Yes, I know everyone hates Donald J. Trump.
And I know that most people have such a distorted view of his actions that someone could probably write an accurate biography with a fake name, and he would not be recognized by the left or the right.
But, please. He was the president, and he did a tremendous amount of things by all counts. He changed the world's attitude towards China and towards the Middle East.
Any other president would probably have used Covid to become dictator (see other countries), he instead boosted the States' power.
You may think that he made changes for the better, you may think for the worse. But he is commander in chief and he is leaving by all counts in another week.
A little respect looks a lot better and is much more manly than acting like a big baby and sore winner.

(My own life was changed greatly by Trump's policies, but that would be anecdotal, and therefore not relevant.) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/11/opinion/fact-check-trump.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/11/opinion/fact-check-trump.... https://www.thenationalsentinel.com/2020/10/10/heres-a-list-of-trumps-massive-accomplishments-from-a-guy-who-didnt-vote-for-him-in-2016-but-would-crawl-over-broken-glass-to-do-so-in-2020/ https://www.thenationalsentinel.com/2020/10/10/heres-a-list-... https://logiclogiclogic.wordpress.com/2020/08/31/what-a-terrible-president-the-comprehensive-list-of-trump-accomplishments/ https://logiclogiclogic.wordpress.com/2020/08/31/what-a-terr...

- jlgaddis 6y agoI know, right!? John Wayne Gacy [0] has a bad reputation and isn't well-liked either, just because he "assaulted and murdered at least 33 young men and boys." No one ever talks about all the good things that he did, like bringing happiness and joy to so many by performing as a clown -- usually at no charge! -- "at numerous local parties, political functions, charitable events, and children's hospitals." Instead, they always just focus on that one bad thing he did (at least 33 times). </sarcasm> -- [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne_Gacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne_Gacy
