A few translations, as seen by a majority of the electorate:
> He built over 500 miles of crime-stopping wall
Mostly repaired the existing wall which accomplishes practically nothing about illegal immigration anyway
> raised tariffs on China
Started a trade war that ravaged the farm sector, resulting in costly bailouts
> didn't attack a new country
Partnered with Saudi dictatorship to escalate drone strikes, and abolished transparency around them, attempted to start war with Iran by brazenly assassinating a high-ranking official
> appointed decent judges
Packed the courts with unqualified ideologues
> appointed a wonderful person for the Department of Education
Appointed a person who ruthlessly fought against relief for student debt
> put an end to racist anti-American hate sessions at federal employers
Aggressively fought against improving race relations
> ditched the Paris Accord
Went back on a climate policy supported by 70% of voters
> stopped China from using NAFTA via Mexico
Used foreign bogeyman to distract from automation, which has eliminated far more jobs
> Just before that virus hit
Bungled the biggest crisis to hit the nation in decades
> got us to the lowest unemployment numbers in recorded history
Was born on third base and claimed he hit a triple
Overall the biggest signal that they've devolved into a personality cult was that the republican party was so overconfident, despite all signals to the contrary, that they had no platform whatsoever in the 2020 campaign.
