA)
Instead he has:
1) lied to the American people to the tune of
2) sided with authoritative leaders around the world
3) displayed cruelty at the border
4) ignored scientific and academic experts in favor of his arrogant “gut”.
5a) mishandled the pandemic. Statistics show that ~98.5% of the deaths could have been avoided if we followed the stringency South Korea followed and ~70% avoided if we followed what Germany did) . Sorry but that is what the DATA shows.
5b) all in name of protecting the economy which has flailed anyway (much worse than the 2008 recession)
5c) and Trump has shown little leadership in bringing relief to millions of Americans
Even today he is:
1) focussing on election grievances (the worse election loser in US history)
2) raising money for himself
3) perhaps stoking a violent insurrection (Proud boys, etc “standing by”, Trump loyalists planted in DoD) - let's hope not.
IMHO he has been the worse President in American history and we must end all remnants of Trumpism (mainly ensconced in what used to be the Republican Party)/
