Trump was a superb and Bold leader who was the first to tackle China , Iran and illegal invasionPresident Joe R. Biden, how refreshing that sounds. What a refreshing day. Our divisive, erratic, foolish, conspiratorial, narcissistic President is gone, replaced by a President who deeply wants to unite us. Barring ill-advised preconceived notions about President Biden, his task should be easy. We are all Americans.
That said, although I voted for Biden for obvious reasons, not unlike 81 million Americans who did the same, I am a conservative Independent. That's official. In CA, we have to declare our political posture. Until I was driven out by Trump, for over a quarter of a century I was a declared Republican. I voted for Biden, but I have some reservations concerning him, mostly having to do with taxation and spending.
I said all that because I want to be honest with readers. I want them to know where I am coming from.
Whether or not Biden will be a good President is obviously an open question, but I think he is a good man. He will do his best to unite us and adopt policies that benefit all Americans, while removing those policies that do us harm. He wants the United States to rejoin the community of nations, and the days of isolation and making unitary decisions that involve other nations, in particular our traditional allies, are over.
The European Union's top politician, Ursula von der Leyen, said it best. "After four long years, Europe has a friend in the White House."
For the first time in four years, there is optimism in America created by a popular President. 59% of Americans approve of Biden.
On day one, Trump's approval rating was 40%, and, although it went lower than that, it never got much higher. Thus the reason for American optimism.
Etc
His popularity was never high because of the “ propaganda puppets in the media “
