    Sure he did, but one with a pencil sharpener, four propaganda media outlets and seven trillion dollar injection vaccine and cure ;)

    As for the "If kissing and hugging and sex are all you are concerned about then get rid of lockdown and catch the disease. Not my problem." mine either, but we are not alone in the U.S., ARE WE :)

    See all those minus those are points where stimulus money ran out and those high points, those were injection points :) The lows are what was really happening in his Presidency and the highs were the illusions point purchased with trillions of debt to convince his Mc Donald working base of economic growth and how good they had it under his minimum wage economy..

    Or as he loved to call it "The new Norm" ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    If sex is more important to anyone than life itself, then the US, and others, are in a poor state.

    7 million dollar injection was necessary just to keep the USA ticking over and then progressing Like the UK you had mandatory payments you had to make and then other debts which had to be paid. For some years expenditure exceeded revenue income. You can't pay bills if the money isn't their.
    Trump has reduced tax income but is expanding expenditure. He will soon be overtaking Obama's total. Your debt is the highest ever and expanding rapidly. The fact that you had, before Covid19, the smallest number out of work is little to do with Trump. The UK and other countries are the same. It's mainly down to Global growth and trade. When there is a slump jobs will disappear. .

    That's been addressed in the last reply?

    I

    It was a bit of levity to start with and not the topic? So why are you pushing that narrative. Again, it was levity after I addressed the topic and you're using it to derail the thread..

    We done now?

    Glad I'm not the only one feel this. Americans expect the president to be their next messiah and be an absolutely perfect, wonderful absolute ruler and commander and so on, while they ignore and almost universally condemn Congress. It's like we've grown tired of/frustrated with democracy and are actively trying to establish some kind of dictatorship.

    Trump is the worst President we have had in our lifetimes, he takes no responsibility, blames everyone for his failures and wants constant praise

    Corporatism has taken over the country and shipped our jobs overseas and the right blames the worker for not being able to make enough - Trump rewards the corps for their greed with mega tax cuts

    your right though, Americans did expect too much from this reality star President, he just was not up for the challenge of being President

    Why answer the question when you can lay a hyper-partisan insult on the President and those who support him?

    Not much we can do to help a blind person who refuses to see, so don't expect any cred or sympathy here.
    Best president in decades, probably in your lifetime, assuming your attitude is related to your age.

    Do you really need us to tell you what is wrong with the post?

    That's a ridiculous accusation.
