You fool. That happened because Trump's mismanagemebnt of covid ended in a 14.8% unemployment rate that devalued everything because of the lack of money. No one wants to go back to that.

Even with the Obama/Fauci bio-weapon, Trump did very well. Stop believing the bullshit.
And beats Biden by a country mile.

“Key Trump Defense Official Refutes Blinken, Says Trump Left Afghan Withdrawal Plan For Biden
A former key Defense Department official is calling out the Biden team for claiming that the Trump administration did not leave Joe Biden a plan for the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
During an interview with Just The News, Kash Patel — the former chief of staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller — hit back against claims from Secretary of State Antony Blinken for claiming that the Trump administration did not leave Biden a plan for the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Blinken testified before Congress that Trump left Biden a deadline for leaving Afghanistan without a plan. Patel responded to that claim by saying: “No, absolutely not.” Patel accused Blinken of playing “politics with the national security apparatus of the United States.”
“We actually did not leave them a deadline,” he said. “It was a negotiation between the U.S. government, the Taliban, and the Afghans. And if that date was not to work for this incoming administration, they could have moved it.”
Patel said Trump’s overall plan was to “peacefully negotiate yourself out of Afghanistan with a conditions-based withdrawal. And the world knew that was President Trump’s plan.”
“And they knew that they couldn’t cross at least President Trump’s threat to rain down on them, should they harm a U.S. personnel or allied member,” Patel said. “And that was the difference, really, between our plan and their plan.”
When asked about what the Trump administration’s plans would have been, Patel said: “American citizens would be drawn out first, safely, and we would identify them through the process that is in place when you methodically do something with the military, the State Department, and the intelligence community.”
“There’s a difference when you evacuate versus proactively go get them,” Patel added.
The plan, he said, “was to make sure we got to every American before we left the military, before we left Bagram [Air Base], before we left equipment, and left a crisis like the Biden administration did.”
As for the plan for leaving Bagram Air Base, Patel said that it was “the very last thing we do in the country after Americans were out after our equipment was out and/or destroyed, after the thousands of detainees at Bagram were adjudicated” and airlifted out of the country.”
Patel rounded out his comments by arguing that the Biden administration “bucked” NATO allies at Bagram “when Biden said, ‘We’re up and leaving.'” 'What They Chose To Do Was Break The Entire Agreement': Trump Actually Did It - Report Reveals Biden Was Left a Withdrawal Plan: Kash Patel Claims

Let's review: which is stupid, voting for this or against it.
- Under Trump gasoline was about $1.80 a gallon….but you voted against that
- Under Trump we were energy independent….but you voted against that.
- Under Trump 80% of illegal alien were kept in Mexico….but you voted against that.
- Under Trump inflation was 1.4%….but you voted against that.
- Under Trump crime was far lower, as were homicides….but you voted against that.
- Under Trump Iran was kept in a box….but you voted against that.
- Under Trump America had an airbase near both China and Iran….but you voted against that.
- Under Trump our President wasn’t on China’s payroll….but you voted against that.
- Under Trump cartels weren’t free to operate….but you voted against that.
- Under Trump government didn’t favor racism, CRT, gender mutilation….but you voted against that.
- Under Trump we didn’t have confiscatory tax policy….but you voted against that.
- Under Trump we didn’t have a government working with big tech to end free speech….but you voted against that.
You wrote: "Under Trump America had an airbase near both China and Iran….but you voted against that."
In fact it was Trump who negotiated our exit from Afghanistan. Did he negotiate continued US military access to Bagram? He did not, he negotiated the exit of the US military from Afghanistan.
What you should have written was: "Under Trump, America abandoned an airbase near both China and Iran….but you voted for that." But that would have required a level of honesty, sorely lacking in your post.

Try to stick to words you can define....although it might leave you mute.
A good thing, actually.
Abandoned????? Trump????? Hardly.
This is what your party abandoned to the enemies of America:
the Taliban seized way more ScanEagle drones than the government is saying they did. There is no accounting on the number of crashed units.
Direct Quote from Report
“This also raises concerns about how NAVAIR justified procuring 105 ScanEagle vehicles totaling over $32 million and spare parts totaling over $52 million, and future planned procurements.”
This week, the SIGAR audit on the $174 million drone loss disappeared from its website. Here is the link that was removed.
Here is a breakdown of estimated vehicle costs:
- Armored personnel carriers such as the M113A2 cost $170,000 each and recent purchases of the M577A2 post carrier cost $333,333 each.
- Mine resistant vehicles ranges from $412,000 to $767,000. The total cost could range between $382 million to $711 million.
- Recovery vehicles such as the ‘truck, wrecker’ cost between for the base model $168,960 and $880,674 for super strength versions.
- Medium range tactical vehicles include 5-ton cargo and general transport trucks were priced at $67,139. However, the family of MTV heavy vehicleshad prices ranging from $235,500 to $724,820 each. Cargo trucks to transport airplanes cost $800,865.
- Humvees – ambulance type (range from $37,943 to $142,918 with most at $96,466); cargo type, priced at $104,682. Utility Humvees were typically priced at $91,429. However, the 12,000 lb. troop transport version cost up to $329,000.
- Light tactical vehicles: Fast attack combat vehicles ($69,400); and passenger motor vehicles ($65,500). All terrain 4-wheel vehicles go up to $42,273 in the military databases.
UPDATE: Biden's Gift to Taliban Included 110 Helicopters, 20 Light Attack Airplanes, 42,000 Light Attack Vehicles, 25,000 Grenade Launchers
If you thought the Joe Biden Afghanistan disaster was bad now – things are going to get much worse. Joe Biden supplied the Taliban terrorist organization and their Islamist accomplices with billions of dollars worth of US armaments. Rather than destroying the equipment before leaving the...

The weapons were purposely left, and in good condition for the Taliban so they could continue the fight that America had lost.
The 13 dead Americans weren't killed by the Taliban. The US and the Taliban were on friendly terms and still are.
Which president takes credit for the military's deal isn't important. The success is important.

If you are old enough to remember Watergate you might remember relentless "investigative" WAPO reporters Woodward and Bernstein and an anonymous "informant" deep inside the Nixon administration giving breathless unverified reports every day. Contrast that to any democrat presidency including Clinton and Obama and now Biden. There are no investigative reporters and everyone else is is in the business of concealing the truth from the American public rather than revealing it. Anybody think a democrat administration would tolerate unverified information from an anonymous informant who's identity wasn't revealed until after he died? If there was such a person the FBI would hunt him down faster than the Jan 6 trespassers.
America DID start it, you idiot.
Victoria Nuland started it.
You're completely out of touch with reality.

No, this was all on your fantasy island.
You're a moron
You can only blame yourself.
Trump had a travel ban and you called him a racist.
So he left it up to the governors.
Cuomo in NY killed 6000 people because he couldn't manage his way out of a paper bag.
Newsom in CA put 20% of the restaurants out of business.
Blame your governors.

The Fourth Estate is the most corrupt organization in the nation today. Control of this body is central to the Marxist agenda.
Communism was one of the totalitarian dogma’s that arose from the French Revolution, and their theoretician was Antonio Gramschi.
“Antonio Gramsci, the philosopher who became the iconic thinker of the 1960s, laid down the blueprint for precisely what has happened in Britain: the capture of all society's institutions, such as schools, universities, churches, the media, the legal profession, the police and voluntary groups. This intellectual elite was persuaded to sing from the same subversive hymn-sheet so that the moral beliefs of the majority would be replaced by the values of those on the margins of society, the perfect ambience in which the Muslim grievance culture could be fanned into the flames of extremism.
At the core of those Western majority values lay the Mosaic code, which first gave the world the concept of morality, self-discipline and laws regulating behavior. Who, then, could be surprised that the Jews found themselves in the left's crosshairs?” Phillips, “Londonistan,” P.118-119

A thousand comedians out of work and you are trying to take your shot.
Most people realize that currency devaluation comes about because of TOO MUCH money chasing too few goods, NOT the lack of money. Like I said, most people.
China's Capitalist system under communist leadership has already made gains that will soon take China forward to global supremacy.
The only valid criticism of China's system would have to be negative effects on the Chinese people.
But China has already performed the miracle of elevating hundreds of millions of its people up out of poverty!
Once again proving that Capitalism works!
