I think Tom Nichols has nailed it

No one has brought the USA lower than Donald Trump. The economy is cratered, worst unemployment since the Great Depression, illegal border crossings had doubled from the Obama era. Massive deficits. The USA is no longer the most powerful country in the world, or the greatest economy. Trump has no international standing or power at all.

American policies? What would those be? Kidnapping refugee children and then deporting their parents? Locking up Michael Cohen for writing a book. Giving pardons and clemency to his criminal associates? Shovelling money to his billionaire buddies while working Americans are in food lines?

Trump's vision of a dystopian America from his Inauguation speech has been made real.

No one has brought the USA HIGHER than Donald Trump.

RECORD numbers on the economy, stopped the absurd practice of giving China unrestricted access to our valuable market, holding China accountable for cyber theft, taking Mexico and Central American countries to task for illegal immigration, created 4 million jobs, created over 400,000 manufacturing jobs, unemployment claims hit 50 year low, highest median wage in US history, lowest unemployment for blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and disabled in US history, lowest unemployment for women in over 70 years, lowest unemployment rate in US history for Americans without a high school diploma, 4 million Americans off food stamps, vocational training topped 4 million - highest in US history, opened ANWR and approved Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines thereby making America # 1 energy producer in the world (no other president ever did that)-best in US history, Obamacare individual mandate penalty GONE, FDA approved more affordable generic drugs than ever before in US history. > drug companies are freezing or reversing planned price increases, reformed the Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging low-income seniors on their drugs—saving seniors hundreds of millions of dollars, Signed Right-To-Try legislation, $6 billion in NEW funding to fight the opioid epidemic (the most in US history), Signed VA Choice Act and VA Accountability Act-first ones in US history, expanded VA telehealth services, walk-in-clinics, and same-day urgent primary and mental health care (I got surgeries and benefits from this myself), United States is a net natural gas exporter for the first time since 1957, withdrew the United States from the job-killing Paris Climate Accord, pressured NATO allies, and they're spending $69 billion more on defense since 2016, made the Space Force the 6th branch of the Armed Forces-firt ever in US history, withdrew from the horrible, one-sided Iran Deal, moved U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, protecting Americans from terrorists with the Travel Ban, upheld by Supreme Court, issued Executive Order to keep open Guantanamo Bay, MCA deal, reached a breakthrough agreement with the E.U. to increase U.S. exports, net exports increased by $59 billion in 2018, improved vetting and screening for refugees, and switched focus to overseas resettlement, we have begun BUILDING THE WALL.

OBAMA lowered the unemployment levels. Job growth SLOWED under Trump. OBAMA tripled the stock market. Market growth is stalled under Donald Trump.

OBAMA SIGNED THE VETERANS CHOICE ACT. Trump renewed it. And speaking of veterans, Trump ordered the VA to use hydroxychloroquine, which killed veterans at an alarming rate.

AP FACT CHECK: Trump takes credit for Obama's gains for vets

WASHINGTON (AP) — Boastful on the occasion of Memorial Day, President Donald Trump and his Veterans Affairs secretary are claiming full credit for health care improvements that were underway before they took office.

The Cult of Inferiority. This makes so much sense. We see it from the Rightwing here on this forum every single day. They know Trump’s a liar, is incompetent, can’t be trusted, is a Russian asset. But they don’t care. Trump over country. A failed businessman and second-rate reality TV host who has 5 children by 3 wives, all of them he’s cheated on. A narcissist who spray-paints himself orange and won’t go out in the rain because of his hair. A deeply unmanly phony.
