Their object of veneration’s loss in the 2020 presidential election that he still cannot handle has triggered their contempt for the democratic process, law enforcement, our justice system, and the U.S. Constitution.
Why they worship the grievance-mewling, narcissistic sexual abuser is a mystery to many.
What did the faded reality tv performer do as President that instills such fanatical passion, causing them to lash out irrationally at anyone who cites the empirical data?
Let’s put aside both the mindless adoration as well as the moral repugnance, and dispassionately assess Trump’s actual accomplishments as president:
He vowed to build a “big, beautiful wall!” across the Southern border. He insists that he did, but actual evidence of his fake claim cannot be found. In fact, Illegal immigration increased. Apprehensions at the Southwest border had risen by 14.7% in 2020 compared with 2016.
Despite his having brayed that he would revive the coal industry, during his tenure coal production declined 26.5%, and coal-mining jobs dropped by 16.7%
He repeatedly screeched that he would “repeal ‘ObamaCare’ and replace it with “something terrific that covers everybody at “less cost!”, but three million Americans lost health insurance coverage during his tenure, and the Affordable Care Act remains the law of the land, and became more popular than ever.
2020’s Loser promised to end the military farce in Afghanistan, but perpetuated the Bush fiasco throughout his four years.
He boasted that he would create jobs, but unemployment soared under Trump, and the nation’s economic upsurge occurred only after he had been dumped by the American electorate. Under Trump, the economy lost 2.9 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%.
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 federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.
Trump’s recently demanding that his Congressional lickspittles scuttle bipartisan legislation that addresses border security so that the crisis can persist and th President can be blamed evokes Trump’s own impotence in the matter:
Rightest Congressman Chip Roy: “We're not just going to pass the buck and say, 'Oh, any president can just walk in and secure the border. "I saw former President Trump make that allegation today on one of his social media posts: 'All a president has to do is declare the border is closed, and it's closed.'
"Well, with all due respect, that didn't happen in 2017, '18, '19 and '20. There were millions of people that came into the United States during those four years.”
So, hysterical rage against Americans who do not venerate Trump aside, what do Trumpers cite as his stellar achievements during his tenure?
