re:Why does Joe Biden’s success upset Trump supporters?

Description

No leader in this, or any country will ever represent ALL of the population. There will always be people who oppose anything anyone in that position does. Biden isn't sitting there calling all Republicans assholes like Trump did with Democrats. And what exactly are your needs? Let's see: Immigration? Border is as secure today as it was under Obama and Trump. Same requirements to enter the country legally. Illegal entries will always occur and to be honest, I'm not sure how you count those. It's not like there's someone asking, "legal or illegal?". So how could anyone know how many are coming illegally. Oh, and it's not just the hispanics, the rest of the world uses Canada to get here. And there's nowhere near as many border guards. The Swamp? Still there. Trump never tried to "drain it". He tried to add his own alligators and they were eaten alive. China? Trump's policies towards China left our farmers with a lot of unsold goods and heavy debt. He thought he was gonna charge China more for our stuff and they said, "No thanks, we'll buy from Russia and Europe." The issues that upset most Americans about Trump were his lying, his taking credit for things he had nothing to do with, his constant bragging about knowing "more than the generals" or "more than the doctors", his desire to keep America divided, his blaming others for his failures, his hypocrisy, his silver-spooned asswipe kids who also think they know it all, his failure to prevent or lead this country out of the pandemic (remember he knew in December 2019, kept calling it a hoax all the way up to his own infection), his endorsement of "hate" groups, his golfing, his use of the "stop the steal" movement to collect more money, and his incitement of violence on January 6th. There are MANY MORE but you get the picture. On his tax cuts, if you own a home in California or NY you are limited to $10,000 in what you can write off your income via state, local, and property taxes. In most cases, this is about 1/3 of what you pay so the deduction covers only 33%. In most cases, this is the difference between paying and getting a refund/breaking even. Oh and that little more you saw in your paycheck, well that's because Trump had them stop taking out the 6.7% for social security. But hey, the rich saw a reduction in their taxes from 28% to 21% while middle-class Americans went from 25-28% to ~31-34%. On compromise, Joe has at least said he's willing to work with Republicans. DT never wanted to work with Democrats. So at least there's some hope provided Mitch, etc. are willing. But alas, since they weren't willing to convict Trump of a crime he clearly committed, their allegiance is still to the party and not Americans. And don't even start on the "cost" of the covid bill. When Trump was president everyone said no problem. Now you're all concerned with cost now? I will say that Trump did show us all the other bullshit in the bill (which was crafted by Republicans). To me THAT'S what we as Americans should be asking about. Because I don't think now is the time to be sending money to Pakistan for "gender studies" and why that costs $1.2 billion is beyond me. Finally, 74 million people aren't "following" Trump. That number covers a lot of people who vote along party lines. I am willing to bet that most of those people don't like Trump but voted for him because he's Republican. Oh and even if it is 74million, that's only 23% of the country. So yea, you are a minority. Maybe you need your own month? Republican History Month! re:Why does Joe Biden’s success upset Trunp supporters? (san jose west) We want his polices to fail because they don't represent us in the minority needs. A President should represent ALL Americans not only those that elect him. As long as he makes no compromise to any of our needs we oppose him. Now you have your answer. ------------ Your first choice for president may have been Trump, and that fine. But Trump did not get re- elected. So now that Biden is president why are so many of you wanting him to fail? A president should represent the majority of the country. Biden is doing that. The majority of this country agrees with his economic stimulus package. The majority of this country is pleased with his covid response. Why do you people want our leader to fail? Shouldn’t we be happy about his successes despite the fact that he may not have been your first choice? Trump never represented the majority of this nation. He never had more than fifty percent support for any of his actions. That is not how our country works. A president should represent the majority at all times
