Trump's policies were to start a trade war with China to get people's jobs back. We've learned that tariffs only cause harm to both economies involved since the 1930 Haley Smoot Act showed that.
He spent money to fight in Syria, which unnecessarily caused tensions with Russia, why?
He ended Obamas agreement that might have put any restraint on Iran making nukes. Trump did slap sanctions on Iran, but that did less to slow Iran down from making nukes.
He let a cap on nukes deal with Russia end without talking about renewal.
He was found guilty of insurrection for Jan 6 riot in The Colorado State Supreme Court. He was consequentially barred from The Colorado ballet.
His NAFTA 2.0 didn't do much.
After the 2008 financial crisis, The Dodd-Frank act was passed to prevent another crisis like that from happening again. Then Trump worked with a republican run congress to raise the threashhold for which banks The Dodd Frank Act applied to. Instead of medium and large banks, The Dodd Frank act only applied to large banks after Trump did this. Guess what happened to the medium sized banks a few years after this change to The Dodd Frank? They had another 2008 style financial crisis and FDIC had to bail them out... again.
One of his biggest policy points was to build a wall across Mexico, "and make Mexico pay for it." If I just put aside that second part as so unrealistic that I knew that part wouldn't happen at all, building a wall is stupid, and won't be the thing that stops immigrants from entering the usa. The design chosen was passeable with some effort and ingenuety. Trump couldn't budge a republican house and senate to fund it because although the average republican voters want it, the elite republicans know its stupid.
He ordered mass arrests of illegal immigrants, and the gov, under Trumps leadership, seperated children from thwir parents and put them all in inhumane conditions. It was almost as bad as executive ordee 6601 back in ww2 that basically put Japanese Americans in internment camps. But it wasnt quite as bad or rhe same arguably.
Trump ended the pacific trade agreement that Obama spent a long time negotiating, and might have been the only thing that might have had China honor patents, but now China has no agreements or obligations to heed usa patents. This is in light of the fact that when Obama asked China to cut back on hacking the usa, some secondary evidence showed that China pointed their hackers away from the usa and at Germany as well
From 2016-2018 the GOP Republicans controlled the White House & Congress-did nothing on immigration legislation & legal border security.
NOTHING. READ THAT AGAIN. NOTHING.
GOP has blocked immigration reform as far back as G.W. Bush - You cannot both block reform and bitch about it. It's only an GOP issue during a political year.
