It's not Trump who lost......
So, lets see who did....
1. under Trump, lowest unemployment levels in years.... Well that goes away now....
1a. Minority unemployment, lowest in decades if not ever.... Gee, I wonder how Biden and Obama couldn't do that??
Oil industry..... Yeah, Biden has point blank said he will shut them down!
Hmm wonder what that will do for the price of goods and services??
Middle East Peace....well we know where that was going....(Key word "WAS").
Point is, it's not Trump who lost.......

Exactly right, it is not Trump who lost it is the American people who lost and they lost more than what is apparent now. The media lost ALL respect big tech lost all respect. And the list is long.

Make no mistake...Trump is the biggest loser in this scenario. He mocked not long ago that losing to the "worst presidential candidate in history" would be so humiliating for him that he might have to 'leave the country'. He now has to admit defeat and accept his role as the only U.S. president in almost 30 years to be ousted after one term in office. That's a tall order for a megalomaniac like him. Good riddance...I say.

He's done more GOOD for the people of this country in one term than any other president has ever done in two.

Hilarious considering everyone talked about his likability yet now, you want to talk about what he has accomplished. Flip flop more than a seesaw.
His accomplishments are not in question.....Problem is, no one really wanted to talk about his accomplishments.
Speaking of accomplishments, what has BIDEN done in 48 years to get himself elected?? So you see, its NOT about accomplishments, if it were BIDEN would of lost easily....Yes????

Hey MaggieRose,
He is not done yet, the Barack Hussein Obama administration broke the law to cripple a President Elect. Two can play those games, President Donald J. Trump can do much much worse without breaking the law. Getting things done is what he does, allot can happen between now and the election safe harbor date.

Yes, but what is it that even YOU know of his accomplishments? You're certainly not getting that information, if you're only tuned in to the MSM. IMO, there are only two people on Fox News who have regularly touted his accomplishments: Sean Hannity (especially) and Mark Levin.
I'm not sure how much you to bother to inform yourself about current events. I say that because I've noticed that even here, on PA, you miss things that may have been helpful in understanding what you question or think; the latest being that you find it ironic that Fox News called Arizona prematurely. If you had been reading, I think you would have understood why (whether you agreed with it or not is immaterial) without me feeling compelled to re-post a potentially good reason why.

I care very much about current events...but I can't trust that any media source out there is properly informing me about them. So...I am forced to figure things out on my own. The media venues tell me that "the economy is thriving under Trump"...but I notice, to my chagrin, that all the economic indicators that they use are based on "consumer spending", instead of citizens SAVING. How can I fully embrace that the economy is "thriving", when consumer debt is at its highest point...and there are payday loan stores on every block? Who borrows thousands of dollars from a credit card at 20%+ interest, if he has savings of his own? And...how can the economy be "thriving"...when the majority of the citizens have nothing saved for a rainy day, other than their credit cards?
IMO...it isn't enough for us to cite the employment statistics as proof of a "thriving economy". Nor should we only track how much the consumers spend. We should also notice what sort of financial shape the workers are in. And if they are on stable financial ground...THAT'S when we know that the economy is "thriving". Because the workers are part of the "economy" too.

Too many people insist on living way beyond their means. When was the last time you bought an $800.00 iPhone, a $200.00 pair of sneakers, or $5,000 large-screen TV? I see the problem as most people, young people, especially, not wanting to save. It's an ingrained mentality; some people are spendthrifts and others are misers; some people are slobs and others are neat-freaks. Fewer are in the middle.
The economy is thriving based on how people spend, not on how they save. For the majority, we all make our own beds.

Damn right! The fools are everywhere.
My part time weekend grill cook showed up driving a new Mercedes
A few weeks ago. A lease deal of rotten proportions, but he got into it with his “stimulus check” I give it 6 months and he will be hiding it from the repo man. Btw, the Education department ordered me to stop his student loan garnishment of $9 a pay day due to Covid 19. It’s part of the cares act

Here is the home ownership rate for the last 25 years.
Home ownership steadily fell under President Obama then rose under President Trump. My nephew sells new homes. He's had nine contracts canceled since the election.
