Can you please point to the policy mistakes of Trump?
I mean, he had trouble fighting the deep state, but who hasn't?
Trump absolutely had this country back on track in Xmas of 2019.
I mostly agree. Trump however wasn't perfect, especially with COVID.
With COVID he did great by letting state and local governments take the lead with the federal government providing support.
However, his biggest mistake was relying on Fauci after Fauci showed he was flipping 180 degrees on masks and other topics. Fauci proved to be a fraud early on. Trump should have fired him within 1-2 months of the pandemic.
With the information available and unknowns, shutting the economy down for two weeks might have been understandable. However, if two weeks didn't slow down the disease, going beyond that timeframe was pointless. He should have been stronger regarding the economic loss vs the transmission of the virus.
His next COVID mistake, which is almost as bad or possibly worse as keeping the Doctor of Death, was signing the COVID relief congressional money grabs. The first one might have helped restart the economy, but the second one was an unnecessary barrel of pork. That uncontrolled spending played a role in the inflation. Once the pandemic was subsiding it seemed that the economy was beginning to recover until Biden and Harris uncontrolled spending on GND malarkey fueled inflation further.
Trump was not perfect, but he was excellent with foreign policy and he handled the economy quite well.
Even pre-COVID he was spending too much. He needed to cut the government before spending money on big ticket items.
Note that on this forum some have accused me of being a mega-MAGA. I believe that with the obstacles that he had from an unfriendly propaganda machine (MSM) and lack of support from both parties, and illegal meddling by establishment agencies, Trump did an excellent job as president. He could have been even better if his own party would have supported him during his first two years. But he wasn't perfect.
