I do not know how much more of this craziness put out by the Trump campaign anyone has to see to finally decide this man, and now his running mate, are woefully unfit to be at the helm of this country. They are desperate to talk about anything, no matter how outrageous, to deflect from the terrible policies they hope to implement if put into office. The unbelievable nonsense they have spread about Springfield, Ohio is the latest example.
They have put that city through hell, because of lunkheads who believe that they need to cause havoc over a non-existent problem. Trump’s choice for Vice President is the best indicator of his lack of decency. I cannot believe that JD Vance got to be a senator — he seems to be hung up on childless women and now turns around to disparage a city in the very state he represents because he and Trump find it politically expedient to disparage migrants.
Most of these people are hard working, they want to do well and not be deported. I have worked around these people, many who work hard and with contractors in construction or electrical jobs or as equipment operators. They are good at what they do, and they do many of the jobs many Americans shy away from.
They are more benefit to our economy than a burden. It was obvious Trump had no plan for anything other than keeping migrants out of the country when Kamala Harris trounced him during the debate. This was because as usual, he didn’t prepare properly and just tried to shoot from the hip and hope he hits something.
It seems, and it bears out, that whatever he says, baseless or not, his followers will believe it, no matter how little sense it makes. He says outrageous things because it works. Trump’s message is always doom and gloom for the country.
I look at the TV and I see sports stadiums full of people, with parking lots full of cars, I see concert goers travel the country for shows, I see lines at Starbucks waiting to pay upwards of $8 for coffee while complaining about the $3.50 cost of a gallon of gasoline. I see tractor-trailers crowding the nation’s highways — yet people have no money to spend? There is no investment going on? It goes on.
I see stock markets rising to historic levels. I see corporate profits skyrocket, but I also see poverty and people who don’t have as much, but those people weren’t thrown into their stage in life because of Democrat policies, they were most likely poor under Trump as well. I do not see a failing, devastated nation as Trump puts it.
So when you ask, “Are you better off now than four years ago?” I have to say yes. People have such short memories of how it was under Trump. Hundreds of thousands of lives were needlessly lost because of his inaction during the pandemic — because he knew better than the scientists.
His tariffs didn’t stem the flow of much of anything, it just cost us more. Again, he knew more than economists, the same with the military. And finally, please explain to me how the Biden policies that brought this booming economy and tamed the inflation everyone complains about are to blame about in the first place? Harris deserves our support, not Trump.
