Trump had ILLEGAL immigration well under control during his Presidency. Biden very deliberately destroyed that achievement. It was effectively a repeat of Bush II's success in illegal immigration control (net zero by 2007) that Obama deliberately ruined. Trump's policies yielded the lowest ever minority unemployment as well as the largest wage gains this century, concentrated among lower-income households; Biden's gross neglect of our borders has had severe consequences, so bad that even deep-blue-cities' mayors are openly critical.
While I doubt the logistics of deporting millions, it is entirely reasonable to enforce existing American immigration law that Biden, Garland, and Mayorkas have so brazenly ignored. Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with pursuing policies to reduce the damage the current administration has caused.
Beyond getting illegal immigration under control, Trump achieved energy independence, a goal of fifty years; got NATO allies to ante up, an issue as far back as Reagan; renegotiated NAFTA at its quarter-century mark; had a trade deal with China (which, unfortunately, succumbed to Covid); negotiated great progress in the Mideast with the Abraham Accords; and withdrew from the outrageous Iran Surrender of Obama.
I do not dispute that Trump may be a first-class (choose your pejorative). In terms of results beneficial to the USA and the global community, his performance was remarkable .
Possibly. But not relevant to my post. Casey gives chapter and verse and so the only way to refute him is to actually refute him, not point how small a minority he's in.
“I find Donald Trump and Joe Biden detestable as human beings.
Do you happen to have a post elaborating why you feel that way for Biden? I’m not a fan of Biden’s policies, but I’ve always seen him in a more favorable light compared to Trump, both in policy and character.
(I do happen to be biased, though. I don’t think I have updated most of my political views since I was more left-leaning.)
I don't have such a post. I watch him a lot. His graduation talk at Morehouse was disgraceful. His lecherous moves on women and even young girls are disgusting. Those are two, of the top of my head.
I’ll have to watch the graduation talk he did. You do have a point about his behavior. I had largely forgotten about it, but I do remember being disturbed by how he acted before around them.
Biden has a relationship with the truth that is almost as remote as Trump’s. He was caught in numerous lies long before senility became a problem. He has also enabled his brother and his son to make millions by providing (at least) an impression of access to power. Neither Biden nor Trump is qualified to be President in terms of character. Trump has, however, left a much longer trail of victims in his wake.
Good points. I'm not sure you're right about the "much longer trail of victims." As I recall, a few decades ago, Biden was one of the strongest proponents of harsh prison sentences for people engaged in selling illegal drugs. That may have created at least a few thousand, or even tens of thousands, of victims.

Casey Mulligan seems to be the only person who has worked with Trump and has good things to say about him.
Possibly. But not relevant to my post. Casey gives chapter and verse and so the only way to refute him is to actually refute him, not point how small a minority he's in.

That was a horrible speech.
