Actually, withdrawing from Afghanistan is no easy feat. The US stirred up a hornet's nest and it's a shame that we couldn't make peace over there. But, the lesson is to not go searching for trouble and not disturbing what we know very little about. I doubt the military knew exactly what they were getting into when the war in Afghanistan started. They thought it would be quick and easy. I don't think it's fair to blame a president for "disastrous" withdrawal of troops. The situation over there is a disaster. The US has a way of picking fights with others. The US made a mess of things in Iraq as well. It was relatively peaceful under Saddam Hussein.
1. Inflation which hasn’t been seen since the 1970’s.
Btw, inflation always exists. It goes up and down. Managing inflation is not easy and presidents are usually not well-informed on economics. Economics is hard to understand for most people.
This page from the RBA in Australia explains in fairly simple terms.
https://www.rba.gov.au/education/resour ... ation.htmlHow can you control inflation if you cannot control demand? Demand is constantly changing. Market behavior is hard to predict and manage. It is not like pressing a button to make inflation go down. Sorry, doesn't work that way!
3. Millions, literally millions of illegal aliens have poured over the southern border. Millions of mostly illiterate people who are going to be a burden on America who will never bother to speak English.
Hate to break it to you, but illegal immigration has always been an ongoing struggle for the border police in the US. It depends on situations in other countries. Those "aliens" have reasons for wanting to escape their homeland and no one can stop them from wanting to escape. Some come from dictatorships and those people really fear for their lives. They want a safe place to live.
4 A fentanyl crisis which has killed countless people.
There has been a drug problem in the US for decades. Today it's fentanyl but in the 90s, it was drugs like ectasy and LSD. In the US, it's easy to get these drugs if you know suppliers and of course, there's always money to be made.
5. More concerned about the sexually abnormal and transsexuals than normal human beings.
This issue is a cultural issue and it's more like a movement, like the civil rights movement. No one can silence the activists. Those people are voters as well so it's important to include them and let them feel heard.
Name one thing this man has done.
Given Americans stimulus checks. There were 2 runs of the stimulus checks for tax payers. I got 2. I think they were for taxpayers who made less than 75 grand a year.
Given stimulus checks to businesses who were suffering during the early years of the pandemic particularly businesses in the tourist and hospitality management industries. Airlines got some help as demand for flights was very low in 2020 until 2022. Without the checks, many businesses would have failed.
There was also the Paycheck Protection Program.
