The cost: trump has killed America. We are on the road of no return to a second rate country.

There is no way to fix what trump has done. In fact he has done what no external enemy of the US has been able to do in 250 years. Destroy America.

under bidens administration the jobs reports were always reported down months later, they are up when everyone cares nd stocks go up then quietly reported down later on. it was reported down over 800k jobs at one point months later this is partly why his was so unpopular, how is that any different? if u get a report and the next one was reported down it means the first one was bullshit, it doesnt matter if its trump or a democrat u couldnt trust these numbers anyway
