I’ve been critical of the Trump presidency these last four years, and am still exhausted from the experience. But to be fair, President Trump wasn’t that bad, other than when he
- incited an insurrection against the government,
- mismanaged a pandemic that killed nearly half a million Americans,
- separated children from their families,
- lost those children in the bureaucracy,
- tear-gassed peaceful protesters on Lafayette Square so he could hold a photo op holding a Bible in front of a church,
- tried to block all Muslims from entering the country,
- got impeached,
- got impeached again,
- had the worst jobs record of any president in modern history,
- pressured Ukraine to dig dirt on Joe Biden,
- fired the FBI director for investigating his ties to Russia,
- bragged about firing the FBI director on TV,
- took Vladimir Putin’s word over the US intelligence community,
- diverted military funding to build his wall,
- caused the longest government shutdown in US history,
- called Black Lives Matter a “symbol of hate,”
- lied nearly 30,000 times,
- banned transgender people from serving in the military,
- ejected reporters from the White House briefing room who asked tough questions,
- vetoed the defense funding bill because it renamed military bases named for Confederate soldiers,
- refused to release his tax returns,
- increased the national debt by nearly $8 trillion,
- had three of the highest annual trade deficits in U.S. history,
- called veterans and soldiers who died in combat losers and suckers,
