[@acason4]

@@paullampert6990 Almost all of them!!!! When he left office the economy was in free fall, unemployment ballooned from 4.6% when he took office in 1/17 to 6.3% in 1/21 when he left office. He gave tax cuts to the wealthy (the Top 1%), while actually raising taxes on the middle class over 10 years, he tried to get rid of the ACA without ever proposing any type of plan to replace it, he loaded the supreme court with delusional, right-wing, religious zealots who have now over turned a woman's right to choose which had been the law of the land for the last 50 years, he's the first President in US history to leave office with a record of 2.9 million in jobs LOST during his administration, he constantly appointed totally unqualified idiots who he then fired. He presided over the 3rd highest Presidential deficit in US history while also ballooning the national debt to a staggering 28 trillion adding 10 trillion in ONLY 4 years!!! As a point of comparison Obama was handed a poor economy in free fall from Bush & served 8 years & only added 8 trillion. Trump's entire cabinet was like a revolving door of ill reputes of people in/people out, he's been convicted of sexual assault, he's an idiot that's clearly in cognitive decline. He complained about "election fraud" despite all court cases being dismissed for a lack of ANY evidence supporting that claim!! He called for a "suspension of the Constitution". This is just the tip of the iceberg!!!! Let me know if you need a deep dive on specific facts regarding any particular point.

[@rap4880]

​@paullampert6990 - All of Trump's policies are bad, because they're based on lies & propaganda. His immigration policy was a disaster. 1. Trump didn't care if you are a refugee, a person seeking employment, or a criminal crossing the border illegally. He treated every immigrant as if they were all criminals. 2. His policy of separating minor immigrant children from their parents was illegal, immoral, dehumanizing, & emotionally traumatizing for both the children & their parents. It was also a public relations disaster for Trump. There was nothing he could do or say to make the policy seem good. Over 5,000 families were separated before the policy was ended. Of course, the parents got lawyers & sued the US government in federal court. To prevent the court from imposing a massive money judgment against the US in the hundreds of millions of dollars, the Biden administration has agreed to reunite the families, & pay for counseling, medical care, housing, education, work permits for the parents, & yes, a pathway to legal status so the families can stay in this country, probably as resident aliens, temporary protected status or refugee status (short of citizenship). Shall I name another of Trump's policies that was a complete disaster, or have you had enough?

Donald Trump apparently told a half truth about being sent to the military academy for striking his mom. Trump's parents were apparently given a choice between their son being tried for raping a teenager who lived a few blocks away from the family home or they could send him to a military academy to straighten him up & to protect the family name. However, he did hit his mom after she raged at him for being a rapist...

Lawyer Roy Cohn is best remembered for the role he played in the trial and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953, his support of McCarthyism, and for his later anti-homosexuality politics and affiliation with President Ronald Reagan. In the new HBO documentary Bully. Coward. Victim. The Story of Roy Cohn, filmmaker Ivy Meeropol (the granddaughter of the Rosenbergs) explores the man's life and legacy, from the "open secret" of his sexuality, to his connection with Donald Trump, which would end up having a lasting impact on world politics three whole decades after his death.

I believe in one of those programs one of the congressional committees was questioning Mccarthys budget, ie : travel expenses, and staff. One of the staff members in question was Cohn’s boy toy. If you watch closely when they’re asking McCarthy why this other gentleman was needed to travel with the group, Cohn is literally squirming in his seat, getting REAL nervous, perspiring, as if he were about to be outed. The guy was a complete jerk. Trump’s main course of action when on defense is to delay delay delay , the ultimate Cohn strategy. His hypocrisy while they went after commies and homosexuals reminds me of another hypocrite: Newt Gingrich, the big headed pioneer who started the fall of a once good, party of Lincoln. Taking on Clinton while doing the same damn thing and the soul of a weasel when asking his cancer stricken wife to sign divorce papers as she lay in recovery after surgery related to terminal cancer. N The end result: serial liars like Stefanik, cro magnon species like Marge Greene, Bobo the theatre pole dancer, Gym rat Jordan, Beavis Gaetz to name a few.

Trump's statement indeed sparked controversy because it appeared to prioritize the denial of Russian interference from President Putin over the assessment of the United States intelligence community. Despite being briefed by top officials, including Dan Coats, who affirmed Russia's involvement in the election interference, Trump's remarks seemed to indicate a preference for Putin's denial. This perceived siding with Putin over the consensus within the U.S. intelligence community raised concerns and led to widespread criticism. Critics argued that Trump's stance undermined confidence in American intelligence agencies and appeared to weaken the United States' position in confronting Russia's actions. Additionally, it fueled speculation about Trump's relationship with Putin and raised questions about his approach to handling Russia's interference in U.S. affairs.
