Because the media did a terrible job of reporting it. I’m amazed at how few people realize the records he set:
- First President in history to serve a full term and increase the deficit every year he was in office.
- First President in history to maintain a debt to GDP ratio over 100% for his entire term
- Highest annual budget deficit
- Most added to the national debt in a single term
- Most new unemployment claims
- Largest single day point drop in the history of the Dow
- First President in almost a century to lose jobs in his first term
- First major party candidate in half a century to lose the popular vote twice
- Longest government shutdown in history (and he did that while his own party controlled both chambers of Congress)
- First President in the history of approval ratings to maintain a net negative approval rating for his entire term
- First President to be impeached twice
- First President to have bipartisan support for his conviction after impeachment (which happened both times)
- Most indictments, guilty pleas, and criminal convictions of members of an administration
And again, that’s just a few of the records! There are so many more things he accomplished! He flatlined a strong economy even before the pandemic. He wasted millions on golfing (with much of that going back to into his own pockets). He wasted millions more rebranding part of the Air Force to look like Star Trek cosplayers. He wasted billions more on an idiotic vanity wall that’s already falling over.
He told tens of thousands of lies. He violated the Emoluments Clause and the Hatch Act more times than I can remember. Plus he sabotaged our operations in Afghanistan, sabotaged gas prices with an idiotic deal with OPEC to create a global oil shortage, forgot what country he bombed at least once, tweeted a classified a photo, and he committed a war crime by ordering the assassination of an Iranian general in violation of international treaties.
Then there were all of his brilliant ideas that were never realized. Like preventing wildfires by raking the forests, nuking hurricanes, and treating Covid by cutting open people’s lungs and wiping them down with Lysol and letting them dry in the sun. Just think how much more he could have accomplished if those godless liberals hadn’t stopped him from suspending the Constitution and declaring himself President for life!
I am a democrat and DO know what Trump Accomplished
- Significant harm to our relationships with our trusted allies around the world. A weakening of international trade, trust, and respect.
- significant increase to the wealth of billionaires through the destruction of the middle class
- A huge increase in the deficit
- A destruction of trust in democratic institutions such as the supreme court, the media, the intelligence and federal law enforcement communities, the congress and the presidency itself.
- An end to civility, truth, rationality and respect in our national discourse.
- The traumatizing of thousands of babies, young children and families by breaking up families fleeing famine, abuse, and death and legally seeking asylum….the ripping of babies out of the arms of their mothers. Many have still not been found and reunited with their parents.
- the creation of a harmful trade war though tariffs and protectionism. Dealing us out of a vital asian trade deal, leaving the door open for China to become the dominant player in Asia.
- Tremendous harm to our fragile environment through the dismantling of environmental protections and his denial of catastrophic ,manmade climate change.
- Damage to migrating birds, endangered species, whales, and habitat
- A huge increase in hate, hate, hate and more hate. …..anti LBGBT hysteria, Antisemitism, Anti hispanic, violence against Asians. Violence against women, the oppression and deaths of persons identifying as transgendered.
- The humiliation and shaming of political opponents, Calling a former sexual consort “Horseface”, etc.
- Collusion and cozying up with Russia and autocratic thugs such as Putin and Bolsinaro.
- Irreparable harm to our economy.
- The exacerbation of severe and crippling polarization of our political system.
- The unnecessary deaths of many hundreds of thousands of Americans through the spreading of lies and ignorance regarding the pandemic.
- The spreading of the “Big lie” that the election was stolen and the fostering of a violent attack on our nation’s capital. An attempted coup and unlawful subversion of an election.
- Bringing us closer to thermo-nuclear annihilation, by ending the Iran Antinuclear treaty with Iran.
- We could go on and on for hours in enumerating his “accomplishments”. How much time you got?
