    There had been no doubt since March that Trump was going to be defeated.

    Voters would probably have forgiven him for the economic disaster caused by the pandemic if he hadn't been so disastrous, even criminal, in his management.

    For 4 years, Trump's work was never approved by more than 44% of Americans.

    Impossible to be re-elected with such a low rate.

    Nevertheless, a trend is emerging: for the past 28 years, voters have elected a Republican when the economy is doing well and a Democrat when it isn't.

    This says a lot about the level of confidence the Liberals have with the electorate.

    And for the third time since 1992, a Republican has left a country on its knees after taking office when things were going well.

    Thought ?

    I'm just hoping Trump doesn't go all "scorched earth" in the last two months of his term.
    He's proven to be a vindictive SOB in the past.

    Really, It has not been a week since the polling industry proved beyond any doubt to be an arm of fake news and a laughing stock of the planet which we always said it was and you are actually offering them as evidence... dude, puhlease, stop insulting our intelligence.

    I've been thinking about it for months too.

    But what can he do that is really damaging, besides starting a nuclear war?

    Fire Wray and Haspel? They are expendable.

    Several members of its administration are already starting to look for jobs elsewhere.

    However, Trump did lose.

    The Republicans rob the country blind. Then the Democrats are called in to fix it. Once they do the electorate turns it back over to the Republicans.

    Just why this happens this way is unclear. The way in which government should manage spending and debt, in particular, seems to be counterintuitive, seemingly the exact opposite of what an individual or household should do. What is called the fallacy of composition as best illustrated by the paradox of thrift may be factors here.

    I don't think he has the power to do that.

    Are you always this pre-mature?

    This is far from being finalized.

    The Supreme Court and the new Michigan legislative investigation are now in play.

    If he does, it will be the opening shot for the re-election of a Democrat for President. Any Democrat because the Republican candidate will be poisoned.

    Trump just abruptly fired the head of the agency that overlooks the nation's nuclear stockpile. That's a bit unsettling.

    Trump got along with Kim Yong Un, worked things out. You want to go back to how things were before?

    Trump silenced Iran who was being a bully before and blew up a terrorist thug in Solemani. You want to go back to when Iran was a bigger threat? bring back Sulemani?

    Trump decimated ISIS whilst Obama joked about them and let them grow strong. Trump took out its leader. You want ISIS back to where it was under Obama?

    Trump made allies pay their fair share, like in NATO where US was paying up, other countries not. You want to go back to the open wallet doctrine of just throwing money away, for other countries who can pay?

    Trump was against wars and pulled troops out of ME even when his military strategists whining about. You want to go back to wars and more troops policing middle east?

    Trump lowered taxes, you want higher taxes?

    Trump lowered regulations, you want more regulations?

    Trump saved our economy when dems wanted more lock downs... unemployment went up to 14% due to lockdowns, now down to 7%... you want lock downs and 30% unemployment? Before COVID, economy was strongest it has ever been, due, in part, to Trump's policies. And on COVID, what makes you think Biden would've been better? Biden was against restricting travel with China, Europe.. we'd have 2mm dead right now if Biden had been president, and 30% unemployment due to lockdowns.

    Trump was for border security, you want open borders?

    Trump was for law and order and being tough on protestors who are violent. You want more summer of loves as in Seattle when garbage human beings took over city blocks are claimed they were not longer part of US? yet, they engaged in terror from within, shooting people, erecting barriers and impacting people around who couldn't run their businesses.

    Trump made us energy independent and #1 producer of energy in the world. You want to o back to being dependent on middle east for oil?

    Under Trump, we had the cleanest air and waters, cleanest it's been in decades, yet not many talk about this, they talk climate change but ignore this

    Trump appointed constitutionalists to supreme court, you don't want to protect constitution?

    Trump actually provided non-whites an alternative message, ask them to question the democrats, who haven't done much for minorities in inner cities (crime infested, poverty-stricken) even though they have been in control for decades. It's the reason more non-whites voted for Trump than any republican president in decades.. You don't want republicans offering alternatives for minorities? You just want them in a democratic plantation?

    Trump actually did more for blacks in 4 years than Obama did in 8 years. He funded historic black colleges, obama didn't. He passed criminal justice reform, Obama didn't. Unemployment for blacks were lowest ever under Trump. You want to reverse all of this?





    So it's the opposite.. see, Trump was the one cleaning things up but democrats don't like it... they want to reverse course, they hate cleaning things up, they just want power and appease those who like the MESS..

    And I can guarantee that Biden will hire him back, because Trump, if he does that, will appoint an acting director.
