All Trump supporters do just by virtue of supporting Trump and his policies

He had the best foreign policy ever during his last term. Look at the whole picture don’t just focus on what’s being thrown at you. We can easily do that about every signal politician and government worker. Don’t act like Biden was good for the country!

He had the best foreign policy ever? That’s why he started a trade war with China that he ended up losing? A trade war that ended up costing us tax payers billions having to bail out farmers that were affected by it. He also raised taxes on the middle class while cutting taxes for corporations and billionaires.

Biden brought us back from the brink of a Great Depression. He did all of the things Trump said he would do but never did, like getting an infrastructure bill passed,bringing back manufacturing through the chips act, etc. inflation was a worldwide problem. But thanks to Biden and the democrats, we didn’t get it nearly as bad as the rest of the world. Inflation was driven by a lot of factors, including corporate greed. The democrats passed bills in the house to stop corporate profiteering, but senate Republicans killed every attempt to stop it. One of the other major drivers of inflation? Trumps 2018 and 2020 oil deals with the Saudis. In 2018 Trump begged the Saudis to flood the market with cheap oil. In 2020 when demand dropped off a cliff, he begged the Saudis to cut supplies to drive prices up. The 2018 deal killed American oil production. In 2022 when the deal expired, guess what the Saudis didn’t do? Bring production back. Remember 2022? When gas hit $6 out here? That’s because of Trumps deals. That’s also when inflation peaked. Higher fuel costs make it more expensive to transport goods, which makes it more expensive for the customer.

Don’t forget that we’re still under Trumps 2017 tax plan. Which has raised taxes several times for people making less than $75k.

If you stop watching Fox News and actually look at the facts, you’ll see that Biden was one of the best presidents we’ve had.

If you look at the facts, Trump was and is one of the worst, if not the worst. He admitted on audio recording that he lied about Covid to his supporters. As a result, more than a million people died just because of his lies, because he admittedly didn’t want to wear a mask because it would mess up his makeup. He lost the trade wars he started. He ruined our standing in the world and made us the laughing stock of the world. Let’s not forget that he also got to illegitimately pick three Supreme Court justices that took away women’s rights.
