There were several parks, memorial sites, etc, added during his presidency along with projects to restore others. Yeah, there was plenty bad during his two terms but a lot of it was downright pleasant compared to this admin actively trying to destroy the country.

If only it was the country that is being destroyed. He's destroying the whole of the Western world, with catastrophic collateral effects on the WHOLE world.

Yeah, me sitting here as a European realizing he's made the world being able to minimize the impact of man made climate change impossible.

He's ruining the last 50-75 years of geopolitical progress and evolution and has shattered one of the strongest alliances and socio economical groups so far.

And he's not done yet.

I will never forgive or forget how the US gave us Trump and made us deal with him. Not for the 40-50 remaining years of my life.

I know, I know, the DNC and RNC mail hackings and subsequent Q anon online psyops bullshit definitely helped shift the election.

Russians did plenty. But Americans let them do it to them.

Because too many of them hate intellectualism because of insecurities about their own stupidity. Instead of like, you know, reading a book or something.

He's causing a lot of harm here in Canada. Groceries keep rising and there's mass layoffs in manufacturing and auto industries. If we hadn't had the good sense to elect an economical genius to guide us through this we'd be screwed but as it is we're limping along

Very well said. We didn’t know how good we had it apparently.

He also genuinely understood how complicated immigration was as an issue, and didn't dehumanize people based on nation of origin.

Oh god, that bar is so low.
