What a strange way the show support, using the word “love”. Does any body else think this is weird?

@jeremymccage9213 All the Mission Act was is a minor amendment to the VA Choices Act. If you consider that the height of Trumps legislative accomplishments fair enough. Interest rates in the US have been on a downward trend for 40 years, Trump had nothing to do with it. Yes Trump lowered taxes and increased the national debt significantly in doing so. Obama's tax cut was larger anyway. Yes inflation was lower under Trump however the US went into recession under Trump as well. It is a myth there were no wars under Trump, there were numerous ongoing conflicts right throughout the world. Did he commit the US to a war, no, but neither has Biden. You obviously have your head buried halfway up your colon. I certainly give the Trump administration a tick of approval for the Abraham Accords. 87 miles of wall, yeah bid deal. So as I said Trump was a very average president.

@brianpaul8572 I have no problems with someone showing support for Trump, I’m just interested as to why. His four years in office were not particularly successful, his economic numbers were just average, his foreign policy was not outstanding, in fact he achieved very little so I’m interested as to why someone might think he will do a better job the next time.

@gooble69 There is no argument illegal border crossings are at 20 year highs, however US customs and border protection data has Trumps third year in office with significantly higher illegal entries than all of the Obama years. I certainly agree Trump signed a surrender document with the Taliban and handed Afghanistan back. Your comment about potential threats is subjective at best and lacks data, but Trump certainly didn't commit the US to any conflicts during his tenure. Your comment about the economy is demonstratively false. Obama's job growth and economic growth were both higher than Trumps as has been Bidens. I have no idea where you get your data, but mine comes from the US department of commerce and uses the same measurements for all three administrations. Again according to US unemployment rates where under Trump it was down to 3.5% in Dec 2019 under Biden it was 3.5% in Sep 2022. Unemployment was certainly at historically low levels under Trump, but Biden has matched those levels, again your claim is false. The US achieved energy independence during the Obama administration, and Trump certainly maintained it, but again your claim is false. Your claim of more freedom is entirely yours and is very subjective, and it is certainly a good thing for you, but many people didn't feel more freedom under Trump. Trump certainly legislated a large tax cut, but he also at the same time increased the national debt proportionally far more than Obama did or Biden has. Obama's tax cut was larger and more targeted at working families than Trumps tax cut which was aimed directly at the rich. I get my news from numerous sources left and right mainstream and social. I also research my data claims. Your claims of Biden being measurably worse are just not supported by the Evidence. So as stated previously the data supports my assertions, Trump was a very average President who achieved little. Trump V Biden? A sad choice, a elderly man clearly past his prime and the other an old man clearly deluded. It is such shame neither side won't put it a better candidate. Haley V Newsom sounds so much better. How good would 8 years of Nicky Haley as President be?

@gooble69 On a minor note. Trump always on about the state of the stock markets when he was President. Where is it at the moment?

@henrywalker116 That might be so, however, they are entitled to express their support for Mr Trump. Nothing wrong with that.

@gooble69 No. In my reply I countered virtually everyone of your points. To argue Trump was very successful is to agree Obama's presidency was more successful and Bidens is just as good. I would certainly not suggest that. All three were or are very average. This is what the data says. You are just completely enamoured with your demagogue.

@gooble69 I shifted no goal posts I compared economic data between the three different administrations and Trump simply doesn't led in any of them. Employment growth, GDP growth, low unemployment. All you provided was vague opinion, what useful economic measure? What is clearly obvious is that job growth and economic growth under Biden have been significantly higher than under Trump. Trumps average annual GDP growth over 4 years was 1.0%. Under Biden it is at 4.9%. You are factually wrong on this point. I granted you inflation and border control and explained under Trump some years there were more border crossings than under Obama. Inflation under Obama and Trump were comparable. You still have not cited a single piece of data or referenced a document to support your opinion comparing the economic growth of Obama, Trump, and Biden.

@gooble69 I said not particularly successful and very average, I certainly agree Trump had some success and never denied this in any of my replies and I provided data to support this fact. I appreciate Trump had to deal with a pandemic, however you deny international influences to Biden. You can't have it both ways. Under Biden inflation is on a downward trend and Biden matched Trumps unemployment numbers. When Biden took office Trump had unemployment at 6.3%. It is a ridiculous argument to suggest Trumps employment numbers are better than Bidens whose Job creation numbers far exceed Trumps. But let's just factcheck Trumps numbers to Obamas numbers over their terms of office. Jobs: Trump -2,876,000 Obama +11,572,000 unemployment: Trump 6.3% Obama 4.7% S&P index: Trump +67.8% Obama +166% Now I could go on and some of Trumps numbers are better than Obamas, but as clearly stated on numerous occasions when you look at the data there is nothing to suggest Trumps presidency was anything other than average, other than his record low unemployment rate which was already on a downward trend and which Biden has matched. Yes I understand Trump made you feel good for whatever reasons, and you need to rationalise that feeling, but trying to do it with economic data of hard facts is not possible. Another thing Trump excelled at was the growth in his four years of renewable energy sources, the highest of any President, but coal mining jobs went backwards 8500, but then carbon emissions in the US fell 11.5% so theres swings and balances. US oil production increased under Trump but the trade deficit grew by 40.5% so again very average economic numbers.

@yvettemoore71 No, it is just weird.

@Tasmanaut Thanks for your honesty. Most revealing.

Would this be the same god that was around for the 2020 election?
