    You can make an argument that some of the things Trump did were successful or positive, or etc. If you like I can enumerate what I think he was good.

    That aside, for what he did with the 2020 election results, 1/6, let alone stealing nuclear secrets and then lying about it is beyond the pale.

    I make no excuses for Trump after he lost the election. He did a lot of things wrong. But when he was in, he turned Obama's failing economy completely around and had one of the best economies right up to being hit by the virus, when most of our businesses were forced to close down.

    gains under Trump best since the Great Recession
    www.cnbc.com/2018/01/31/pay-gains-under-trumps...
    Jan 31, 2018 • President Donald Trump's first full year in office saw gains that easily outdistanced any year for his predecessor, Barack Obama, whose best showing was the 2.2 percent increases in 2016 and 2014. Six of Obama's eight years in office saw gains of 2 percent or less.

    Real median household income has grown by $4,144 or 6.8 percent since President Trump took office, according to an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal.

    This data is based on a report released by Sentier Research analyzing the Census Bureau’s monthly Current Population Survey.
    As noted in the op-ed, authored by Stephen Moore, real median household income is at an all-time high:
    “Real median household income—the amount earned by those in the very middle—hit $65,084 (in 2019 dollars) for the 12 months ending in July. That’s the highest level ever and a gain of $4,144, or 6.8%, since Mr. Trump took office. By comparison, during 7½ years under President Obama—starting from the end of the recession in June 2009 through January 2017—the median household income rose by only about $1,000.”
    The below chart highlights the strong Trump wage growth.

    Indeed, in a bit more than half of his term, Trump’s $5,003 mountain of growth in median household income is 346 percent higher than Bush-Obama’s $1,444 molehill of marginal middle-class earnings. https://www.nationalreview.com/.../income-gap-growth.../

    When you say Obama's failing economy, it just tells us you have no idea what you were talking about.

    Trump rode the coattails of Obama's economy.

    It's not even worth trying to show you, because anyone who would say that is immune to the statistics.

    If you need it explained to you at this point, there is no explaining it to you.

    Yeah other than their testimony while being sentenced, or do you immediately default to "fake news".

    Jobs are doing well now. You also leave out his spending and deficit with that little unemployment was also historical.

    Those tax cuts, SALT, sure didn't help me.

    Finally, him taking Putin over our intelligence services was also over the top

    I will give kudos for the hard line on China, although not everyone benefited from those tariffs. The border issue needs to be addressed, but a wall is ridiculous other than certain areas.

    That statement is irrefutable fact. They already engaged in an unconstitutional surveillance against the aEXACT same entity they are targeting now.

    So, you approve of MAGA violence but consider Trump to have nothing to do with it.

    You really live in a twisted world.

    Dear sweet Mom got pulled over by the HighwayPatrol and complained she wasn't doing anything wrong... the Patrolman answered "we can always find something" . I'd say that is true for you and I where we sit at this moment... If the "law" wants us, will find away to charge us, and the worse part, even if you are able to prove yourself innocent (which isn't at all tjhe way it is supposed to work in the USA.. you know "innocent until proven guilty" and not the way the J6 prosecutors are doing it) It will cost a lot of money and time.. that is lawfare, ......the process is the punishment.

    Did the FBI engage in unconstitutional surveillance against the same entity they’re targeting now or not?

    Did they or did they not KNOWINGLY pay for information which they KNEW was fraudulent and then use said information to justify a warrant or not?

    No, I know what you are going to say, but it doesn't mean what you think it means.

    But go ahead and bring up the FISA and Carter Page as if it is some grand conspiracy by Republicans to bring down a Republican president.

    So they didn’t pay an informant for information they KNEW to be fraudulent and then use that information to get an unconstitutional warrant?
