Following is the Season’s Greeting from the former President of the United States to the people of America. It is in all caps just they way he posted it on Truth Social.
“HAPPY EASTER TO ALL, INCLUDING THOSE THAT DREAM ENDLESSLY OF DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF DREAMING ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE, THOSE THAT ARE SO INCOMPETENT THEY DON’T REALIZE THAT HAVING A BORDER AND POWERFUL WALL IS A GOOD THING, & HAVING VOTER I.D., ALL PAPER BALLOTS, & SAME DAY VOTING WILL QUICKLY END MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD, & TO ALL OF THOSE WEAK & PATHETIC RINOS, RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS, SOCIALISTS MARXISTS, & COMMUNISTS WHO ARE KILLING OUR NATION, REMEMBER, WE WILL BE BACK!”

Sad.
The undeniable truth is that you have shown unwavering support for Trump. There has not been a single outrage that you have not tried to spin away. There has not been a single lie of his that you have not repeated. Your denying your loyalty is what prompted me to post the well-know aphorism.

So Trump is a self centered, egotistical jerk. We all know that. There are a half dozen better choices the GOP could make for 2024.
The sad thing is that even as bad as he is, from a policy standpoint, he is still a lesser evil than anyone the Democrats have to offer.

It is laughable how glibly you dismiss the lunatic ravings – far beyond being a jerk – of the person you have supported through thick and thin for several years now. Your “lesser evil” blather is hyper-partisan nonsense. There is nothing any Democrat could do or has ever done that did even a fraction of the damage this jackass continues to cause. A bedrock of a functioning democracy is respect for the truth and respect for the rule of law. You people have abandoned both.

Trump’s policies were successful until COVID came along as a Black Swan event.

What policies were those?
Tax cuts increased the deficit. Bank deregulation was instrumental in the recent collapses. A deal to get out of Afghanistan was terrible enough for him to saddle the next administration with a mess.
Trade war with China cost consumers and farmers a bundle. Talks with N. Korea flopped.
A healthcare bill that never materialized. “Infrastructure week” was a running joke.
He was offered a deal to pay for his wall and reneged.
Then the election fiasco including trying to extort election officials, planning 1/6…
Hard to define a successful presidency, COVID or no COVID.

Wow, you start off bad and get worse.
Tax receipts increased after the tax cuts. Liberals assume they would have uncreased more without the tax cuts ignoring the economic growth they spurred.
What deregulation do you think caused SVB to buy too many low interest government bonds?
But opinions are just that. The results were the first increase in median income in 40 years and record economic improvement for minorities.
Up until COVID, we had the strongest economy for the middle class since Reagan.

“ Deficits — Trump left office almost four months after the U.S. recorded its largest annual deficit of $3.1 trillion in fiscal year 2020.
That historic shortfall was mostly the result of the coronavirus pandemic, which reduced government revenues and spurred massive government spending (and borrowing) to help the nation cope with the economic and public health challenges of the pandemic. But, prior to that, annual deficits had consistently risen under Trump, going from $585 billion in fiscal 2016 — the last full budget cycle before Trump’s presidency — to $984 billion in fiscal 2019.”

From the WSJ,
“During Trump’s first three years in office, median household incomes grew, inequality diminished, and the poverty rate among Black people fell below 20% for the first time in post-World War II records. The unemployment rate among Black people went under 6% for the first time in records going back to 1972. ”
Aren’t those things Democrats claim to want?

That’s all great news no matter the party. Remember, though, the trajectory of jibs was already rising at a nice rate with record consecutive months of jobs growth. The corporate tax cut gave a bump in profits and some one time bonuses that were good. But all that leveled off before the pandemic.
The hiring and wage increases since the pandemic are very good and needed the fed to slow them down.
Presidencies are often rated by crises and how they are handled. You can blame Fauci all day long, but the buck stops with the #Liberate politicization of COVID and, of course, the presidency.
Obviously we will never know how another president might have done, but uniting the country against a common enemy like COVID would have gone a long way to ensuring another term for Trump. IMO he did the exact opposite because he saw COVID as a roadblock to his re-election and not as a crisis for the American people.
It is easy to be president when things seem to hum along. Any office manager could do the job. When the poop hits the fan determines winners from losers.

Bullshit.
There was no economic growth that was not already in the cards when Trump came into office. You make this dishonest claim again and again and it is bullshit every time. There is no magic moment. There is no discernible inflection point in economic activity on Trump’s watch. Until the collapse. Trends established in the previous administration while it was reducing deficits were continued. Period.

“Trump’s policies were successful until COVID came along as a Black Swan event.”
Uh, no they were not. They were disastrous. Len has already listed the massive failures so I will not repeat what he said.
And the biggest disaster of all was Trump’s ignorant, dishonest, deadly, divisive, and self-serving response to the pandemic which cost this country hundreds of thousands of lives. You can try all day long but you can never make #LIBERATE Michigan, #LIBERATE Minnesota, or #LIBERATE Virginia go away.

Note that manufacturing jobs rose until early 2019, then leveled and started to dip by the end of the year.
Follow the graph past the pandemic and we are way above the best Trump had today.
PS: it may be that Fauci had some seemingly contradictory messages early on when the pandemic was surging and supplies were so short healthcare workers were using trash bags for protective gear.
But #Liberate was never a good idea except for politicizing the pandemic by Trump to fire up his base.

Bullshit.
Did Fauci tell Trump to do his best to curb social distancing measures in Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia? Did Fauci tell him to spread the word that Covid was no more serious than flu and would soon be gone? Trump even admitted to Woodward that he was lying to the American people when he downplayed the danger.
