Safer and more secure border.
World's most prosperous economy.

Since it's too much to write, to remind you this WAS your life for his first 4 years.

I am so sorry that you are not looking forward to a president that is FOR you. Idk why you dems want to be unstable and suffering.

Enjoy your.... good life the next 4 years.

Can't believe I'm apologizing for someone's life being normal. The media has messed you up.

The American president can't control global trends or events. Covid, supply chain problems, inflation, wars, they all happen under whichever president there is at the time. If Trump had been re-elected in 2020 the world would look similar today, except Ukraine probably would've lost the war already. Inflation is a global phenomenon.

Trump will again inherit a good economy from a Democratic president. If he actually does what he's campaigned on(deporting millions, 20% tariffs), the economy will be in the shitter again, just as he left it for Biden.

Or maybe its a sign voters reject this narrative of doom and division and tyranny and vote for issues, self interest and their own rational beliefs. You've bought fully into the idea Trump represents racism, regression, totalitarianism and moral decline. A wide swathe of races, social moderates, libertarians and multiple religious communities backed him either overwhelmingly or at truly record numbers for a republican.

The media tells us that Trump having a comedian precede him with a crude joke about Puerto Rico means a monolithic bloc of hispanics will vote him down. Instead they propelled him into office days later. Maybe the message of unity is winning. Maybe people actually believe in Making America Great Again instead of wallowing in communal self loathing and liberal flagellism

Well, it's a sign that the environment(economy, inflation, right track/wrong track opinions) matters above all and voters have the memory of a goldfish, and/or don't really care about criminality, tyranny, and immorality. Or, for the vast majority, they are simply so low-information they couldn't coherently explain any of the myriad of disqualifying acts or statements by Trump. The cult is a small minority, most people simply have no idea about much of anything.

The appearance of a president and what he represents certainly can. Lets see what happens when stocks open. Exactly 8 years ago today, stagnating economy took off like a rocket purely on the promise of Trump's platform. And it makes sense, as macroeconomics are driven more by confidence than direct policy changes. Remember how Krugman infamously prognosticated in these hours between Trump's win and the stock open that the Dow would crash and burn, and couldn't predict it going to the moon in less time than a d2 ironman lasts?

/r well not the last PARD ironman, you fucks died to rakanishu and that WAS 8 years ago iirc

A hack liberal columnist said something stupid... breaking news.

Presidents have some effect on the economy but it's relatively minor. We can all look at inflation numbers around the world. Biden's overspending probably made our inflation a little worse but the overall situation is not his fault. And America's economy in 2018 wasn't mostly because of Trump, and the shitty economy he left Biden wasn't mostly his fault. It's global trends and normal economic cycles. This isn't some brilliant insight but I guess people have to pretend that the politicians they love deserve credit for everything that goes right.
