Trump was an outsider candidate and a big F you to the establishment, nothing more. The whole larping about him being a super genius playing 4d chess was funny and all, but hurt him in the end. Especially when boomers picked up on it and took it seriously as opposed to the millennials and Gen Z who thought it was funny to joke about.

As an outsider candidate, we got some reasonable things. Right to try, amped up border security (whether it worked or not), energy independence, no wars, a great economy, and one of my biggest favorites, striking down on critical race theory, albeit, I don't think Trump understands what critical race theory is, rather I think someone around him told him it was bad enough times he went after it.

He did everything you'd expect an outsider candidate to do, with his biggest flaws being his personality which gave unlimited ammunition for the establishment to turn into a boogey man.

So idealistic; puppet presidents like FuckfaceVonClownstick do what they're told, by McConnell, Miller, Kushners, Breitbart, Mercers, Koch, Russians, Fox, etc. Even many of his Tweets were written for him. He was an obvious tool for the assholes who shifted much of the current $27 trillion dept to their bank accounts, while we pay China for the loans. Absolutely nothing redeemable about him.

Yeah and he mostly failed at that, tbh. He did a few good things, but in the end he was basically a lame duck president

It came right after Chris Rufo went on Fox News and made a personal plea for the president to take action. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/chris-rufo-race-theory-cult-federal-government
