Every president fights for prosperity. Look at who's prosperity they're fighting for.
Trump's fighting to take away pre-existing conditions in the courts. His budget is trying to cut SNAP, WIC, medicare & medicaid.

The Trump family cashed in for millions; thanks to lower top rates, deep corp cuts; weakening estate tax; breaks that mostly help wealthy business owners like Trump; & real-estate loopholes for rich landlords built into the law.

Trickle down doesn't help you, working-class conservatives - but the GOP keept talking about abortion & immigrants so you'll keep enabling them to do it.
And spoiler alert: the tariff war didn't hurt China, it hurt you. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-has-turned-the-government-against-the-middle-class-2019-08-14

So, jobs.
DT grew 1.5 mil fewer jobs in his 1st 3 yrs than Obama's last 3.
Ask your Trump-loving friends which Obama economic trend Trump reversed, rather than merely continued & took credit.
The Obama economic expansion ended on Trump's watch in Feb, before lockdown.

And I think we've learned
that a president
lying about Covid-19,
hundreds of times;
while not having a national strategy 5 months in,
does not help
small business.
Also, worth remembering that businessman Trump outsourced his own merch manufacturing to Mexico & China.

Now, Criminal Justice.
The First Steps Act was a bipartisan, big step to real reform; DT gets credit for signing it.
He gets EXTRA credit bc it's the opposite of what he campaigned on.
And y'know, he literally called for more police brutality. https://www.americanprogressaction.org/issues/security/news/2020/06/15/177851/trumps-record-police-brutality-peaceful-protests-making-problem-worse/

Trump also boasts that Obama couldn't get it done.
And that's true, bc when Obama wanted bipartisan CJ reform, Jeff Sessions & Tom Cotton killed it.
Must've been something about Obama they just didn't like. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/how-first-step-act-became-law-and-what-happens-next

Again, it's true he gets credit for signing it.
It's also true that Bill Barr is trying to undo as much of The First Steps Act as possible right now:
Barr proves Trump doesn't actually care about criminal justice reform, or even criminal justice. https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2020/02/trump-just-bragged-about-criminal-justice-reform-look-closer-at-how-his-administration-is-undoing-it/

And he also gets credit for continuing STEM funding to HCBUs.
But then he had to go and lie about it in Davos: “I saved HBCUs. We saved them...They were going out, and we saved them.”
I know, just another of 20k lies; but what a leader, right? https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2020-01-21/ap-fact-check-trump-spreads-distortions-at-davos

Opportunity Zones was orig a bipartisan proposal by Tim Scott and Cory Booker.
After Trump merely signed it, Jared cashed in.

Then Trump couldn't just brag; he had to go and lie in both Tulsa & Phoenix that $100 billion had been invested in opportunity zones. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/06/trumps-unsupported-claim-about-opportunity-zone-investments/

Finally, our military was so depleted we were only spending more $ on it than:
China
Russia
UK
Japan
France
Saudi Arabia
S. Korea
India
Germany
Italy
& Brazil
combined.
You're too smart for these grifters, @NanHayworth.
I've lied to you 20,000 times fewer than Trump.
