What were the steps he took to reduce the deficit? I mean, even if they didn't pass, what were Trump's concrete proposals to do that?
I didn't see him do that the first time around.
His supporters are looking at re-nominating him as a “revenge term.” Look at the language they use. It’s more of taking on RINOs and Democrats than governing. They feel he was ripped off in his first term and they’re not entirely wrong. The two sham impeachments, an investigation based on phony documents, a Hunter Biden laptop story cover up. So in their minds, he’s entitled to another term so he can get back at his political enemies and theirs. While from Trump’s perspective, that’s understandable, that’s not what you want in a president.
They cannot make the case why Trump should get a second term were he can add another seven, eight, or even $10 trillion to an already out of control debt.
Is DeSantis the guy to do it? I don’t know. But I know from Trump’s record and current rhetoric he’s not.
Oh sure, you’ll hear claims like “he didn’t know the system during his first term, but he knows it now so now it will be different.” But there’s no indication any of that’s true
