Trump

The recent presidential debate has brought my ability to see both sides of an issue into question. Several of the pundits complained that one of Biden's failures was his inability to remind people of what things were like when Trump was president. Trump did not send anyone to prison even though many thought Hillary Clinton's actions warranted some investigation. Trump felt that the 2020 election was rigged but he followed the law and left office peacefully. For the first time in many years the working people saw their wages increase faster than the cost of living. Minorities and women saw the lowest unemployment rates in history. Inflation was under 2%, thirty year mortgages at 2.5%, gas under three dollars, energy independence, migrant border crossings at low levels, crime under control, a plan for peace in the Middle East and no wars. If Trump is elected he will follow the plans that he used when he was president the last time. He will increase fossil fuel production to the maximum, close the border by bringing back remain in Mexico, stopping the catch and release and demanding that Mexico secure their border with Guatemala. He will reduce regulations to help companies reshore, stop forcing people to buy EV's, move away from wind and solar and toward nuclear, negotiate a peace in Ukraine, demand that European countries take on more of their own defense, continue his plans to increase import taxes on goods from China, back Israel to end Hamas and begin the process of deporting illegal migrants. I thought it was good strategy for Trump to remind people of what things were like when he was president. The liberals fear that Trump will end democracy, bring back Jim Crow, put his enemies in prison and become a dictator for life but he didn't do any of these things when he was in office the last time.
