I do’t disagree with you at all here. But given the choice, if the election where held tomorrow, I’d vote Trump over Biden. I’m not in either camp of the do no wrong/right. I will never forgive the pandemic response and have not forgotten that it started under him. But there’s no way we can survive another 4 years of democrat rule.
I don't think you are going to find a ton of Trump supporters who disagree. It's disappointing he is still trying to sell it, but you also have to remember everything the system was throwing at him at that time. He basically punted to states and Fauci to get out of the box. I agree, not a good look. But now what El Gato? It's time to fix the what the communists have created, and Trump has to be your guy.
When DJT asks the question “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”, I think he’s simply asking the generic question that Reagan made popular. He’s not thinking specifically about March 18, 2020. That said, you’re right about everything you wrote. One of Trump’s greatest weaknesses is his inability to admit a mistake. What he did was wrong, but not outrageous or radical. Most other world leaders made the same errors. If he could simply acknowledge his mistakes, he’d gain a lot of political ground. In particular, I wish he’d have an honest look at the vaccines and lead the charge to help the vaccine injured, rather than continuing to falsely claim they saved millions of lives.
If Trump had apologized for being wrong about the vaccines (the deadliest act of war in centuries) he'd be a lot easier to pull the lever for....but he's completely unrepentant. I can forgive him on his ignorance on the lockdown trash (as that was a panic decision), but the vaccine trash is unforgivable.
That being said....there is no surviving a "biden" or big mike Obama reinstallation in 2024. The "bloodbath" hoax is a painful reminder that Trump (warts and all) has to get back in the Whitehouse.
Trump is a human, subject to all the foibles thereof, but he's also intelligent and a pragmatist, and appears to be teachable, and able to learn from his mistakes. I intend to vote for him.
Trump wanted Atlas to take the COVID reigns. He trusted Atlas and the folks Atlas brought to the table. Trump's handlers told him (Atlas and Trump) to not rock the boat, "it's an election year". Otherwise Brix and Fauci would have been gone. Read Atlas's book, A plague Upon Our House. It's pretty damning.
Unfortunately Trump still seems better than what we’ve got. I’ll probably vote JFK Jr though. At least he understands how terrible pHarma and censorship are.
OK, point taken. So what? Yes Trump blew it on the Covid decisions, but he also tried to convince people that early treatment (hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin) would be helpful. He was boonswoggled like the rest of us with the pressure of the election year looming. He should repent and do so publicly. But if he doesn't, where does that leave us? He is clearly the peoples' choice of Republican candidate and we desperately need a change in course for the country. The key is to elect him with a strong VP candidate who can carry on for 8 more years. Trump is, as they say, older and wiser. He will go into Washington DC with the experience he was missing the first time.
I feel like President Trump was steamrolled at every turn.
I am sure when he was listening to his guidance he must have wondered if this was all a ruse, but the whole planet was on crazy meds or something.
Who was that doctor that was talking all OCD about washing all of your groceries like even the bananas. I forgot his name, a good looking black guy .... secretary of medical stuff -- can't remember.
I've approached several candidates for office in UT during this and the previous election cycle to ask them to acknowledge how wrong they were with their covid policies and to commit not to repeat the errors. None have agreed to do either. They all make the claim, "we did the best we could with the knowledge we had at the time." I committed to myself in 2020 never to forget and never to forgive elected and appointed officials for the harm they did. I'm in a dwindling minority. But it gives me peace of mind to know that many, including our beloved bad cat, were right and were silenced, and that I was able to make well-informed choices for my well-being by listening to them. I'll vote for Trump again. He's the best available option. If he wins (The Regime(TM) won't allow it), in all likelihood he'll make another incredibly harmful unforced error again. Keep the faith, brother. Thank you.
There were not many in the government that were helpful during the c-19 "pandemic" (especially in hindsight)--Trump included. I think his gut told him the "experts" were overdoing it but it was too novel for him to risk following his gut and being wrong. We have much bigger fish to fry right now to worry about relitigating the c-19 debacle. Our boarder is being invaded and Biden has let in close to 10M so far including thousands of dangerous individuals. The economic burden of these 10M migrant invaders is staggering and piling on top of an unsustainable $34T in nation debt. So while Trump is far from perfect he is the only one we have lined up that has a chance of tackling the biggest issues we currently face (insecure southern boarder and need to remove 10M illegal immigrants, massive debt and deficits, out of control federal agencies-CIA, FBI, Justice department etc., and global instability).
You are a very brave kitty, El Gato… I did not know you had lived in Puerto Rico…. May I ask how many toes you have?? Here’s my short answer… I agree with you about mistakes made by both of our far from perfect candidates. Here’s where I see the difference…Trump’s mistakes were honest , some due to his handicapping ego, as many if not more by members of his Cabinet, government health officials and Republican office holders fervently wishing him to publicly fail and be gone. The Biden Syndicate’s lies are carefully plotted with Machiavellian pre meditated intention to lie, obfuscate and protect those complicit…all with a willing and able assist from the DNC and their in the trenches liberal media soldiers. At this point, Biden could shit himself in public and the media would say Trump put ex lax in his ice cream…. An exaggeration, but that’s the maturity level of the media today.

What I would pay to be at a Trump townhall and dress him down about this.
I will never forget. He's damn lucky the other alternative is Totalitarianism.
LOL I'm currently working on an article about how the greatest obstacle faced by Republicans in 2024 is Republicans. This is yet another example.

Trump listened to Fauci. He believed in the science. Many people did. (I didn't.) Joe Biden tighten the screws. Why all the blame on Trump?
If not Trump, then who? Who else can galvanize the masses like Trump? Clearly he’s wrong on this issue, but who else is there?
