WHAT has Trump done that you do not agree with.

@kmax87 said
Can you please detail the horror that Biden left behind? And in the billions that you claim illegals cost, what was their value to your economy in terms of underpaid farm and service work they provided?

There's the question AvJ

And note, the question has 3 distinct parts.

@kmax87 said
The question was clearly asked. Playing dumb about it shows you have no answer and your only strategy is to deflect.

Is this not your question, above??

You don't see tariffs and reducing the size of the undocumented worker population as reducing the total size of the economy?

I just answered it. I do not see tariffs reducing the size of the economy just because illegals are sent back to their countries of origin. America can meet any demand, unlike little countries like Netherland, etc. We are a country of industrious money-makiing smart people who always find a way. Aren't you one who said the Hyundai plant would fail when they picked up 400+ illegals.?? I think someone 'found a way'.

Anyway, your questin is answered. Trump is real smart witih tariffs. Funny y'all have said he is not respected. Man, he is respected now. They bow and scrape.

As Sue says, the list is too long, I tee off in 1 hour. But the answer to your question is all over google, I will find one for you. Am I wrong, or do you actually think unvetted illegals is a good thing for our country.
My overall answer to you, though, is that we have gotten along for 250 years without illegals, until Biden became president, and opened up our border, he invited them in no matter what you say. Between him and his Border Czar, there was No action to control the border. Google THAT, little feller. Immigrants good, Illegal aliens, bad.

As to 'the billions they cost us' that does not equate to the labor that we had from them while they were here illegally. They cost us billions, google it. Since we did NOT need them for 250 years, what makes you think we needed illegal aliens pouring in here for the last 4 years???? You make a weak question, I make a strong answer.
My thinking is that you, like Marauder, enjoy the turmoil, that the country will get all their votes for a one party country, but that is for another thread.

Finally, your reference to underpaid. The illegal aliens would work for $8 an hour, so they in effect created Their OWN wages. And of course in DOING so, caused the disruption of wages for our own citizens. Follow me here, little fella. You libs are extremely shallow-minded.

Yeah, the horror of Biden. I don't even want to think about it,, but it is all over google,,,,,but I digress.

OK, here is the last part of your 3-questions. How horrible was Biden.

AI Overview
Based on conservative critiques and other critical perspectives, key negative aspects of the Biden presidency include economic challenges like inflation and the national debt, the handling of immigration and border issues, and foreign policy missteps. Critical accounts have also questioned his age and leadership competence, especially following his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.
Economic policies and issues
Inflation: Critics contend that inflation, which reached a 40-year high in 2022, was fueled by the Biden administration's spending policies, even though economists point to factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Critics claim that prices have increased over 20% since Biden took office and outpaced wages for over two years, eroding real earnings for American families.
National debt: The national debt increased significantly during Biden's tenure, with critics citing trillions in new spending. Interest rates also rose to their highest levels in decades under his administration.
Cost of living: While the unemployment rate reached historic lows, many Americans reported struggling with the increased cost of living. High interest rates for mortgages and credit cards, combined with shrinking personal savings, strained household finances.
Immigration and border security
Surge in illegal crossings: Under the Biden administration, illegal immigration at the southern border reached record highs. In 2022, encounters with migrants topped 2.2 million, an all-time high.
Deterrent policies abandoned: The administration drew criticism for reversing many Trump-era deterrents, including the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which critics claim signaled to migrants that they could stay in the U.S. if they made it across the border.
Gridlocked reform: Despite acknowledging the system was overwhelmed, Biden was unable to pass comprehensive immigration reform through a gridlocked Congress, leading to reliance on executive actions that did not fully resolve the issues.
Foreign policy
Afghanistan withdrawal: The chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in August 2021 drew bipartisan criticism and was seen as damaging to America's international reputation.
Gaza conflict: Biden's support for Israel's military campaign in Gaza generated significant backlash, particularly from the Democratic party's left wing, who felt he disregarded the humanitarian crisis facing Palestinians.
Mixed signals to allies: Some critics argue that the administration often failed to align its foreign policy actions with its stated principles, noting his initial hesitation to challenge human rights abuses by allies.
Leadership and political concerns
Age and competence: As the oldest president in U.S. history, Biden's age and health were persistent concerns for many voters and commentators. These concerns intensified following his poor performance in a debate against Donald Trump, contributing to his decision to withdraw from the 2024 race.
Divisive political rhetoric: Despite campaigning on a message of national unity, Biden was criticized for polarizing speeches, particularly his remarks characterizing "MAGA Republicans" as a threat to democracy.
Alienating the base: Biden's centrist approach and handling of foreign conflicts like the war in Gaza alienated parts of the Democratic base, especially younger and Muslim American voters. This is believed to have reduced voter enthusiasm and hurt Kamala Harris's campaign in the 2024 election.

I think I was referring to his deal with Pfizer. Uh oh, One of you, I won’t mention any names, will be asking me to look up what that’s all about. It is on the Internet, it just happened yesterday. A big deal. Give credit which is certainly due.
Another action by Trump for the benefit of all Americans

A tariff exemption? You write in riddles, be straight forward.

Note that liberals use the word bullying a lot, like a bunch of wimps “ he bullied me he is a bully’ Conservatives never use the word bullying. Something to think about. It smacks of whining in a schoolyard. Stand up!

No, you do the explaining since you brought it up.

I brought up the trump administrations efforts to massively increase the size of government, which you seem to ignore but cannot disagree with. Do you agree with me that this is a failure of the trump administration?

All that I brought up is the deal with Pfizer. It is a good deal, I will tell everyone that you admitted that it is a good deal, and move along. So tell me now what is your new question?
I have never not answered a question. Ask me any question and I will answer it. Why make it so difficult , writing three lines about questions, why don’t you just ask the question?
