To beat Trump, expose his dismal record 2016-2020 [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

One crucially important weapon against Donald Trump now in 2024 — and I think underdeveloped -— is to list the bad things he did while in office.

Overall summary: He made a lot of noise but very little progress and quite a lot of regress.

Taxes: greatly benefited the rich, gave an apparent minor reduction to middle income people, took most back with a smaller refund check.

Justice: appointment of reactionary supreme court justices

Caused hundreds of thousands of deaths through irresponsible Covid policy.

Damaged the U.S. State Department

Damaged other federal agencies

Quote former Exxon chief executive Tillerson, briefly Secretary of State, calling Trump a moron. Tillerson was not East Coast elite.. he started out low and rose high, salt of the earth type of person.

I am four score years old and don’t have the energy to do a decent job summarizing and criticizing Trump’s actual destructions 2016-2020. Please, someone, do it!!!

UPDATE: One possibly useful source of ammunition, if we emphasize the bad and the ugly parts —

Politico magazine published the following assessment entitled “30 Things Donald Trump Did as President You Might Have Missed: Trump’s presidency may be best remembered for its cataclysmic end. But his four years as president also changed real American policy in lasting ways, just more quietly. We asked POLITICO’s best-in-class policy reporters to recap some of the ways Trump changed the country while in office, for better or worse.|”
