A better controlled border with less fentanyl, China trade, Chinese spying, robust economy with plentiful baby formula and eggs as well as cheaper gas and heating costs. Just a few.

"robust economy"

It was robust at the time, with the best that Trump did with GDP growth was at 2.9% (the highest GDP growth rate since 2015), until Biden broke the record easily with the fact he broke his own record to 9.2% in 2022

"with plentiful baby formula"

There was a trade deal which Trump signed the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement in July 2020 that made importing baby formula to the US allowed, albeit uncommon. But there's also high tariffs and complex policies that aim to protect the U.S. dairy industry from competitors and ensure that formula is safe to consume

"and eggs"

Which eggs are only a minor issue with the economy compared to gas prices.

"as well as cheaper gas"

Well that's the first good policy Trump had that you mentioned because the cheapest weekly national average since 2018 was at US $1.84 per gallon on Apr. 16, 2020 (on Trump's final year).

"and heating costs. Just a few."

Compared to last winter (December 2021-March 2022), the average household spent $723 on natural gas, and $1,233 on electricity; an increase of 25% and 11% respectively.

Whereas, the time when residential heating oil prices went up was from November 2nd 2020, and the peak of the heating oil price hike was at November 7th 2022, then the prices started to fall from then on with a few increases but went on track.

The price of residential heating oil from January 23rd 2023 onward has consistently had the prices drop, meaning the prices under Biden have stabilised.

This means this was a Trump problem.

Claiming you are building something that is just returning from the devastation of the Covid fiasco isn’t really building anything. And every American feels the Biden failure everytime they go to the grocery store or gas station. 1.4 percent inflation went to 9.5 under Biden though has dropped a couple points. You scoff at a 25% increase as if that’s doing a great job for Americans. No it’s not.

"Claiming you are building something that is just returning from the devastation of the Covid fiasco isn’t really building anything. And every American feels the Biden failure everytime they go to the grocery store or gas station."

I understand what the average American is going through, Biden's approval rating is 41%, which yes it's improving but not by much.

https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/US-president-approval-rating

"1.4 percent inflation went to 9.5 under Biden though has dropped a couple points."

The inflation rate was 1.362% when Trump left, and the inflation rate in America is now 6.410%. I'm not blaming Trump for the inflation, I'm blaming Putin.

"You scoff at a 25% increase as if that’s doing a great job for Americans. No it’s not."

I mean a 25% increase in Natural Gas prices is still not good, but what do you think would have happened if Trump was still president? There would have still been an invasion of Ukraine thanks to Russia.

There was no invasion under trump and there was no reason to believe there would have been. The poke the bear policies of the democrats are what provoked the invasion and the Ukrainians die in a proxy war for our military industrial deep state profits.

"There was no invasion under trump"

I agree.

"and there was no reason to believe there would have been."

Trump wouldn't have changed what would have happened in Ukraine. What is happening in Ukraine is a reality we cannot dodge.

"The poke the bear policies of the democrats are what provoked the invasion and the Ukrainians die in a proxy war for our military industrial deep state profits."

Yes Kamala Harris trying to get Ukraine into NATO didn't help, but Putin was going to invade Ukraine as he claims that he's doing a "special military operation" to "denazify" Ukraine, and you have no problem with Putin saying that "Ukraine has Nazis"?

We could have dodged it. We chose not to. We played regime change and removed the Pro Russian president and this resulted in the first invasion under Obama. Putin has long stated that Ukraine as a NATO member was a redline. Understandable considering the US reaction to Russian missiles in Cuba or what the reaction to Mexico joining the Warsaw Pact would have been. Yet we pushed and agitated for that very thing. The Ukrainians are being slaughtered in the name of defense industry profits.

Yeah in 2014, but it escalated last year into an invasion.

"A better controlled border with less fentanyl,"

Synthetic Opioids (fentanyl) overdose deaths in 2021 were 71,238 compared to 57,834 in 2020, which that's a 23.2% increase. Now compared fentanyl overdose deaths in 2020 to 2019. There were 57,834 Fentanyl overdose deaths in 2020, compared to 36,359 in 2019, which was a 37.1% increase.

So yes Biden had to deal with the fentanyl overdose deaths but the problem started under Trump.

"China trade,"

In 2021, U.S. exports to China were $151.1 billion, a 21.4% ($26.6 billion) increase from 2020; U.S. imports from China were $506.4 billion, a 16.5% ($71.6 billion) increase

In 2021, U.S. goods and services trade with China totalled at around US $657.5 billion, compared to US $615.2 billion in 2020. That's a 6.88% increase in spending with trade with China under Biden.

But in 2019, U.S. trade with China decreased by over 10% from 2018. That's under Trump.

"Chinese spying,"

This one is easy to debunk. The three aerial objects what we first thought were Chinese spy balloons were actually discovered that they weren't even spy balloons from China, they are likely to be discovered as private company balloons. But during the Trump era, there were three Chinese spy balloons that were hovering around the US and the Trump administration weren't even aware of it.

The border and fentanyl are markedly worse in all respects under the “what border” Biden administration. You can try to rationalize whatever you want, it’s worse and it’s way worse with millions entering the country and drug cartels gaining footholds.

Yes when you increase tariffs trade decreases but it’s necessary to reign in Chinese trade imbalance. This drove corporate America crazy and made him many corporate enemies. Walmart and Amazon need Chinese crap to sell.

I wasn’t referring to the balloons or the purported mystery balloons no one knew about or have been proven. I am talking about the initiative that Biden halted to investigate Chinese spying at government agencies, companies and universities. Biden is in the Chinese pocket and has unseemly relationships with the Chinese intelligence apparatus as do most of Californias delegation.

"The border and fentanyl are markedly worse in all respects under the “what border” Biden administration. You can try to rationalize whatever you want, it’s worse and it’s way worse with millions entering the country and drug cartels gaining footholds."

Immigration has sure increased.

"Yes when you increase tariffs trade decreases but it’s necessary to reign in Chinese trade imbalance. This drove corporate America crazy and made him many corporate enemies. Walmart and Amazon need Chinese crap to sell."

Well labour is very expensive within the western world, therefore manufacturers pack their bags and head off to China or another country, not to mention their human rights record hasn't been great with manufacturing, and the lack of sustainability.

"I wasn’t referring to the balloons or the purported mystery balloons no one knew about or have been proven."

Didn't know that but go on.

"I am talking about the initiative that Biden halted to investigate Chinese spying at government agencies, companies and universities."

That's because the government argue that being cast aside largely because of perceptions, unfairly paints Chinese Americans and U.S. residents of Chinese origin as "disloyal".

"Biden is in the Chinese pocket and has unseemly relationships with the Chinese intelligence apparatus as do most of Californias delegation."

Same with my Prime Minister in Australia Anthony Albanese who wanted to “reset” the relationship between Australia and China.
