    Actually median income hit a record during Trump's term and he lowered taxes for about 90% of those that actual pay taxes, and stock market ended higher than we he was elected. Oh, inflated stayed low for his term.

    No. The sunsets are utilized to “comply” with budgetary rules. Most if not all of “tax cuts” for decades have been passed this way. It’s irresponsible but the only way the R-party can achieve their top-down goals. It truly is the Party of Big Business—that hasn’t changed.

    What do you think he could've done better ...and how?

    He campaigned (rightfully) on criticizing the overcomplicated tax code exempting the elite from paying their fare share ...but POTUS doesnt actually have any power over the tax code. Only congress can change that, and not only is congress far too lazy and corrupt to prevent their campaign contributors from exempting themselves from taxation by inserting loopholes into the 10,000+ page omnibus bills that congress doesnt read, but also congress was none too interested in Trump's reforms anyway.

    Of course, many of them have multiple jobs from that statistic just to make ends meet. Go figure ...

    Trump did not have complete control over the country.

    During his last 2 years, Democrats in Congress blocked him. They didn't want him to be able to point to any success. Even before then, a small faction of Republicans sided with Democrats to stop the changes Trump wanted. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan thwarted Trump from behind the scenes.

    Trump's proposed policies had to do with modifying international trade rules, and reducing immigration.

    But Black businesses did do very well under Trump, and that is a big economic indicator.
    Over last 3 years Black businesses grew hugely, then were devastated

    You can ask yourself what the Democrat's policy of mass immigration is going to do to the inequality level.

    Just think about the housing market, for starters. How young families can't find any place affordable, how there are housing shortages in so many areas of the country.

    The Biden Administration made it necessary.

    Bringing NATO forces including missiles, and NATO was clear that was part of the plan,
    and the missiles could be as close as 340 miles from Moscow,

    forced Russia into a response in the same way as the USSR placing missiles in Cuba did.

    And you have a source for that?
    You know, one that compares the number of jobs each minority or woman holds on average, compared to the rest?
    Cause just now multiple jobs is a feature of the biden administration, not so much the trump administration

    I got a nice tax cut, which is something Demokrats would never give working middle class Americans like me.

    Your Marxist heroes had 70 years to ameliorate the economic inequality that loomed over their countries during the 20th Century and how did that work out?

    They impoverished everyone they didn't murder or starve to death, which might be considered a success by you and all the other "progressives" who seek economic equality.

    Then again, the party leaders got quite wealthy, so everyone got to lose their freedom and property for the new "revolutionary" upper class.

    Communism/Socialism for thee, but not for me!
