Gained 12 million more votes than 2016. Because of that, and a bunch of other things, no.

If the system is configured to preclude success, then technically anyone would end up being considered a failure.

If no one supports a leader....and they fail.....they are a failure?

Name the last vaccine prior to Covid-19 that was on the market in under one year.
While you are at it also explain what it took to get said vaccine to market in under a year.

Hardly

2016 - DOW 17,000
2021- 31,000

Unemployment - historical lows for most sectors (until covid)

World Stability -

2016 - Obama warned of imminent conflict with NORKS, Iran, Syria ws a mess, ISIS expands, Russia in Crimea and threatening Ukraine
2021 - NORKS pacified. ISIS eliminated, Syria stable, Russia quiet.

2016 - NAFTA
2021 - USMC Agreement

2016 - oil and coal dead. railroads dead. US net importer of energy
2021 - US net exporter of energy. Saudi oil imports to US fallen to zero

Should I go on?

Absolutely not. His worst mistake was acknowledging the virus as a pandemic, but he was forced into that position by media induced panic.

His successes have been well enumerated.

His failures: he failed to lock up Hillary and a host of other American traitors. He failed to declassify everything from JFK to Benghazi to the fake impeachment. He failed to pardon Snowden and company.

Nope, not at all. I know the past four years have been the best in my life financially and in other areas also. We are way better off.
I really hate to go back to disastrous Obama era policies.
A couple of friends of mine have a paint business and were booked until June. Now they’ve lost five jobs in the last two weeks. Gas here is $2:40 and climbing. The wife and I were planning to buy a UTV but decided to hold off to see what shakes out. Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

Thats where you'll be wrong.

1- It wasn't Trump's response that was the issue. It was the Democrat antagonism to anything Trump with the willing participation of the MSM that was the issue. Literally a political opposition to anything Trump did or said. In the end, he promised to have a vaccine out and being delivered by Christmas. Your people said it couldn't be done. I've had mine. Most incredible and speedy accomplishment since the Manhattan Project.

2.-Trump will be remembered like FDR. My whole life voters in those elections either loved FDR are HATED him. No in between.

Biden will do whatever he can to erase Trumps legacy. That's the spoils system. Trump damn sure put a hurt on Obama's legacy. The Media will pile on with glee. In the end. They can't erase economic accomplishments, world security, energy independence and the inroads he made with Black and Hispanic voters.

I was a big Trump supporter during the campaign even though I knew it was going to be very unlikely that he did all he said he would do. I liked the fact that he was at least saying what needed to be said. I'm disappointed that he wasn't able to do more. But the big concern is seeing exactly how bad the situation is. Trump caused the deep state to reveal themselves and the extent of their influence. It's also quite concerning that the deep state has targeted the right to the extent it has.

Nothing in my story needs to change. The second time I voted for him I did so 'cause I think he did a damned good job, better than I thought he could do, better than I thought anyone would do, and I thought ... forget what Trump deserves, I thought WE, as a nation, deserve four more years of his successes. Nothing there needs to change ... ever. I don't apologize for being right.

Definitely more good than bad. I would add to his failure - Sessions, Wray, Mattis, Tiilerson, Barr, etc. But it did show how tough it is find people that really want to do something. And the constant high level leaking of info from his administration shows how entrenched the deep state is and how it goes about destroying people.

It's a joke.....if private land polluted as bad as federal land did out west here.....the land owners would be in jail.

Everyone knows it's climate change that causes forest fires, not Trump. Someone got their blaming backwards.

President Trump is the GREATEST President of my lifetime followed by Ronald Reagan. I had lost hope that I’d ever see a President that put the country ahead of his own personal interests but President Trump WAS that man. I had lost hope that we’d ever have a President that really and truly loved America and wanted to do right by her citizens but President Trump was that man. I had lost hope that we’d ever have a President that wasn’t controlled by the MIC and we’d forever be sending our treasures to fight and die in bullshit foreign wars but President Trump was that man.

I’ll continue to stand firmly with President Trump and I’ll continue to pray that he’ll keep fighting the communists.

He is hands down the best President of our lifetime and he has my undying loyalty!

God save the USA!

I just hope he comes back and reforms the Republican party. There's talk of him starting a 3d party and that would be a disaster. It would split the Rep party and put the Dems in power for decades. Reforming the R party will take the votes of many millions of people, throwing out the garbage in the primaries. Nothing else will do it.

3d parties and independents can elect congressmen but not a president. In 1912, Teddy Roosevelt started his Progressive Party after he lost the nomination. All he accomplished was getting Woodrow Wilson elected. In 1992 Ross Perot ran as an independent conservative. All he accomplished was pulling votes from Bush and giving us gangrene Clinton.

Lost the house and the senate.

You gotta admit he got the ragheads on the run in the Middle East.

And got a vaccine out in warp speed.

So I wouldn't call it " winning." Like I wouldn't call it a failure either.

I think the president should get 6 years........no re election. Be way different in results per term.


I will just address three points: Oil market is in perfect shape. $2.30/gal for gas is a wonderful place to be. We are energy independent and do not care what OPEC does to oil prices. Oil is cheap enough that Russia is limited on oil profits with which they would buy weapons.

Riots? Both sides?

The right has never staged a riot. None of the riots staged by the left had a damned thing to do with Trump. Hell, the DNC, after they orchestrated riots all over the nation for over a year, was not even smart enough to figure a way to blame Trump for the carnage.

The ill-advised incursion into the Capitol building this month.....was no riot. It was a hell of a lot more peaceful than anything over the summer. And at that, it was orchestrated and lead by leftist Antifa agents.

A complete "false flag operation".

But that part about the right has never started a riot. I am afraid that is soon to change in a big way.

Forest fires in the West. LOL. Forest fires are the result of fifty years of wrong headed "environmentally minded" public lands management. Cut the fricken trees, graze the damned fuel, clear the underbrush, and do annual controlled burns, eliminate "wilderness areas" which are of no use to anyone.

No president has the power to overturn fifty years worth of damage and bad policy written by Congress.

I hope the fug not. Oil has always been too volatile to interest me. My funds are in safer portfolios.

I am a lot more interested in the economic boom brought about by inexpensive transportation costs than I am worried about a very few taking a little loss on foolish investments.
Posted By: StrayDog Re: Was Trump a Failure? - 01/20/21
He was not a failure, considering how much he had to fight all of the slights, underhanded schemes from never Trumper Republicans, and all of the democrats and outright propaganda from the news media. it is amazing how much he really got done.

The things I enjoyed about him, being crude and blunt with opponents for example when he said in an early debate, "Do you think all of these people came here to see Jeb Bush". Though this personality was not fun when he was messaging his own ego unreasonably, and probably cost him some votes.

Simple answer is for me nope.

There were things that he could have done better.

But folks that get butt hurt over the way he speaks or words he uses need to take a look at themselves because i imagine that there are a few things said and done in their past that are just as bad.

Then there are folks that just don't like anything he did or say because it was not done the way they would have done it.

You’re fullashit. On COVID he did the best anyone could have done with what he had to work with. The “experts” he called on are pretty much still fullashit. All the blather about masks is just that. There is not one speck of analytical research showing the method and material used with masks today is in any way sufficient to block virus cells coming or going. Bogus. Totally. Just before my wife retired from nursing in November a local pulmonologist while in her office for respiratory day noted the cute little blue spittle blockers sitting about here and there in dispenser boxes. His comment, “Get those out of here. They’re worthless.” Not politically correct but completely accurate, as far as the spread of viral infection goes. Just as foolish has been the shutdown of our economy while frantically searching for a Silver Bullet Vaccine for a new version of a VIRUS that has a survival rate of over 99.95%. Really. The experts used it for just another anti-Trump tool. There is not and will not be such a tool. A vaccine will eventually emerge and will require upgrading regularly as the virus mutates. Nature of the beast. So far the scare, er sqooze me, the cure has been much worse than the disease.

You’re drinking the CNN Kool Aid on January 6. That was a peaceful protest, or would have been if they’d just burned a building or two. These, except for the ANTIFAssholes and BLM, were Patriots putting Congress on notice the scam didn’t fly. “The fix was in and we know it. We come loud but unarmed. We didn’t have to. We can take this place over should it be required”. There were enough Patriots there to EAT The House of Lords had they desired. As it was all the “riot damage” was cleaned up the next morning. Sad the LEO was killed by antifa but that’s what happened. Sad the LEO face punched the protestor off the top of a 30 ft wall. That was probably one of the dead citizens. Sad a known BLM rioter helped get Ashli Babbit up into the broken window so she could be murdered by a trigger happy Court Guard when she was a threat to no one. This with other LEO in the midst of the “trespassers”, for that was their worst offense. In 20 years I will still be beholden to DJT for pizzing in the Demoroids hot tub, for showing there are still some who will call lies lies, for encouraging America First, and for doing a dirty job against dirty Republicrats and Demoroids alike. I have no idea how many fronts his war for freedom actually had.

So yes I will remember him positively and fondly even though I do not care for him personally. And I will remember January 6 as the day we started.

Trump made all the Presidents of the last 20 years look like Lazy, Inept, and certainly not qualified for the job.

Before Trump, we really had no idea just how corrupt the system was, and he brought the Truth out front and center.

Prior Presidents of the past 20 years certainly had no prospective on what Putting the American People First Involved, they like to make themselves Great.

I wish that Trump would buy Fox News, and be on TV everyday....that would drive the libs bat schitt crazy for sure...exposing all of the horse schitt they are shoveling the American people like it is home made apple pie and ice cream.

Sure he failed Snowflakes expectations...

and failed to accomplish all he wanted to do, but then he had 4 years of being sidetracked every day of the week with democRATS accusations and impeachment crap.. that they all made up...

one thing for sure... Trump wasn't wanting us all to be friends once again, while threatening to send all of us who were different to 're education camps' to learn to think the way the other side does...

While you are at it also explain what it took to get said vaccine to market in under a year.


The availability of a vaccine is NOT his success. The cocktail was mixed in a lab, not in the White House. By the way, according to DJT, May 8, 2020: "This is going to go away without a vaccine."

In April 2020: DJT: "And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?

"So it'd be interesting to check that."

Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what."

Yes, indeed!

I think we both can state that we are living in a democracy when we can exchange quotes from our political leaders and laugh about them without ending up in a torture dungeon. Best example from Germany is this "sculpture" of former FDJ-member Angela:

Based on his 2016 rhetoric, which won him the election and is what the populist wanted and still wants, he was a failure. I consider him a failure and a con because of this. The founding stock of this country got nothing over the past 4 years.

Read the List Of the Trump Administration Accomplishments (650+) Very long post. Thought the liberals on here might need a huge reminder and the Trump supporters to know everything in detail.

By Mark Simone Jan 20, 2021


Trump Administration Accomplishments

The First President Not To Send Troops Into Any Armed Conflict Or War

The Unprecedented Economic Boom

Before the China Virus invaded our shores, we built the world’s most prosperous economy.

Wages rose fastest for low-income and

Blue collar workers – a 16 percent pay increase.

African American homeownership increased from 41.7 percent to 46.4 percent.

Brought jobs, factories, and industries back to the USA.

The DOW closed above 20,000 for the first time in 2017 and topped 30,000 in 2020.

The S&P 500 and NASDAQ have repeatedly notched record highs.

Rebuilding and investing in rural America.

Signed an Executive Order on Modernizing the Regulatory Framework for Agricultural Biotechnology Products, which is bringing innovative new technologies to market in American farming and agriculture.

Strengthened America’s rural economy by investing over $1.3 billion through the Agriculture Department’s ReConnect Program to bring high-speed broadband infrastructure to rural America.

Achieved a record-setting economic comeback by rejecting blanket lockdowns.

An October 2020 Gallup survey found 56 percent of Americans said they were better off during a pandemic than four years prior.

During the third quarter of 2020, the economy grew at a rate of 33.1 percent – the most rapid GDP growth ever recorded.

Since coronavirus lockdowns ended, the economy has added back over 12 million jobs, more than half the jobs lost.

Jobs have been recovered 23 times faster than the previous administration’s recovery.

Unemployment fell to 6.7 percent in December, from a pandemic peak of 14.7 percent in April – beating expectations of well over 10 percent unemployment through the end of 2020.

Under the previous administration, it took 49 months for the unemployment rate to fall from 10 percent to under 7 percent compared to just 3 months for the Trump Administration.

Since April, the Hispanic unemployment rate has fallen by 9.6 percent, Asian-American unemployment by 8.6 percent, and Black American unemployment by 6.8 percent.

Over 400 companies have announced bonuses, wage increases, new hires, or new investments in the United States.

Over $1.5 trillion was repatriated into the United States from overseas.

Lower investment cost and higher capital returns led to faster growth in the middle class, real wages, and international competitiveness.

Jobs and investments are pouring into Opportunity Zones.

Created nearly 9,000 Opportunity Zones where capital gains on long-term investments are taxed at zero.

Opportunity Zone designations have increased property values within them by 1.1 percent, creating an estimated $11 billion in wealth for the nearly half of Opportunity Zone residents who own their own home.

Opportunity Zones have attracted $75 billion in funds and driven $52 billion of new investment in economically distressed communities, creating at least 500,000 new jobs.

Approximately 1 million Americans will be lifted from poverty as a result of these new investments.

Private equity investments into businesses in Opportunity Zones were nearly 30 percent higher than investments into businesses in similar areas that were not designated Opportunity Zones.

Issued a final rule on the Fair Housing Act’s disparate impact standard.

Eliminated the Waters of the United States Rule and replaced it with the Navigable Waters Protection Rule, providing relief and certainty for farmers and property owners.

Repealed the previous administration’s costly fuel economy regulations by finalizing the Safer Affordable Fuel Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles rule, which will make cars more affordable, and lower the price of new vehicles by an estimated $2,200.

Americans now have more money in their pockets.

Deregulation had an especially beneficial impact on low-income Americans who pay a much higher share of their incomes for overregulation.

Cut red tape in the healthcare industry, providing Americans with more affordable healthcare and saving Americans nearly 10 percent on prescription drugs.

Deregulatory efforts yielded savings to the medical community an estimated $6.6 billion – with a reduction of 42 million hours of regulatory compliance work through 2021.

In Trump's case, you can't go around shouting like a cross between Benito Mussolini and a used car salesman no matter how good your policies have been.

Now he's talking about maybe a third party to ruin the Republican Party. It's like Hitler right at the end ordering all the buildings in Germany destroyed because the German people had betrayed him by not winning his war.

He'd be well advised to stop whining about being butt hurt and just quietly campaign for Republicans in races to come. That's what Nixon did after his terrible defeat in 1962.

And if there's any evidence that election fraud or Dominion machines cost him any states, he knows what that is. Either go public with it or shut up.

Now we will all suffer.

Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

‘We feel incredibly betrayed’: Thousands of Guardsmen forced to vacate Capitol
Guardsmen were later let back into facilities after an outcry from lawmakers.

Thousands of National Guardsmen were allowed back into the Capitol Thursday night, hours after U.S. Capitol Police officials ordered them to vacate the facilities, sending them outdoors or to nearby parking garages after two weeks pulling security duty after the deadly riot on Jan. 6.

One unit, which had been resting in the Dirksen Senate Office building, was abruptly told to vacate the facility on Thursday, according to one Guardsman. The group was forced to rest in a nearby parking garage without internet reception, with just one electrical outlet, and one bathroom with two stalls for 5,000 troops, the person said. Temperatures in Washington were in the low 40s by nightfall.


“Yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service. Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed,” the Guardsman said.

POLITICO obtained photos showing the Guard members packed together in the parking garage, sleeping on the ground.

All National Guard troops were told to vacate the Capitol and nearby congressional buildings on Thursday, and to set up mobile command centers outside or in nearby hotels, another Guardsman confirmed. They were told to take their rest breaks during their 12-hour shifts outside and in parking garages, the person said.


Top lawmakers from both parties took to Twitter to decry the decision and call for answers after POLITICO first reported the news Thursday night, with some even offering their offices to be used as rest areas. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) tweeted: “If this is true, it's outrageous. I will get to the bottom of this.” And Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) noted that the Capitol complex remains closed to members of the public, “so there’s plenty of room for troops to take a break in them.”

By 10 p.m., Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) said the situation was “being resolved” and that the Guardsmen would be able to return indoors later in the night.

“Just made a number of calls and have been informed Capitol Police have apologized to the Guardsmen and they will be allowed back into the complex tonight,” added Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who lost both of her legs in combat. “I’ll keep checking to make sure they are.”

A Guard source confirmed late Thursday night that all troops in the parking garages were ordered to return inside the Capitol.

Brig. Gen. Janeen Birckhead, the Guard’s Inauguration Task Force commander, confirmed in a statement to POLITICO shortly after midnight that the troops were out of the garage and back into the Capitol building as authorized by the Capitol Police Watch Commander. They will take their breaks near Emancipation Hall going forward.

In a statement, Capitol Police spokesperson Eva Malecki said the department recently asked that troops’ shifts be reduced from 12 hours to eight in order to allow for additional rest hours away from the Capitol complex. The statement did not explain why the Guardsmen were forced into parking garages.

On Friday morning, Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman insisted in a statement that the department “did not instruct the National Guard to vacate the Capitol Building facilities.”

“The Department is also working with the Guard to reduce the need for sleeping accommodations by establishing shorter shifts, and will ensure they have access to the comfortable accommodations they absolutely deserve when the need arises,” Pittman added.

Guardsmen who spoke with POLITICO were not given a clear reason why they were asked to vacate the buildings. The first Guardsman said it may have been due to a complaint that some troops were not wearing masks, but denied that was the case.

“We have strict guidance that masks are to be worn at all times unless soldiers are eating and drinking,” the Guardsman said.

Capitol Police asked troops to move their rest area on Thursday, said Guard spokesperson Maj. Matt Murphy.

“As Congress is in session and increased foot traffic and business is being conducted, Capitol Police asked the troops to move their rest area,” Murphy said. “They were temporarily relocated to the Thurgood Marshall Judicial Center garage with heat and restroom facilities. We remain an agile and flexible force to provide for the safety and security of the Capitol and its surrounding areas.”

Guard leadership did not make the decision and are “doing their best to provide rest shelter for troops who are still on 12-hour shifts protecting the Capitol and congressional grounds,” the second Guardsman said.

“There really may be an important reason for us to vacate and it just hasn’t been well communicated yet,” the second Guardsman said.

The troops are particularly concerned about being packed in tight quarters with limited bathroom access during a pandemic. At least 100 Guardsmen have tested positive for Covid-19, according to two Guardsmen. Some are quarantining in hotels.

A spokesperson previously declined to provide a specific number for troops who have tested positive for the virus.

After images went viral last week of troops sleeping on the floor in the halls of Congress, Guardsmen protecting the Capitol were initially provided cots, POLITICO first reported.

Thousands of troops have already left Washington after around 25,000 were called to D.C. to help defend it from potential threats ahead of President Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday.

Or, to shorten the story up a bit with some truth instead of a bunch of hogwash hearsay...

Massachusetts National Guard sets straight story about why guardsmen were in U.S. Capitol parking garage

WASHINGTON —5:56 PM EST Jan 22, 2021
Officials with the Massachusetts National Guard on Friday released a statement identifying and correcting falsehoods in a report that suggested a Massachusetts congressman was responsible for Guardsmen being sent to a parking garage.

Without mentioning the source of the report, the statement appears to reference an article published by the conservative Breitbart website on Thursday. The authors said a source told them Rep. William Keating had "complained about one National Guard member not wearing a mask at a cafe in the building" and linked that to troops being "forced to evacuated the Capitol building grounds."

"It makes no sense and quite frankly could not be farther from the truth," Maj. Gen. Gary Keefe, the Adjutant General of the Massachusetts National Guard said in a statement.

"The relocation of National Guardsmen within the U.S. Capitol building grounds has nothing to do with Congressman Keating reminding a soldier of the requirement to wear their mask," the general wrote.

The statement explains that Capitol building officials asked the Guardsmen to move their break area to a garage because the Senate was in session.

Keefe also said that photos of the Guardsmen in the garage have been taken out of context.

"What the stories failed to mention was that they were on a break, resting between shifts," Keefe said in his statement. "At the end of the duty day, soldiers returned to their hotel rooms."

He wasn't a failure in anyway. He was just severely outnumbered by the DC swamp, and media. I think at times he followed some bad advice; instead of, of his own instincts. He still accomplished a boatload of good for the country and was the best President we have had since Reagan, in my opinion.

.The Obama/ Billary retread we got now is going to make Trump look like a genius by the time he is done screwing us in every way possible. I think Trump pulled back the curtain just enough for people to see the country, our lives, could be better, and there is a lot of scum in DC and the media. Everything Biden does will be highly scrutinized by a huge chunk of the public. The media will do everything they can to protect him, but I don't think people are as easily fooled as in the past by their BS, and a lot of that is due to Trump...I hope he starts his own social media platform and stays in the fight...

Trump was great at lying. Trump was great at dividing the country. Trump was great at admiring the likes of UN and Putin. Trump was great at showing the world that even a rich white trash person can get elected to the presidency of America. Trump was great at making fine of disabled people. Trump Was great at disparaging our dead military by calling them losers and suckers.
Trump was great at pardoning his fellow cabal of criminals. Trump would be great in a prison cell.

And it was time to do just that.
We now know who wants communism, and who wants to remain free.

Trump was too successful, that's why the Swamp wanted him gone. He made both sides look bad. He did in a few years what the Swamp has been promising to do for 4 decades. They had to get rid of him to gain back their monopoly on power.

Where ever Donald Trump goes so does your average conservative American. If he leaves the republican party he is taking a huge number of folks with him. Apparently something that mitch mconnelll and mitt romney don't understand.

3.4 % unemployment. People coming off food stamps and welfare. Being able to support themselves. Manufacturing coming back to the US. Trump can be the biggest
