Does MAGA have a new meaning? Before Trump was elected?

    Obviously things have not gone well under Trump. The economy is in shambles, our National Debt is soaring, and our foreign relations have been turned upside down.

    But I do think the Make America Great Again slogan is actually timely now. We need to turn back the clock to a time before Trump was elected President. So do you think Trump will be dumb enough to keep producing the MAGA merchandise?

    And what will he do with all of the "Keep America Great" junk he has been stockpiling? Clearly no one thinks that the country is in a great place in 2020.

    What do you think? Do you think Trump supporters are going to recognize the cruel irony in their MAGA hats now? Unless they thought that the Great Depression was a great time.

    The economic downturn right now isn't Trump's fault, but even if the economy was where it was pre-virus, I still don't see how Donald Trump has made America great...again. And since he didn't make it great again, he's certainly not going to make America great again again if he's reelected.

    There isn't much that Donald Trump touches that ends up better than it was before he did. That's just how he is. But you'd never know it if you listened to him, he takes credit for everything good, and denies responsibility for anything and everything that isn't. Also just how he is.

    But all that said, this will be Trump's election to lose because the Democrats can't seem to find a better candidate than Joe Biden. What a joke.

    Would you like red corruption or blue corruption?
    That seems to be the options.

    A President doesn't really have to be that much of anything to be a good President. Ronald Reagan was an "airhead" according to his main biographer and a surprising number of his main associates but he was the best President in my lifetime save one because he was at bottom and always a man of good will in the end. Eisenhower put if best. "The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an Office"

    On his worst day Biden has a thousand times more integrity than Donald Trump will ever even think of having. Try to say that isn't so.

    If Trump gets a second term it won't be corruption. It will be the norm.

    your characterization of our current condition and your blaming of Trump for it are flat out wrong.

    we need to turn back the clock to before Obama was elected...

    we are not going to have a great depression, quit overreacting

    Turn back the clock to the middle of the 2008 crisis at the end of Bush's second term? We are already there.

    The financial crisis is better than the race and foreign policy crises brought about by the Obama administration

    But Trump did it in one term. He is soooo much better at destroying things than Bush was.

    LOL, the same tired sufferers are trying to equate a virus with an equity bubble and trying to blame that on Trump. It is entertaining yet tiresome to listen to such obvious irrationality.

    I'd rather be reading about Fergusen and Benghazi from the comfort of my living room sofa, than to be reading about amazing race and foreign policy accomplishments from my tent that I'm living in because all the jobs are gone.

    Trump has been bad luck for America. Plagues, recession, high unemployment. He's like the anti-rabbit's foot. Like Carter, not
    everything is his fault, it's just the way it is.

    well most of that job loss is the overreaction to covid 19 by mostly democratic governors not the least of which is Cuomo..

    you know the guy who put sick people back in nursing homes...
    why is New York not reporting the % of their covid deaths that are occurring in nursing homes????

    LOL the inconvenient idiot talking about how the reopening of America has been botched when it hasn't even been done yet? apparently he can see the future.. DOH!!! i guess not watch his fakeumentary about climate change to know that's not true.

    simple fact democratic politicians are lying about our situation, making it worse, for political reasons to get Biden elected.
