Expound, please.

Compare his term with the one we now have with an open mind, that should do it.

Energy, border, unemployment, SCJ picks, the list could go on and on.

For you to make the statement that he doesn't talk policy is simply childish.

I am a grownup. Fossil fuel extraction has set records in under Biden’s administration.   Trump’s trade policy is a disaster. Most leading economists agree that his tariff proposals will crush the middle class. He did nothing to solve the immigration crisis. Quite the contrary, he directed his minions in the Senate to crash a bipartisan House proposal because he was scared it might work and take his biggest megaphone away. He is an abject failure. Who goes bankrupt in the casino business? A winner?

lol, wow!

SCJ picks stolen from President Obama. Unemployment was what, 10% when he left office. I’VE BEEN WATCHING HIS SPEECHES. He is not talking policy.

[HuntersLaptop2028]

So when is trump going to

 

- repeal obamacare 

- show his big healthcare plan

- balance the budget

- tackle the debt 

 

He had 4 years and all he did was add $8 TRILLION DOLLARS to the debt.

now he wants 4 more years?

There you go again, you know he left in the middle of covid, but choose to leave that little detail out.

But keep watching, you'll learn something.

I was just waiting for that one. Covid was his biggest leadership failure. Had he come out for masks and social distancing from the start, he’d be completing his second term now. Instead, he sowed doubt and confusion (his specialty) that placed our fatalities number one in the world. Not a list a leader wants to top.

Wrong again, had he not shut down foreign flights while being called a xenophobe by your party, it would have been much worse.

And I see you still think painters masks and 6 feet would have stopped transmission, smh.

His doubt and confusion you refer to are probably low cost solutions that were proven to be effective but couldn't make money for big pharma.

You would do well to read RFK's book on Fauci rather than spew democrat talking points that are untrue.

Can you enumerate the results, please?

1. Energy (Data from March 23):

To date, the average gasoline price during President Biden’s term — with nearly two years still to go — is $3.60/gallon. That is on a pace to be the highest average under any president. Here is how prices stack up per gallon, from lowest to highest average for their terms:

Joe Biden (partial term) — $3.60
Barack Obama first term — $3.12
Barack Obama second term — $2.95
George W. Bush second term — $2.77
Donald Trump — $2.57
George W. Bush first term — $1.59

2. Immigration: I mean, do you really need a chart on this one? It's kind of embarrassing for Biden/Harris

For context a June 2024 CNN poll:

"But on the subject of immigration, voters were asked if they think Biden or Trump would better handle the issue if president. Just 28% of voters prefer Biden, while a significantly higher 50% prefer Trump."

3. Trade (Sorry, this is the best I could do with the space I have. Kind of a large topic): The YouGov poll found 42 percent of Americans somewhat approve of Trump’s approach to foreign trade, 11 percent higher than Biden’s 31 percent. At the same time, 28 percent strongly or somewhat disapprove of Trump’s trade policies, while 36 percent said the same about Biden’s policies, per the survey.

Sorry, he doesn’t want facts. He’d rather dodge them and spew hatred, something his party claims is bad.

What would Kamala do when confronted with Israel/Iran/Hamas? Look at the rioting already. Businesses have shut down. That’s a notch against economy. Her administration cancelled sanctions against Iran. Look what is happening.
 

What will she do about Ukraine/Cash Cow? She can’t handle Putin. She only knows Ukraine is a big country surrounded by other countries. What a joke people are who stand for this ignorance.

She can’t talk policy because all she has is Trump hatred, just like those of you on this board. It’s all you got. Pathetic

Oh yeah, I saw unleaded regular for $2.65 today. Gas down, inflation down, interest rates poised to drop - trends look good to me.

Nope, but I followed NIH guidelines from the start and I haven’t got the Covid. And I’m in the high risk age cohort.

Well, Hunter, at least he can lay claim to piling up deficits like no other President in the history of the world.

Not when you're dealing with rational reasonable folks, efficacy and results are all that matter, and that's how you get their approval.

Tell me what Harris policies you approve of and why.

I'll turn the tables on you then. Enumerate for me how Biden's policies in 3-1/2 years were better than Trump on the issues of 'Undocumented" people coming across the border, average gas prices and trade.

So, the oil companies are pulling for Harris?  You obviously have no clue about global supply and demand. And, on the supply side, we’re producing enough to weaken OPEC’s grip on global supply. That’s more than any other country.

Did I say the oil companies were pulling for Harris? And on the supply side, that's just now happening (election year). That was already happening with DJT before Biden's illustrious barrage of executive orders.

Undocumented crossings are lower than under Trump. No caravans.

That says it on trade. AEI can hardly be called “liberal press”.

As for gasoline, Trump’s average benefits bigly from the collapse in global demand resulting from Covid. Remember when oil prices briefly dipped below $0?

That enough enumeration for you? I’m guessing not, since you don’t believe anything that upsets your charade.

Again, demand tanked under Trump, not supply. What were those executive orders again? Something like, drill baby drill? We are producing more now than in the Trump years.
