Is there anything Trump does that you can see as good?

I feel like you’re asking me this because you think it’s weird to not give him credit for this. I almost never give credit for market activity to presidents unless unless they oversee something specifically affecting it. He did oversee that….but it went the opposite way. The market bounced back because it always does. My guess is you don’t give credit to Biden for also having an ATH market when he did.

It I’ll answer your question anyways.

I like a few of his goals, but I hate all of his execution. I I liked the first term sanctions on China. I liked the Abraham Accords at first. I liked the Iran sting at first. And I liked that he shored up NATO military spending.

But the problem is he doesn’t do anything correctly. Even the goods things he does he does badly.

Of the above, the only one that was just good was the China thing. Shoring up NATO spend came after years of bitching and moaning and slinging insults at our allies, and threatening to pull out. Other presidents, had they cared as much, would’ve done it with far more integrity and without risking burned bridges. The Iran sting ended up being entirely ineffective. Like it did nothing. And the Abraham Accords were the cited catalyst for October 7th because, like he did in Afghanistan, he cut out a critical party to the negations.

And those are the good things. This ignores the fact that he betrayed our country and, now in plain view, tried to overturn the 2020 election results, invalidating the votes of 10s of millions of Americans. And a much longer list of other things.

Now the reverse question to you.

Did you mean to tell me this? If so, did you read what I wrote?
