He _uses_ populism, but not on issues intended to benefit the common people. He will push policy to help the filing industry, pocket some kickbacks in the form of contracts to his hotels/resorts from those companies and their lobbyists, and then tell the people that this is great news for them (a claim his base will not question).
- kevin_thibedeau 3y agoHis administration did streamline the 1040 into one basic form with addendums rather than the senseless three variant system from years past.

He's just a total asshole who spread conspiracy theories to avoid taking responsibility for allowing Covid to spread, damaged America's reputation with its allies, and packed the cabinet and federal courts full of corrupt industry shills, who in turn tried to sabotage those institutions from their appointed positions. GWB was worse by far. At least Trump didn't start two massive unnecessary 20-year-long foreign wars that ended up doing nothing but slaughtering millions of civilians, thousands of US citizens, wreaking widespread destruction of both human and non-human environments, and cost US taxpayers untold trillions of dollars that could have been spent elsewhere.
