There's no reason to block you, there's just good reason to feel sad for you. Here's a FACT about you and all maga's, and why your request is a waste of time and energy for the thinking person:

* No matter what statistics are presented, you will deny they are facts and say they're fake because they don't fit your agenda. It can be anything from the 1st term to the bs in between terms to what's going on in this term. You will deny the sources as legitimate and point only to your own.

* Here's a great example of the above:
" Donald Trump has received 140 "Pants on Fire" ratings from PolitiFact since 2011. In 2020 alone, he received 31 of these ratings. Obviously you discount Politifact, or any fact-checking that is not right-wing based. But here's the thing about "pants on fire"; they are outright LIES. There's no "perspective" or "spin" on what was said, they're just complete and total fabrications.

My favorites are often the meaningless petty ones, like when he spoke at a Boy Scouts Convention. He gave a horrible, politically infested speech that was too long and inappropriate. After he got back to DC, he claimed not only was it "the best speech ever", but that the head of the Boy Scouts organization wrote him a letter and told him so, praising his speech, etc.

It NEVER happened. There was no such letter. His press secretary spun it off as a misquote. The FACT is that the head of the Boy Scouts then issued a statement to the press that he sent "no such letter". Here's what Michael Surbaurgh, head of the Boy Scouts of America had to say:

In a statement issued on July 27, 2017, Surbaugh expressed regret that political rhetoric had overshadowed the event, saying, "I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree. That was never our intent". There are 139 more registered total fabrications from that year alone.

As of October 2019, The Washington Post had documented 13,435 false or misleading claims made by Trump over 993 days. During a 64-minute news conference on August 8, 2024, NPR counted over 162 misstatements, exaggerations, and outright lies, averaging more than two per minute.

I could go over policies, all the laws he's broken (the Emoluments Clause is a good one), the theft of top secret documents and sharing the info with friends, the never ending lie about the election, the gutting of essential services this term, the entire DOGE fiasco, giving federal contracts to his buddies, ad nauseum.

Point is, you and the cult will deny he's EVER done anything wrong, or even told a single lie to the American public. You will all the policy decisions he made that hurt Americans, and the laws he wanted past to hurt Americans, and his denying EVER knowing a THING about Project 2025.

This is just part of why talking to you, or any maga, is a complete and utter waste of time. The only thing worse than Trump are the sycophants who believe and support him. I've no doubt your response, if there is one and don't feel obliged to give one, will be hilariously entertaining.

LOL,

You must be inbred.

If “greatest” means strong economy, you could argue Bill Clinton oversaw longer sustained GDP growth, lower debt-to-GDP ratios, and budget surpluses.
If “greatest” means foreign policy achievements, George H. W. Bush’s skill in managing the peaceful end of the Cold War and Gulf War coalition-building.
If “greatest” means legislative accomplishments, Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, and Medicare into law.

Trump’s economy pre-COVID: Strong GDP growth, record stock market, low unemployment. However: The trend lines (job growth, GDP growth) were already rising since 2010, and slowed slightly under Trump compared to Obama’s second term.
Debt: National debt rose by about $7.8 trillion under Trump — the third-largest increase relative to GDP in modern history.

Trumps inconsistent messaging, and lack of national testing coordination led to higher U. S. death rates compared to other wealthy countries.

Trump energized his base like no president in decades. But he also saw historically low approval ratings from independents and an impeachment record.

Ronald Reagan: Ended stagflation, contributed to ending the Cold War, huge public approval.
Barack Obama: Oversaw recovery from the Great Recession, passed Affordable Care Act, high international approval.
George H. W. Bush: Managed U. S. diplomacy during major geopolitical shifts with high global respect.

Trump is a convicted felon, sexual predator, fraudster, and impeached president, who has had more failed businesses and bankruptcies than any other president in the world.

This isn't even all the facts on why Trump should be in jail, and forgotten. Or why anyone calling him the "greatest" shot in each leg and left in the desert to crawl back.

He has yet to accomplish anything he promised in his campaign. Not one.

IHaveRespawned · Answer

I like the following:

1. American-first policies

2. Fiercly tackling illegal immigration

3. Shrinking big FEDERAL government (Tenth Amendment of the Constitution states powers not given to the federal government nor prohibited to the states is given to the STATES). But in return, citizens need to hold their state leaders accountable.

4. Reducing or eliminating the Department of Education (Why does the federal government have any right to dictate how states want to approach their own education?)

Issues I am disappointed in:

1. Inflation and prices of everyday essentials are still choking the average, everyday American. This was an issue Trump promised to address early in his presidency.

2. Escalating tensions with our adversaries... Trump promised to end these wars with a phone call on day one

3. I am disgusted with the obscurity of the Epstein Files everyone demands to be released. Does Trump have something to hide?

WilliamPamer446 · Answer

I used to think so, cuz I'm a GenZ kid who had to grow up with bush and Obama then have to deal with Biden later. but around 2022-2024 he started to seem to turn his back on america first and be more of a reactionary than try to get American culture forward and make government smaller he worked with a known Beast System Agent (Musk) and he coddles rich people which is against the Bible and he doesn't seem to follow Christian or conservative morals in his perseronal life and cares about libertarian for his friends I thought he was innocent but he started to look creepy with beauty pageant and epstein files

Syntosi · Answer

If Trump is so great then why did only 29% of Americans vote for him in 2024? Also, why did he lose against Biden in 2020?

Furthermore, why is Trumps approval rating historically low, only rivaled by his approval rating during his 1st term?

Does not sound that great to me.

He's playing with fire with the economy. I hear a lot of talk of what's going to happen but until deals are actually signed, words mean nothing. If the tariffs continue to be overturned in the courts, the economy will be fine but if his tariffs continue at the level of the 1930 Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act, then history will repeat itself and he could go down in history as the worst president in our lifetime.

WindAtMyBack · Answer

He's sure as hell not the greatest in my lifetime.

Proof? You gotta be kidding. You know that's not possible. If you want proof, lead by example and provide proof for your own claim.

I can think of at least three who were better, and some more who might be.

Trump is BY FAR the worst Republican in my lifetime. And he's also worse than some Democrats.

exitseven · Answer

As much as they hate to admit it , President Trump is the most influential president in history. In just 6 months he has transformed the country. It really is going to be the Golden Age of America.

DrPepper12 · Answer

He is the greatest!!! Just not in any laudable category. He's certainly the greatest sociopathic narcissist to ever hold the job and that's saying something

Twalli · Answer

You need to be conviced thst a convicted felon (fact) is not the best president in the last 50 years?
He's alienated most of our allies (fact) and embraced or capitulated to our enemies (fact).
He's drastically increased the national debt (fact).
He's violating multiple laws and amendments (fact)

Enough facts to conclude that there was a better president in the last 50 years?
