For the 10th thousandth time,,,,,,, DJT increased the deficit quicker and more severely (actual and inflation adjusted) than any POTUS in U.S. history to that point.
If you call that being a "Great POTUS", I'd hate to see a bad one.
I think many of the supporters just see the debt going up and think that’s trivial. It’s not. The debt is rising faster than GDP and Donald Trump was a contributor to that
And it’s not just his previous four years. What he’s proposing now is scarier. He wants to pressure the federal reserve to lower interest rates. He wants even more tariffs on top of the ones that he enacted his first round. He wants to weaken the dollar yet not that long ago, he said a strong dollar was good for the country. He wants more spending.
I don’t think his supporters are aware of any of this. Or worse, they don’t care. They’ve convinced themselves that their movement is a movement to save the country and nothing will stand in the way of that delusion. It’s comical. But they believe it with all their heart
You have some that would be OK with the idea of Tulsi Gabbard being his vice president. That should tell you a lot right there
It’s too bad that Ron DeSantis didn’t get any traction. At the very least, it would be interesting to hear his position on these issues and what his plan would be to correct the trajectory we are on and how his policies are different from those of either Trump or Biden
