First: his pandemic doubling of the child credit cut poverty in half. Joe Manchin was the one to removed it from Biden’s infrastructure bill.
I’m impressed by Trumps willingness - against all advice from anyone - to negotiate directly with Hamas, Iran and NK.
He may have been one of the few presidents to stand up to the Israel lobby. That goes against years of established thinking. He’s a bit of a chicken hawk most of the time. It turns out his bombing was performative, just as he accepted Irans performative response. He’s an entertainer and kind of treats war that way. I don’t think he understands how it benefitted Iran in the long run, but he’s a stable genius of some kind.
He also single handedly saved the economy under Covid by implementing something like universal basic income in the previous administration. If anyone ever says UBI doesn’t work, we actually have months of evidence to show that it does.
That he was also responsible for its devastation by his incompetence and dismissal of the pandemic plan that had been in place could be overlooked.
The deaths were sad. And when he began to realize that a majority were in red states, he acted upon it.
He got the companies to create a vaccine quickly, even though he doesn’t believe in them.
He also proved deficits don’t matter. Modern Monetary Theory is having its day, in part because of him.
Setting up concentration camps and proposing an internal 45 billion dollar deportation force may not be worth worrying about. I pass as white so I’m ok. I shrug. I don’t want to be deranged by concentration camps.
The impact of cutting all our soft power in the world? Well, who needs to travel anywhere internationally when one has the internet?
He is also a very good president for red states.
He may have been the first president who openly serves primarily white people and has never read the sermon on the mount.
Getting rid of DEI and installing really mediocre people ironically illustrates we need DEI primarily because it forces whites to be better. That wasn’t his intention, but I now appreciate the evidence.
But every now and again, he gets it right.
Given that he doesn’t actually read anything, barely spends time managing, and only feels alive when dominating his enemies, perhaps it shouldn’t matter.
I have a friend who did remark, The election of Trump taught me is that what really matters is spending time in the forest foraging for Mushrooms.
It’s a good practice.
