Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:

  1. Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
  2. Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
  3. Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
  4. Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
  5. US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
  6. No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
  7. China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
  8. US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
  9. Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
  10. Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?

Trump did good his first two years when he had the Republican Congress, I’ve always said that, and have thousands of posts here supporting him at that time.

Things started going down for him when he issued the Executive Order banning bump stocks, and his last year in office was the worst year for America in 50+ years.

He wants to blame China for everything related to Covid, and act like the words gain of function don’t even exist, which was restored while he was President. Add in trying to subvert the Constitution on J6, then making off with $250M that was donated to him to secure elections, and I don’t see him the same anymore.

Those are the biggest issues facing us now and he failed miserably. So he’s certainly not worthy of the type of fanaticism you exhibit, which is why my posts seem to upset you so much.
