No matter how you cut it, things were better when Trump was President.

Joe Biden has the reverse Midas touch. Everything he touches turns to shit.

OnPolitics: Americans say they trust Trump over Biden on the economy, exclusive poll shows

An exclusive new poll shows Americans favor Trump over Biden on economy

Not much was better when Trump was President.

• 500,000 Americans dead from a mismanaged pandemic
• Farm crops rotting due to Trump's tax on consumers, which he called tariffs on China
• The disrespect of our allies
• Russian influence over Trump
• Trump disparaging our intelligence services, taking the side of our enemy
• Trump showing no respect for our military, our veterans, and our war dead
• 8.1% unemployment rate
• The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 40.5% from 2016.
• The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million.
• The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.
• Home prices rose 27.5% (bad), and the homeownership rate increased 2.1 percentage points to 65.8% (good, if you value home ownership).
• Illegal immigration increased. Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose 14.7% last year compared with 2016.
• The murder rate in his last year rose to the highest level since 1997.

There is some good in here, but it's outweighed by the bad.

Trump did not invent or create COVID. He did help the development of a vaccine at “warp speed“ which amazed a lot of experts.

If a new strain of COVID as deadly as the first strain appears or the Chinese accidentally or on purpose release another virus under Joe Biden’s watch, you of course will not blame Joe Biden like you just blamed Trump.

Governors had a lot to do with handling COVID. The Governor of New York State at the time, Andrew Coumo, was responsible for many deaths while the Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, did a great job. You of course will disagree.

Operation Warp Speed was a huge success. So why is the US turning away from it?

A determination to remain slow on Covid and future pandemics.

In the spring of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered job loss in the labor market on a scale not seen since the Great Depression. A year later, the economic situation had improved. Approximately 60 percent of jobs lost had returned, but employment was still down compared to pre pandemic levels.1In an effort to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic affected labor market experience, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) fielded a short supplemental survey to gather information from its sample members on work and working conditions, among other topics.

So.you admit Trump is a serial felon, then. Since this fantasy wouldn't excuse his acts, evn if true.

No, I have said that with all the investigations launched against Trump he should be in prison today if he was as bad as you say.

Democrats are guilty of making charges up and throwing them against the wall to see if they stick like spaghetti.

a collection of top-secret intelligence documents on Russia went missing. Who knows what else at this point is gone, $9 million cheap.

Joe Biden had classified documents in his possession all the way back to his time in the Senate.

Trump argues he was authorized to take the documents. It is possible he is right. You of course will disagree.

Trump is a demon compared to Biden, Clinton, or Obama.

It must be nice to live in the fantasy world With all your wonderful mainstream media trying their best to save Joe’s ass.

The vaccine would have been deployed more quickly and more effectively if Trump had not interfered with its development.

Joe Biden had classified documents in his possession all the way back to his time in the Senate.

Trump argues he was authorized to take the documents. It is possible he is right. You of course will disagree.

With Biden, a handful of classified docs were found among a large mass of records. The difference here is Biden's lawyers and team fully co-operating with authorities. Trump had ignored requests to return docs, ignored subpoenas and then lied about having them.

The Presidential Records Act requires records created by presidents and vice presidents be turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) at the end of their administrations. Also former presidents dont have authority to keep any other classified docs. Is not my opinion, its the law.

Apparently California wants to follow in their footsteps. Surprise, surprise.

Of course nothing Trump ever did would get any credit from Democrats who suffer with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome).

Why Trump's Operation Warp Speed is credited with helping race for COVID-19 vaccine​

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/operation-warp-speed-trump-pfizer-moderna-vaccine-1.5806820

Operation Warp Speed, a Trump administration initiative to manufacture COVID-19 vaccines as fast as possible, should be lauded as a successful endeavour in what has otherwise been a poor effort to deal with the coronavirus, experts say.

"No doubt, Operation Warp Speed is a huge success," said Tinglong Dai, associate professor of Operations Management and Business Analytics at Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School in Baltimore.

"You can like or hate the Trump administration, but no doubt, it's a huge success — unprecedented success."

Jesse Goodman, the former chief scientist of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, agreed that the U.S. government deserves credit for the high priority placed on Operation Warp Speed.

"This is a bright spot in the pandemic response. I mean, the rest of it has been dismal," said Goodman, who is also director of Georgetown University's Center on Medical Product Access, Safety and Stewardship.

Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, also lauded Operation Warp Speed for being a "success — certainly in the arena of vaccines, it's been a success" in his remarks at a recent virtual summit organized by the medical news site Stat.

Operation Warp Speed Was a Tremendous Success. Let's Build on It

Our national stockpile should be used to strengthen essential American industries—not to foster greater dependence on China.

www.newsweek.com

One year ago tomorrow, President Trump launched Operation Warp Speed (OWS), a bold scientific initiative that resulted in one of the greatest medical achievements of the modern age. It ranks alongside President Kennedy's Moon Shot in its audacity and is virtually unrivalled in its results. Thanks to OWS, our nation developed three safe, effective and life-saving vaccines at record speed. This incredible feat of science and medicine should be celebrated and our nation should seek to codify it and replicate its success in additional fields of pandemic response.

The successes of OWS are even more remarkable given the sheer number of mistakes made by public health experts during this crisis. Leading figures like Dr. Fauci started the pandemic by telling Americans that masks didn't work, but then they demanded that we wear two of them even while outside. They advocated for protracted lockdowns that resulted in the sharpest economic contraction in American history and opposed every attempt to ameliorate these restrictions. They negligently delayed the return of children to the classroom, even though the clear evidence showed that it was safe to do so.

While I was sounding the alarm early last year, these so-called experts denounced a travel ban on China as racist fear-mongering—yet they now admit it saved thousands of lives. When I questioned the Chinese Communist Party's alibi that the pandemic started in an outdoor food market and pointed out that it was far more likely that the outbreak started in a lab, these experts and the liberal media wrote me off as a conspiracy theorist. They have now been forced to reassess their naïve conclusions, as evidence mounts that the initial outbreak started at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The experts were wrong about a lot: the severity of the virus, its origins, its metrics of spread and the proper way to respond to it. But President Trump and Republicans in Congress had the foresight to see the best way forward: rapid, effective vaccine development.

When Operation Warp Speed launched last May, many scoffed at its name. The talking heads on CNN, ABC and MSNBC derided the possibility that a vaccine could be approved on an accelerated timeline. After all, no vaccine in history had been developed in under four years, and many believed that a coronavirus vaccine could take as long as a decade.

In the months that followed, the Trump administration did the impossible and produced not one, not two, but three vaccines at warp speed. The last administration slashed through regulatory red tape, forged historic partnerships with the private sector and harnessed the full power and resources of the federal government.

Yes, when Biden took over the program became warp speed. Thank you, Dark Brandon.

Maybe Trump has the right to declassify documents. Maybe not.

Trump himself said they were secret, so they were not declassified.

as crew wrote...

According to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s federal indictment, Trump kept highly sensitive documents about military and nuclear capabilities of foreign countries and US military contingency plans in some truly absurd places at Mar-a-Lago. Not only that, but he allegedly showed them to civilians without security clearances, while indicating that he knew he wasn’t allowed to. When the DOJ subpoenaed him, Trump indicated to his lawyers that he wanted to cover up his possession of the documents.

The seriousness of those allegations go way beyond violating the Presidential Records Act, which is why he was charged with (among other things) willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, corruptly concealing a document or record, and false statements and representations, all of which are felonies.
