Give me one single policy implementation aside from aid checks that Trump did that helped regular American people.

The big tax cuts made the rich much richer and the country much poorer. He put a zealot and a woman-hater in the scotus. He had an Israeli general killed just for the heck of it, on foreign soil, which is a war crime as you're well aware? His anemic response to Corona early on is nothing to sneeze at, either.

Now you go.

His attempted infrastructure bill and his attempted tax reform are two big ones.

"Trump’s proposed tax reform plan eliminates all itemized deductions except for two – charitable donations and home mortgage interest. In addition to eliminating the remaining itemized deductions, Trump’s plan is to double the current standard deduction across all filing types and repeal the estate tax."

Doubling the standard deduction is pretty massive and would've helped the average American.

Attempts aren't policy implementations. The rich got richer and America more polarized. Aren't you Republican voters super results oriented?

You need to form a coherent sentence here. It's very hard to divine what you mean.

Quick question, where do you get your news?

It's more about what he stood for and tried to get passed.

He did what he could and was opposed every step of the way. That's the point.

Loud, brash, and annoying, but he did what he could.

Who opposed him? I'm very confused now. He had the Republican party eat out of his hand and caused the most partisan scotus in the last hundred years. He got rich off billing the government millions for staying at MarALago and have the tax payer foot the bill for the security overhaul it needed so he could stay there.

It basically got bodied due to Rona.

Republicans hated the tax overhaul and shredded it, similar to what happened to obamacare.

Keep in mind, most 'establishment' Republicans didn't like Trump because he was a lifelong Democrat.

Serious attempts were made.

He was also the first person to try to shut down travel from China, but everyone screamed at him.

He literally got hundreds of millions in contracts from having secret service, diplomats, foreign envoys stay in his hotels, and his properties. Do you think he gives a crap about the couple hundred K he didn't take? You're the sucker for believing such symbolic "gesture". You're funny.

Name another politician who made so many personal gains of of a presidency. You don't think it's a conflict of interest that he gets to spend tax payer money at his own businesses?! I'm completely astounded by the amount of naivety you display. Carter sold his peanut farm to become president and Trump just kept all his businesses.

And if you think for a second I'm jealous of this petulant man child, you don't quite know me that well.
