Trump’s Presidency Hasn’t Been All That Bad
I am generally satisfied with the first year of Donald Trumpโs presidency.ย ๐ Was it perfect? Of course not, the damn fool should keep off Twitter and act more presidential.๐ปโจ๐ฑ There is no need for stupid, racist remarks for sure.๐ก The man is president after all. He should be setting a good example, not a bad example for all Americans.๐น He shouldn’t reflect the crudest elements in our society. ๐ข Was President Obama a better, more mature, more stable president? I would say so.๐ค
All and all, things have been pretty good in America the first year of Trumpโs presidency. ๐We reached full employment at end of the Obama-presidency, but jobs have steadily increased, a bit at a slower number. ๐Inflation remains low, gas and energy prices remain quite affordable. Weโve stayed out of war in the Middle East and other parts of the world. โฎNearly everybody got a substantial tax cut, and Iโll be looking forward to that extra money in each paycheck.๐ค
Generally things aren’t looking that bad today, but ignoring the future for today’s benefit is a foolish policy. โ Deficit spending is one concern to be worried about. ๐ฐThe tax cuts are largely unpaid for with current policy. A bigger concern is ignoring our addiction to fossil fuels and the climate crisis.๐ขFossil fuels are not replenishing themselves, and carbon is only increasing in the air.๐ It hard to take seriously any president who doesn’t make climate change a top priority.
Itโs really hard to criticize the state of things today, ๐except maybe to say that politicians across the spectrum have gotten too ideological and too much into the habit of playing to their partyโs base. And that our president acts like a two-year old most of the time, at least on the Internet.๐ถ๐ผ But for the most part, things are running fairly well in our country, maybe in spite of the current occupant in the White House.๐
