It makes sense. In 2016, the slogan was Make America Great Again. His 2020 slogan is Keep America Great.
He has delivered on his promises, America is now great again, why would you want to go back?
He has delivered on his promises, America is now great again, why would you want to go back?
Or rather is it a simple slogan one can confidently spew knowing it's impossible to prove?
(edit: I get that this is probably sarcasm, but it seems at least _SOME_ Americans believe it to be true)
Politicans like Sanders and Trump are rising because they focus more on issues like income inequality and declining quality of life for the lower and middle classes. Both address globalization and labor leverage, though they address it differently. While they are culturally diametrically opposed, they are still remaining popular because they are addressing these issues that other politicans don't address, seemingly because big money has caused them to ignore those issues.
I do not think money corrupts, if it did, then Republicans would be the first to suffer.
Trump is actually punishing China for the first time in decades. With Bolsonaro in office in Brazil we now control 80%+ of world soybean and corn production, meaning we can effectively starve China into compliance if necessary
Economy is doing well, wage growth is above inflation for the first time in decades, 3.1% as of today's jobs report.
Why not give credit for that to the previous administration?
Indeed.

Poe's law needs a grim reaper like avatar, ruining your karma when you thought you were making a joke.
If you try to measure Trump by some conventional, objective-reality based means, he is IMO, probably the worst president America's ever had.
But people didn't vote for him based on such reasons and his supporters don't judge him on such metrics. Trump is a subjective feeling and he makes his base feel pretty great, so...
I'm not a big fan of Trump, but I do have to admit he is delivering on what he said he'd do. Pass tax reform, curtail immigration, go up against China in terms of trade, get conservative judges on the Supreme Court, start the peace process with North Korea.
A lot of people may hate him, but he is getting a lot more stuff done than past presidents.
I know a lot of people assumed Trump’s policy stand was just rhetoric. Apparently it’s not!
