    I can understand the words he is saying, but I get lost in the parenthetical rabbit trails he goes on and can't follow what he is trying to say/mean. Not to mention his frequent overuse of adjectives like "great" "biggly" and "perfect"

      Is there a single senior member of Trump's cabinet who hasn't subsequently said really bad things about him at this point? Trump claimed he's great at appointing "the best people."

      Yet pretty much every single one of those "best people" came away from working with him saying he was absolutely awful.

      Trump's Attorney General Bill Barr argues that Trump is such an incompetent scatterbrain that if you want someone to implement the policies Trump claims to stand for that the last person you'd want to appoint is Trump because he's too incompetent to actually implement them.

      Biden, for all that he's clearly too old and needs to go out to pasture, hasn't inspired the level of panic-at-his-incompetence in the people around him the way Trump did.
      "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
      "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
      "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

        And yet, as a simple side-by-side comparison of Trump's Administration with old Joe's, indicates that it is the current one that can't do anything right.

        Case in point, the Afghan bugout. It would seem that you and old Joe are the only ones on this planet who would characterize it as an "outstanding success."

        And under Trump we got the Abraham Accords and the Serbia-Kosovo deal whereas old Joe was literally greenlighting Putin's invasion of of Ukraine -- as long as it was a "minor incursion."

        And look at how Biden has thoroughly bungled his own reelection campaign

        Trump may be a mess, but I'll take that mess over the catastrophe brought about by the return of the "experts" and "grownups"

        I'm always still in trouble again

          Yep. The reason Trump didn't get some things done was mostly because from day one the Democrats went nuts and spent 100% of their time trying to impeach him and block anything he wanted to do. He definitely tried to keep all of his promises, a first for a politician that's for sure. He tried to build the border wall for instance but congress blocked him.

          And as I have said before, under Trump my retirement IRA skyrocketed. Under Biden it has been steadily dwindling. Even with my 20% contributions I am barely staying even and it is slowly losing value. Sure part of that can be blamed on COVID spending and lockdowns, but a lot can be laid on Biden and the Democrats shoulders also. They have put the country and economy in turmoil with their 'green' threats and plans, and unfettered spending and the stock market has been volatile every since.
