Whoa! You are seriously uninformed.

We’ve never seen a more conservative in his every action.

There is nothing conservative about sitting back and watching the federal deficit explode while the economy is good, as it was under Trump.
US Deficit by Year

The new sections of wall wouldn’t even exist without 45 so checkmate on that one buddy.

Incomplete border wall = taxpayer $ spent without obtaining the protection that only a complete border wall can bring. And this is supposed to be something we're celebrating as an accomplishment?

Regarding the wall:

You are now informed.

This is how much wall Trump did manage to build and what Biden did first day in office.

Afghanistan

Under Trump there were only 2,500 Troops in Afghanistan. The country was relatively stable and NOT A DAMN TERROR MECCA as it is now under Banana Republic Biden.

Troops KIA under Trump we're very few, especially the last year and a half. The Taliban did not pull the bull shit they pulled under President Dim.

Trump Tax Cuts for the Working Class

https://news.yahoo.com/irs-data-prove-trump-tax-130007569.html


A careful analysis of the IRS tax data, one that includes the effects of tax credits and other reforms to the tax code, shows that filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $15,000 to $50,000 enjoyed an average tax cut of 16 percent to 26 percent in 2018, the first year Republicans’ Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect and the most recent year for which data is available.

Filers who earned $50,000 to $100,000 received a tax break of about 15 percent to 17 percent, and those earning $100,000 to $500,000 in adjusted gross income saw their personal income taxes cut by around 11 percent to 13 percent.”

This is from ANTI-Trump Yahoo, consider yourself informed.

Locking up Hillary, well thanks to California we have Pelosi ruling the country. Thank you Californium for the most destructive Speaker in this country. Shame on you California! Shame!

Shame on the Democrats for two impeachments and lying about Russia, Russia, Russia.

Balancing the Budget: I don't remember Trump promising that he would balance the budget. I do remember Trump promising he would take on China. He damn well did.

Under Trump we were energy independent and most important a swing supplier.

I can go on and on.

I am aware that the Rats did everything in their power to obstruct Trump's wall. I am also aware that we held the House and Senate from 2016 to 2018, during which time the Rats lacked the seats to stop Trump's wall. That tells me that either Trump couldn't even unite his own party or that the wall wasn't a top priority for him.

This is how much wall Trump did manage to build and what Biden did first day in office.

According to the link you provided me Trump allocated $15 billion to build 458 miles of wall, mostly in places where barriers already existed. The length of the US border is 1,954 miles. I'll let you do the math.
Length of US Mexican border

Under Trump there were only 2,500 Troops in Afghanistan.

That's 2,500 more than he promised there would be. Had he honored his promise to get us out of Afghanistan entirely, it would not have been left to the idiot Biden and would have been done with fewer American lives lost.

Locking up Hillary, well thanks to California we have Pelosi ruling the country. Thank you Californium for the most destructive Speaker in this country. Shame on you California! Shame!

I'm not sure what your point here is. Neither I nor JimRob nor any other Californian Freeper voted for Pelosi.

Again, not sure why this is addressed to me, as none of this correlates with what I posted.

The having the Turtle Run Senate on your side does not mean much. You forgot all the lawsuits against the building of the wall.

Number of Troops

The 2,500 investment with no casualties was a good investment.

Trump followed the military brass’ advice at minimum Troop cost and Afghanistan was stable.

Biden did not follow the military brass’ advice. Enjoy your “No Troops in Afghanistan”. Biden kept the promise. You should be happy.

Posting the same links again doesn’t change the fact that Trump only built 458 miles of border wall out of a 1,954 mile border. If he spent $15 billion building those 458 miles that’s $32,751,091.70/mile. I thought Trump was supposed to be good at negotiating the price down. Or perhaps he is and just didn’t care about the future generations of Americans saddled with a $1 trillion plus deficit.

Every politician in existence has faced resistance. I’m just suspicious of those who spend more time on Twitter whining about what victims they are than actually doing good for their countries.

Read the links. There were numerous lawsuits preventing the building of the wall.

You and dummycrats have a lot in common.
