In November you should consider being placed on suicide watch.You know, Trump could have died a rich [albeit, bitter] man without much scrutiny of his ill-gotten wealth (as could Manafort)........But, his ego made him choose politics, and the scrutiny may indeed land this charlatan in very serious trouble.......if not prison.
Sure, his cult base (being what Trump himself cited as "poorly educated") will inevitably stick by him repeating the ignorant mantra that he has done all that they wanted to accomplish.....and, I will readily if grudgingly admit that regarding the appointment of conservative federal judges he has done just that.........HOWEVER
When it comes to unemployment being very low......the credit (for smarter voters) really belongs to Obama.....Obama took the unemployment rate from over 10% to 4.7%; while Trump has ridden on that good economy and lowered it a "whopping" .3% morel
When it comes to tax cuts for the middle class, we should be reminded of the Bureau of Labor Stats that recently reported that wages have actually DROPPED in the past 12 months after adjusting for inflation.
When it comes to illegal immigration, The AP reported ".......that Trump over-generalizes about people who arrive illegally in the U.S. Several studies have shown that immigration does not lead to increased crime. Foreign-born immigrants are less likely to commit crime than native-born Americans, the research found, but crime rates rise for succeeding generations as the children and grandchildren of immigrants become more like native-born Americans....."
When t comes to foreign diplomacy.......the reality is rather shocking. We have pissed off most of our allies and emboldened our enemies like Iran, NK and....of course,,,,,Russia.
Given Trump's poor performance in virtually ALL aspects of governance, and his (and his family's) mounting LEGAL WOES perhaps his 2020 slogan should be, "Vote for me and keep me out of prison for at least 4 more years."
(BTW, Trump's slogan of MAGA, was "stolen from Reagan, who used the slogan, "Let's make America great again"........Just another little tidbit that Trump steals from others to the cheers of his ignorant base.)
