Let me be clear: the president of the United States had every right to question the counting practices, lack of transparency and rules changes without legislative approval leading up to his defeat. Questioning government is a critical component of American culture and society. It's part of why a Republican form of government can work.
The problem today is that too many people ignore facts and history and regurgitate "talking points" from agenda-driven elites who control the "means of communication".
When the president of the United States is not "allowed" to inspire legal and peaceful protests, then we no longer live in a free country.
When tech billionaires are allowed to go unchecked deciding which speech is allowed and which isn't all the while enjoying the protection from liability from the federal government, then we no longer live in a free country.
When mobs of armed protestors with black shields and incendiary devices can walk unchecked through cities and neighborhoods forcing closures, destroying stores and homes, assaulting and, in some cases, killing people, driving police officers from their precinct buildings and stopping medical care from reaching people behind the rioters line, then we no longer live in a free country.
How did this happen? There are three reasons, in my opinion, that the president failed. At every turn, he had the opportunity to right the wrong, but didn't. President Trump could have solved and even prevented much of what we are now experiencing. Unfortunately, he did the opposite of what he should have done. His Oval Office speech about violence this week was the capstone on a lost war that leaves the rest of us to pick up the pieces and rebuild.

TYPO - TRUMP’S PRESIDENCY -SORRY
You might want to get that typo in the title corrected posthaste....
Lead, follow or get out of the way. The author should stop hand-wringing.
ROFL
MAO
Thump gonna thump U.
Three reasons: Democrats, Journalists, and RINOs.
I reported it; hopefully a mod will be along shortly to fix it.
Here are the three reasons:
Reason #1: Instead of following Fauci, Birx and Redfield, Trump should’ve fired them.
Reason #2: Trump should have actively sought justice for the lies about collusion and the campaign spying done under the previous administration.
Reason #3: Trump should have aggressively shut down the violence from Antifa/BLM with the military.
Thank you👍
Agreed. It was in fact, extremely successfuk.

I agree. My only other comment is he wasn’t a very good dictator. He let Hillary go unpunished. And he didn’t declare martial law when the left was burning looting and killing all summer.. I’d say he is the best President in my lifetime based on his accomplishments despite nonstop attacks from those you mentioned.
Thank you! I was going to post that exact same thing.
I agree with all of those. Wonder, especially, why he did not do #3. I wish he would have, but I do not call his presidency a failure.
PDJT45 did not fail.
Did Polk’s one term presidency fail? I didn’t think so.
My comment #13 was intended for you.
I don’t think it failed. It was thwarted for a second term by the same elements that he defeated in 2016; mediacrats, Obama beurocratic holdovers, Soros’s money as well as extra legal voting as a result of covid 19. But, in my mind, the greatest challenge to a second term was his lack of a trysted political organization behind him. Much of his problems were due to not knowing who to listen to or trust.
1. Did not realize the extent of the swamp. 2. Lousy advisers a d appointments. 3. A lousy legal team
It didn’t fail.
