... Trump would like to be remembered for his handling of the economy, including instituting a massive tax cut for corporations and the country's wealthiest citizens and lifting regulations that had held many corporations back.
But while Trump has been a master at controlling the narrative in his time, history runs its own course.
Presidents facing major crises, for instance, are invariably judged by how they rose to the challenge of resolving them.
Given the patterns of history, it is likely that Trump will be remembered primarily for the central crises of his administration. The first is the COVID-19 pandemic, the worst health calamity to befall the nation in over a century. While Trump can't be blamed for creating the pandemic, he will be held to account for allowing it to spread unchecked with no coherent plan.
But even more so, Trump will be remembered for the other crisis of his administration, one very much of his own doing: baselessly challenging the integrity of a presidential election that led to the seditious siege on the Capitol on Jan. 6. The commander-in-chief stirred up a mob to take down the federal government as lawmakers convened to certify the election in an attempt to overturn the will of the people. The attempted coup is a black mark that even the Teflon Trump can't dodge.
Both tragedies are reflective of the former president's deficient character. Divisive by nature, Trump came into the presidency an angry insurgent, and that's how he governed. Sowing the seeds of doubt, discord, and ultimately destruction, he trampled on democratic norms; exacted revenge and spat vitriol in the bulk of his 34,000 Tweets; and told a whopping 30,573 lies, according to The Washington Post. In many ways, Trump seemed downright anti-American.

They are writing the narrative, telling you what you are supposed to believe.
why are you always posting bullshit like this.
We had a vaccine for a virus we hardly knew existed at the beginning of the year he should receive the Nobel prize for medicine just for that
Analysis?
ABC doesn’t do analysis.
ABD does propaganda, disinformation and dirty tricks for the Dem Party.
Who takes advice from Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck? Poor Walt. Poor Walt.
All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.
It might very well be that literally every word in the history books, even the things that one accepted without question, was pure fantasy.
History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
Thus history is continuously rewritten. This day-to-day falsification of the past, carried out by the Ministry of Truth, is as necessary to the stability of the regime as the work of repression and espionage carried out by the Ministry of Love.
Sowing the seeds of doubt, discord, and ultimately destruction, he trampled on democratic norms; exacted revenge and spat vitriol in the bulk of his 34,000 Tweets;.....That’s why I voted for him.
3.5% unemployment with almost zero inflation under Trump before Covid hit. Let’s see how close China Joe comes to those numbers.
At least ad a barf alert to this bile.
Pelosi has quite a legacy: two failed impeachments, tearing up a State of the Union speech on national television and creating a severely divided country.
ABC ANALYSIS = Shake Magic 8 Ball
ABC - Anything But Credible.
Yeah, I stopped reading when the author asserted that the tax breaks were only for corporations and the very rich. I’m neither and sure did appreciate it.
I never got a job from a poor man. Unleashing the American economy via deregulation and encouraging repatriation of American corporations by reducing one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world was needed to create jobs for the American middle class that had been globalized by the Uniparty elites. As for the charge of a poor response to Covid, name one country or one leader in the world who was able to protect their population from this pandemic.
Still with the same old lie. The tax cut applied to everybody who PAYS taxes!
Because most FReepers don't read the source newsrags, and would remain unaware of the bullshit they publish? Know the enemy, know yourself, you'll win more often.
We know who they are. This is a political forum..🙄
