in the 80s economy was pretty trash, that is why Bill Clinton won, I don't think who the president was made a difference either because toward end of bill clintons time it started collapsing then it really did at beginning of bush, tho that got blamed on 9/11 but I don't see how a few buildings and just 3k dying can cause a global recession (I can see how something like a lockdown would of course). Then it shit the bed completely at end of W Bush's time, then slowly improved under Obama but it kept improving under Trump till now it has shit the bed but we all know why and it's not cuz of Trump, it's cuz of china plague. But all thru all these presidents it did have a net decline since the 90s altho there have been a few upticks here and there followed by collapses where it never completely recovers.

Clinton won, because he was selected by the democratic party. He was involved in the Bush family cartel because of the Mena drug smuggling connection.
Clinton was/is controlled.

Clinton is Bush Lite.

He betrayed the American working family.
Pushed through NAFTA.
Shipped manufacturing to China.
Etc.

The Clinton's are globalist republicans in all but name.

Globalist Republicans have been in the Whitehouse since 1980, because CIA Bush Sr was the VP.

I'm on the fence about Regan. The cold war was ended under his term, and he was either senile or slowly poisoned/drugged IMO (Bush Sr ran against Regan in 80 and nothing is below that man).

Either way, Unipolar Globalism hadn't taken hold under Regan.

Say what you will about Trump, but he is the first non-globalist president since at least 88.

Trump cancelled the TPP.
He deserves tremendous praise for this particular action.

The Clintons sold weapons to China which is how they got power. They were caught but the press brushed it aside and people were too scared to threaten them. If you did you were considered a 'suicide' victim.
