What part of Trump's first administration was not conservative?

Was it:

  1. Low inflation?
  2. Low unemployment, especially for blue collar work?
  3. Rising real wages?
  4. Standing up to China and tariffs?
  5. Building a wall and having the most secure border since the 1960s?
  6. Cheap gas, super high oil production?

That is an incomplete list but please tell us what is not conservative about any of those things?

On balance, Trump’s term in office was a net positive for the country, especially with his three excellent appointments to the Supreme Court. But there were deficiencies as well, including spending months standing behind Fauci and scarf lady. At this point, that’s all history. The important factor looking forward is that the voters in the swing states that abandoned him in 2020 are not coming back to him in 2024. To expel Biden / Harris will require a fresh voice without all the hysteria and controversy. From all appearances, DeSantis fits that bill. Trump carried Florida by 3%. DeSantis carried it by 19%. DeSantis can appeal to moderates and independents (like Glenn Youngkin did) and still govern as a conservative.

Overall, Trump accomplished a number of positive conservative outcomes

But to answer your question, what might be a far left “achievement” for President Trump? -—

—— The December 2020 national debt is holding for you on line $13,000,000,000,000

Proof?

Manhattan Institute is conservative BTW
