A prime example is this "existential threat" crap, the leftist mantra and language that these leftist fools repeat on a minute by minute basis.

When one uses the terminology that is sent out to Democrats in emails daily telling them to make sure they employ the terminology as much as possible, and guys like you regurgitate the BS verbatim, call me skeptical of your claims to be contrary to a lefty Democrat.  

Please define what Trump has done or the policies he's implemented that would characterize him as an "existential threat"?

Be specific.

I'll just do you the favor of listing a quick summation of the positive actions he's taken and what he's accomplished for Conservatism since he's been in office.  

You take each one and pinpoint the existential threat to our nation because of said policies/actions:

1.  Appointed 3 Originalist Justices to the US Supreme Court.

2.  Appointed well over 200 Conservative Judges to lower courts in this nation.

3.  Removed 1000s of regulations put in place by previous administrations that were strangling businesses in this country.

4.  Put in place tax RATE cuts that applied to every level of the IRS system.  Each level of IRS tax rates went DOWN.  This is a fact.

5.  Removed the hideous Obamacare Mandate tax that cost individual taxpaying working citizens $695 per year to opt out of not taking advantage of the privilege of paying the gov't, in order to not be forced to have to subscribe and pay for the USELESS Obamacare plan.  85% of those individuals and families paying the burdensome mandate of $695 per year, made less than $50K per year.  That was a HUGE relief for all those people.  

6.  Got tough with our enemies in many different ways, including China for example. 

7.  Removed us from the horrible Iran Nuclear Deal that simply gave them the ability to create a Nuclear Weapon, which was according to Obama and his leftist administration, the great plan to simply delay the Evil nation from acquiring a Nuclear weapon, until Obama was out of office, then they had free reign to do whatever they wished, according to the agreement.  What it did was kick the can down the road, because Obama never wanted to take on evil head on, so make a deal where he hands over $150 BILLION US Taxpayer dollars to the nation that the USA has listed as the #1 terrorist nation in world.  

8.  Made our friends in NATO start paying their "fair share", (as the left loves to coin that phrase against American citizens, but is all too willing to let our friends abroad skirt their monetary obligations to pay what they promised). What Trump did was tell our NATO allies to start ponying up the money they OWED to the Organization, rather than burdening US taxpayers with the costs.  Obama never made them pay up did he?

9.  Brought our economy to the best it has been in decades.  The unemployment rate for blacks, before Covid hit was the lowest recorded in the United States in history, since records have been kept.  The unemployment rate for hispanics, before Covid hit was the Lowest recorded in US history, since records were being kept.  The unemployment rate for Asians, before Covid hit, was the lowest in recorded US history.  The unemployment rate for women, before covid hit was the lowest recorded in the USA in 65 years.

10.  The worker participation rate in the USA before covid hit, was the greatest number since 1969.

11.  Was able to get so many people working that the burden of food stamp recipients being supported by taxpayers dropped by 4 Million families since Trump became President. It may have gone up again this year since Covid hit, but from 2016 to 2019, the number of people on food stamps has dropped significantly, lowering the burden on taxpayers.  

12.  Became energy independent since Trump was elected.  Opened up energy pipelines in this country that Obama and his administration kept closed.  

13.  Created Opportunity zones in low income areas of the country, and helped blacks and other minorities groups to secure business loans.

14.  Lowered the tax rate on Corporations which allowed Corporations all over the nation to give back to employees, which they did by the hundreds of corporations, and these business gave bonuses out to their employees and allowed them to give raises which the lying Democrats said did not occur, however businesses verified they did just that.  Workers also verified this fact.

Here is just a PARTIAL List of companies that gave back to their employees directly because of the tax rate reduction on businesses down to 21% from 35%:  https://www.fool.com/slideshow/these-companies-gave-bonuses-or-raises-after-tax-reform/?slide=4


15.  Gave a one time tax rate break rate to offshore businesses which offered them the opportunity to bring their manufacturing back to the United States.  They did.

So then go ahead and tell me what points above that you disagree with that Trump enacted or caused to occur.  

Then you tell me what the "existential threat" is, which you claim Trump poses to the nation or the world.

I did as well, and like you, I didn't care for it one bit, however I look at it this way.  

The guy is probably mentally exhausted from fighting a leftist news Tsunami of frauds, liars, and corrupt actors.

He wasn't battling possible next President Kamala Harris and the Democrat party, he was battling the NY TIMES, LA TIMES, WaPo, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, and dozens of other news rags, who covered up any story that could possibly be negative to the Democrat party and the Democratic Presidential candidate.

Add in to those corrupt actors Twitter, Facebook, and Google.

I told my friends over the last week, that given a choice between taking the Presidency and losing the Senate, or Losing the Presidency but Keeping the Senate, I would choose the latter.  

Thankfully, we have a GREAT new Senator it appears in John James in Michigan, and we got rid of a Democrat fool down in Alabama named Doug Jones.

I was SO glad to hear that Tommy Tuberville won.

90% + shouldn't be back again, and should be relegated to working at car washes around the nation, but I'm pretty sure that NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC would hire them in a heartbeat.  

Gee, who knew huh?
