Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:
- Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
- Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
- 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;
- Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
- US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
- No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
- China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
- US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
- Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
- 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?
I definitely agree he did wonderful things, no question and he wasn’t perfect. However, there are numerous questionable associations, appointments and endorsements (numerous to count) and pivotal moments (such as the debt ceiling) where one is silent that makes you ponder, is this truly the man we voted for and now is silent when his leadership is needed most? His silence on this matter speaks volumes. It reminds me of the politician that instead of taking the lead on matters waits to see which way the political wind blows before taking a stand. That’s not a leader of principle but a leader of coincidence; a sunshine patriot.
