The actual record shows Trump did not do a good job on immigration, did not do a good job on the wall, did not do a good job on trade, did not do a good job on manufacturing, did not do great on the economy, did an awful job on the pandemic, and drove the GOP to numerous losses.

Just a reminder that the entire, dangerous spending spree Dems want to cram into law would not be possible if Donald Trump hadn't caused the GOP to lose Georgia. The loss of both Senate seats there was almost entirely Trump's fault. No Republican should ever vote for him again.

On Navalny, Trump says: “It’s happening in our country, too.” No, it isn’t. The US is better than Putin’s Russia—and if you can’t see that, you don’t really understand America. Infuriating. I don’t get how any red-blooded American can sit & nod to this.
