Well, we had two recent presidents. In all honesty, I was totally willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt; like he was talking a big circus, but sometimes for a politician that's just "dazzle and chaff" to distract the media.
In and among the nonsense there were a bunch of great promises, like pulling us out of China, getting massive infrastructure projects, resourcing a ton of our manufacturing from Mexico, maybe finally taking out the Ayatollah. Legitimately good shit!
So like; honestly if he was gonna do any of that, I'm game, man. We need it.
…
If I sit back and objectively look at it … he did a couple of tiny "token gestures", like saving a few hundred jobs at the Carrier plant, or whacking Soleimani. But for the most part … almost none of it got done, and not because of "Democratic obstruction", but because he just didn't even try. At all.
Really had me bummed, because damn if he wasn't -saying- all right stuff, but honestly I feel like I just got taken for a ride, you know? Like he said all that stuff just to get elected, and then just forgot about us.
Meanwhile Biden's doing:

I don't care who delivers, but I do take note of who chose not to do so, and don't vote for them a second time. "Fool me once".
