Trump also rebuilt the military with trillions of dollars.
Congress fought him every step of the way on essential national security items like the border wall.
The guy wades into a filthy swamp and fought them all and they couldn’t break him or impeach him or remove him with the 25th Amendment or entice the UN to ‘save them’ from him, and I know of no one else, including De Santis, who could hold up under the constant barrage of attack, let alone accomplish as much as Trump did at the same time.
Here’s more of Trump’s accomplishments.

LIKE HELL HE DID!!!!
He talked a great game about doing this, but he didn't actually do it.
You have no idea the dismal state of military readiness we are experiencing today.
I do.
The area where a President has the most solo power, and the most discretion, are the ones where Trump had the least success. And that's the power over his own staff and federal agencies, regulatory and otherwise.
He picked his own White House staff, and Congress had no say over that. He also gets to pick his own Cabinet and nearly a thousand federal employees with policy making power. Those do require Senate approval, but Trump did not go to the mat even once for an appointee he wanted and the Senate didn't. And, he also had the power to fire anyone in any of those positions that he didn't like, with or without Senate approval.
He just failed at that, and why should we expect it to be any different the second time around? Is he more popular with Congress?? Has he clearly surrounded himself with better, more competent advisers who will know how to navigate and dismantle the swamp? Like who...Mike Lindell for Attorney General?
If by some miracle/divine intervention he somehow managed to get elected against, he'd be even less effective than he was the first time. I'm sure there would be excuses, but they won't change the result.
