@HoraceGreenley you idolize him not I

@Kypro i don't idolize him. That's the difference between the Left and Right. the Left needs to deify its leaders and therefore assumes the Right must do so as well. It's human nature to assume others are like yourself.

I'm not a fan of Trump as a person. I am a fan of the job he did as President. I'll tolerate his personality to get the results we had.

But don't confuse me for a moment as sharing any personality traits with the Left.

@HoraceGreenley name 3 positive things he did for the us? (Not himself)
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@Kypro Off the top of my head:

1. Median income rose to all time high. Median income fell under Obama.

2. Unemployment fell to record lows, particularly among minorities.

3. GDP growth reached normal and supernormal levels during his administration. This was really important since GDP growth fell to below normal levels under Obama.

Individuals were hurting under the Obama administration due to low, and negative GDP growth and falling median income. People got poorer under Obama. Things returend to normal under Trump.

Operation Warp Speed to get the Covid vaccine was a miracle, considering how drug approvals normally occur.

@HoraceGreenley what policies caused those?
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@Kypro Cut taxes
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@Kypro Altered the approval process of the FDA.
Kypro · 51-55, M
@HoraceGreenley cut for high income so he could avoid more

@Kypro that comment only indicates your lack of knowledge about the tax code.

Please stop. You are embarrassing yourself

@SW-User Before COVID-19 hit, and the economy contracted, GDP got back to normal levels under Trump. The last quarter before Covid-19 was above average.

However the total term under Trump was greatly affected by covid.

@HoraceGreenley you’re making an ass of yourself. Look at jobs created before trump and after. All he did was make the rich richer. It’s cool if you’re in the 10% but stop lying to everyone about helping them when he didn’t.

@HoraceGreenley The Laffer curve as presented is simplistic in that it assumes a single tax rate and a single labor supply. Actual systems of public finance are more complex, and there is serious doubt about the relevance of considering a single marginal tax rate.[4] In addition, revenue may well be a multivalued function of tax rate; for instance, an increase in tax rate to a certain percentage may not result in the same revenue as a decrease in tax rate to the same percentage (a kind of hysteresis). Furthermore, the Laffer curve does not take explicitly into account the nature of the tax avoidance taking place. It is possible that if all producers are endowed with two survival factors in the market (ability to produce efficiently and ability to avoid tax), then the revenues raised under tax avoidance can be greater than without avoidance, and thus the Laffer curve maximum is found to be farther right than thought

@HoraceGreenley the economy was collapsing when Obama came in. (Great Recession). He cut unemployment from over ten to five% and left a stable economy for trump

@HoraceGreenley the total term under trump was greatly affected by Covid?? I don’t recall trump entering office in 2020😂 Obama strengthened GDP massively since coming into office immediately after the crash (caused by Republicans), and Trump inherited a strong economy that was only getting stronger.

The only president whose term has been greatly affected by Covid is Biden, and GDP is rocketing. #inconvenienttruth
