“Trump failed to build a wall”

Only to someone with an axe to grind does building 450 miles of new border wall constitute, failing to build a wall.

“[Trump] failed on repealing DACA”

Trump’s DHS rescinded DACA. His recission was challenged, and US Distric Judge William Alsup placed a temporary stay on the order, pending the outcome of the appeal. On June 8, 2020, SCOTUS ruled against Trump in a 5-4 decision.

At the time of the decision, Ginsburg was still on the Court, as was Breyer who were both joined by Roberts, Sotomayor and Kagan in the majority decision. Trump’s efforts to work around SCOTUS’s decision were cut short by the outcome of the election.

“[Trump]failed on improving Obamacare”

Trump signed legislation to repeal the individual mandate. A complete repeal was torpedoed by John McCain. Undoubtedly, full repeal would have been achieved by DeSantis /s.

“[Trump] set the country up for trillion dollar annual budget deficits.”

Riiiight. It wasn’t Bush or Obama. It was Trump

Trump has had more success than any president in fighting the Uniparty. To judge him as below average because he wasn’t able to reverse everything in four years is not the judgement of a serious person. And to believe that DeSantis or any other professional politician would have had more success is beyond foolish.

[Only to someone with an axe to grind does building 450 miles of new border wall constitute, failing to build a wall.]


Trump’s administration built 52 miles of new primary border barriers — the first impediment people encounter if they’re trying to cross the southern border with Mexico, that can block access either for people on foot or for vehicles — where there were none before.

The administration built 458 total miles of primary and secondary border barriers, U.S. Customs and Border Protection data shows. The majority were replacements of smaller, dilapidated barriers.

Replacement barriers and secondary barriers that are behind primary barriers don’t add additional miles to the southern border’s total coverage. And when voters heard he would build a wall, they thought he meant from sea to shining sea.

As to the rest, it’s got the air of “France wanted to, but did not win the Battle of France, because the Germans were just too strong”. What everyone remembers is that Trump failed, that he wasn’t capable of doing what he claimed he would.
