    Robust Recovery? Don't make me laugh.

    You have to understand that you are trying to debate/go against Data and in that case, you will lose every time.

    Even then and comparing Trump to other presidents, this is where he is overall:

    You cannot fight Data, no matter how much you try. It is pure biased belief you are working with.

    No, competency is measured in numbers and data that cover everything from economics to quality of life.

    Many inherit money and lose it. He enjoys financial success, held the countries highest office, and owns real estate. (Both real property and real estate in the minds of many.)

    I wouldn't vote for him or Bloomberg.

    If we didn’t want incompetent people in office, we’d stop electing them.

    So is the next bar with the greatest increase in GDP in the history of the country. The quarter Biden took office it was 6.5%. Like in 2009 hew blew it with his polices leading to horrible inflation and a technical recession when we should be booming in a full POST COVID recovery.

    Take out COVID else your comparison is invalid.

    You can't fight context there is a saying "lies, damn lies and statistics"

    And Biden's better?

    The Constitution establishes the requirements for Presidents. Let's leave it that way.

    Unfortunately, special interests always get involved and their money pushes the good people out. We only get choices that never include the good people. Money is the real bad guy here.

    Bottom line is for the 3 years prior to the pandemic, Trump was not able to get it going any better than Obama did.

    You cannot find ANY data that supports your contention. I have all the graphs that show that he not only was not special but lees than even average.

    As far as the polls are concerned, I included them because they are from experts on the subject. They know more than I do and as such, their polls do a better job of proving what I say than anything that I can put up myself. Neither you nor I are experts. They are. You do not give value to experts in their own categories? You know more than they do?

    ~ Exactly what is your point.. ? You could say the same for almost every president since I was born. Your standards are not the holy grail — neither is anyone's.
    Society is dumbing-down. Elected politicians will reflect that. Until people start to pay attention, think for themselves and demand accountability our government will continue to be incompetent.

    You first link didn’t even work. You can’t even post working links so quit patting yourself on the back. None of what you posted can deny the fact that Trump done everything I mentioned. Not only that he stopped Russian aggression which was reignited under Biden…. Again

    Sure, but we need real solutions. A competency test seems like one of the most least likely things to get added to the constitution.

    There was a time when the question about competency would never have entered my mind, given that I felt that just to get to the point of nomination to be president, a person had to have a certain amount of competency to begin with. Nonetheless, that went out the window with Trump. Everything I have read and seen about him screams incompetency. In fact, I do believe he is into autocracy and even into being a dictator and that doesn't turn me off as much as the fact that even with that, he failed miserably. I mean, Putin, Xi, Kim Jong-Un, Maduro, and Castro were all dictators and autocrats and yet they do deserve a certain amount of respect for them being successful at it. Trump failed at it totally.

    Here is the link. Evidently when I put up at first, the link was already attached and then putting in the link a second time, it made it not work

    As far as your statement about Trump having done everything, including stopping Russian aggression, all I can do it laugh. That is so factually untrue that it makes me wonder if you have any ability to seek the truth of things.

    It is the job of the party nominate mentally competent candidates. And having said that Harris could run, but Biden could not.
    The DNC and it members is guilty of political malpractice.

    ~ If you think that Trump-O was a dictatorial president, then you must love the current WOKE administration .

    Current administration is the furthest thing from a dictatorship that it can be. I have no idea how you can think that. Just goes to show how the status of knowledge and common sense of Americans has disappeared.

    Obama, Russia forcefully took crimea
    Trump, no Russian expansion
    Biden, Russia took more of Ukraine continuing their land grab.


    If that’s wrong please tell me the land grabs made under Trump

    Speaking of “haters” why are you accusing “Trumpers” as you call them, murderers?
    I’ll put non accidental deaths on the border up against your blue cities any day.

    Look at the economic results, not your b̶u̶l̶l̶s̶h̶i̶t̶ misformed list. Promise 1 billion things, do not implement one, irrelevant. Just look at results, simple as.

    Take the climate, we have to compare climate and co2 to the past, to records, the Left demand it. So compare Obama's economic recovery to past data, it was sluggish. But but but......

    Some people are just gullible and blinded because they hate Trump, every other president was brilliant. So avoid reality, avoid facts and carry on with your d̶e̶l̶u̶d̶e̶d̶ misinformed thoughts.

    It Trump's presidential results were crap, I would say they were crap. But he out performed Obama and Biden. So I can't agree with your hurt feeling thoughts.

    Well things were pretty good thanks to the Reps taking over Congress in the years before and Trump made it even better which is extremely more difficult to do when you already have low unemployment. Obama and Biden produced the WORST recovery in modern history so I wouldn't choose them as your examples of great fiscal and economic policy.
