Quick question - Is America great yet ? What's taking so long ? I would think maybe after 2, maybe 3 years Trump would have made America great, but no, it's 4 years now and he's made America the exact opposite of great. He's failed.
Also, other countries HAVE figured out Covid-19. Australia, New Zealand, and even China has figured it out. Why can't the Trump administration ? (answer : he's more concerned about being re-elected). And to bad-mouth Fauci ??? What the hell ? Also, you just can't say "grab 'em by the p*ssy" and get away with that - and that's just ONE example of him disrespecting women (there are MANY more). Again, we'd all lose our jobs if we said just ONE of those horrible things. Why can't you see that ? Do the women in your life know that you are OK with voting for and supporting this sexist ? And how about that "stand down stand by" quote on the white supremacists. Yeah...what a great guy.
Anybody who backs him needs to do some soul-searching and needs to re-evaluate their lives.

Kritter, You asked.
Well, for ME it really is all about POLICY for the United States of America … not against something, but rather for real actions taken and real results achieved…accomplishments.
Here is my summary of why I have already placed my vote for Trump:
I) Help for the poor, underprivileged and minorities:
Here are the facts concerning Trump and the African American community as reported by Farah Stockman, member of the editorial board of the New York Times.
• African Americans benefit because unfortunately many, according to Associated Press research cited in 2018 by USA TODAY, are in low-paying jobs…the lowest-paid 25% of Americans had a 4.5% income boost in November 2019, outpacing gains for the country’s highest-paid workers.
• Pre COVID-19,
§ African American unemployment was at an all-time low.
§ Hispanic-American unemployment is at the lowest rate ever recorded.
§ Asian-American unemployment recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded.
§ Women’s unemployment recently reached the lowest rate in 65 years.
§ Youth unemployment has recently hit the lowest rate in nearly half a century.
§ Lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for Americans without a high school diploma.
§ New unemployment claims hit a 49-year low.
• Median household income hit highest level ever recorded.
• Under President Trump, 7 million people have come off food stamps.
• The Pledge to America’s Workers has resulted in employers committing to train more than 4 million Americans.
• Trump signed the first Perkins C.T.E. reauthorization since 2016, authorizing more than $1 billion for states each year to fund vocational and career education programs.
• Under Trump, poverty rates for African Americans and Hispanic Americans reached their lowest levels since the U.S. began collecting such data.
• Trump signed the groundbreaking First Step Act, a criminal justice reform bill that made our justice system fairer and helps former inmates return to society.
§ More than 90% of those benefitting from the retroactive sentencing reductions in the First Step Act are African Americans
§ The First Step Act’s reforms addressed inequities in sentencing laws that disproportionately harmed African Americans, and reformed mandatory minimums that created unfair outcomes.
• Removed the onerous Penalty for individuals who are unable to pay for Health Insurance, saving individuals thousands of dollars
II) Put America First / Economic Improvement
From an economic standpoint, the Trump administration has made great strides.
• Under Trump’s leadership, in 2018 the U.S. surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest producer of crude oil.
§ During 2020, Trump negotiated with Russia and Middle Eat Oil suppliers to reduce Oil production to stabilize the oil industry …directly preserving American jobs while keeping fuel prices low
• The Trump administration made a deal with the European Union to increase U.S. energy exports to Europe.
• It withdrew the U.S. from the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership, a major change in trade policy.
• The Trump Administration secured $250 billion in new trade and investment deals in China and $12 billion in Vietnam.
• It approved up to $12 billion in aid for farmers affected by unfair trade retaliation, but announced a total of $28 billion in aid for farmers in 2018 and 2019.
• Since Covid 19 arrived from China, the economy is now recovering. The pace of the recovery is slowed by Democrat run states not opening their economies. Why can’t we do both??
III) Protect our Borders
President Trump is fulfilling his promise to build a border wall, with an expected 450 miles will be finished by the end of 2020.
The new wall has contributed to a 56% overall decrease in the number of illegal migrant arrivals at the border.
Under President Trump, the U.S. Border Patrol has arrested hundreds of members of dangerous gangs.
The Administration has made it a priority to end human trafficking and is using many resources to do so.
The Administration provided funding to support the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
The Anti-Trafficking Coordination Team (ACTeam) initiative more than doubled convictions of human traffickers and increased the number of defendants charged in ACTeam districts.
40 missing woman and children were rescued from human trafficking operations outside of Atlanta
In April 2017 the FBI arrested 150 pimps and rescued more than 100 exploited teenagers involved in sex trafficking. Taken together, the raids, which took place in more than 70 cities, constitute the largest FBI action focused on finding sexually exploited children.
RICHMOND, Texas – Dozens of people involved in human trafficking in Fort Bend County have been arrested and charged in a sting, authorities said. According to authorities, “Operation Patriot” took place over four days in September and was a collaborative effort between 23 agencies and resulted in the rescue of five victims and 46 arrests.
IV) Foreign Policy

• The United States has successfully decimated ISIS.
