He's made these claims. The trouble is that he's a compulsive liar who has always made outlandish and exaggerated claims about his results. Here's some reality for you to choke on... Quote Let us examine the success in the first three years of his administration before the coronavirus flattened the economy. The unemployment rate fell less than 4 percent, which was near the lowest in half a century. The inflation rate fell to 1 percent, which was even below the target level set from the Federal Reserve. This has kept the interest rates on mortgages and many other loans down to the lowest level in modern times. The portion who fell below the poverty line declined to the lowest level ever recorded in 2019. The wealth of households, including their stocks, savings, and real estate, rose to the highest level in history. The Census Bureau saw the median income rise to above $65,000, up by more than $5,000 in three years and double the gains from the last decade. Almost all of these benefits were most pronounced for minorities, notably Blacks and Hispanics. Liberals counter this record by saying that Trump is now the first president in modern times to lose jobs in four years. This was clearly a result of the pandemic and, unless the left blames Trump for the coronavirus, the critical issue is how well the economy rebounds. https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/535048-donald-trump-had-an-economic-record-that-will-be-remembered/ Like the typical cowardly cultist...you lie and cheat. Had The Rona not hit, the full 4 years of the Trump Presidency would have finished with insanely good outcomes for all...especially the minorities. On the other hand...Biden has seen the end of The Rona and has managed to squash any recovery potential with his stupid-ass green bullshit. Inflation is on the rise again, the oil reserves are depleted, the Saudis laugh in his face and the world is now closer to a nuclear war than it ever has been before. Way t' go Brandon...ya m0ron! As for you. Pfft...go find another skirt to hide behind. The Rona no longer covers your lyin' bullshit. Edited September 11, 2023 by Nationalist Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

So what you've proven is that it's ENTIRELY third world. You couldn't come up with a single example of someone jailing their political opponents before an election or the like.

SpankyMcFarland Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 Unfortunately, political parties in the US have taken the role that religious sects used to play. There can be no middle ground. When a person changes party these days, they tend to renounce their old beliefs with a fervour that is unwarranted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
