Why many Americans dont hate Trump as much as you think they should

A recent chat with an American friend brought up an old Franco-era joke that fits todays politics: someone needs to get far-far away just to say that a leader “isnt all bad“

Donald Trumpʼs possible comeback makes sense when you look past the noise. While his words often sound wild (like talking about people eating pets)‚ many Americans see past his character flaws; they look at his track-record instead

During Bidenʼs time things went ok-ish: job numbers grew wages went up but grocery prices jumped way too high (eggs cost almost twice as much). His age-related issues and Kamala Harrisʼs presence dont help Democratsʼ case

Here are some facts about Trumpʼs time that media doesnt talk about much:

  • No new wars started
  • Stock-market hit best numbers since 1920s
  • Jobs reached 50-year high
  • Ocean clean-up bills passed
  • Airport breast-feeding spaces appeared
  • Federal workers got paid leave
  • Black unemployment dropped to new lows

His global-trade ideas – which seemed crazy in 2016 – are now copied by others: Biden uses China tariffs controls borders and brings jobs back home. Even Europe has moved closer to Trump-style thinking (except about Ukraine)

The truth is Trumpʼs “America-first“ approach matches what democracy should do – focus on local needs. While he faces many legal issues its worth noting that other leaders did similar things: just look at Hunter Bidenʼs recent conviction

The world faces real problems now: Iran works on nukes Putin tests missiles mental-health gets worse. Some think Trump might be risky; but staying on the same path could be even more dangerous
