MSN article claims America was better off under Trump than Biden

[BobRyan]

I don't know. But the specific article you linked to is from a right wing source.
I am clarifying that msn is not MSNBC. They are different companies. Just because msn publishes an article, it doesn't mean a left wing person will agree with it

I am not insisting that they do agree - I am simply asking for democrats that agree with that to let us know.

That's usually the result you end up with when you set the bar very low.

Trump literally canceled the bar. Biden is at the very least trying to protect ALL Americans, not simply placating a base. Some duties of the president are more important than winning the next election!

M
My bar was set very low for Biden. In some areas, he’s done better than I expected

That is a good strategy - if one sets the bar of expectation "low enough" whatever happens would be an improvement or at least "the same as expected". It is a good way to avoid disappointment.

Trump literally canceled the bar.

I didn't vote for him - and he did wayyyyy better than I thought he would do.

 

[Brihaha]

I reckon so. We'll only be cleaning up his debacle for a decade or so. As opposed to losing our democracy, that is better.

Biden maybe has not done as good as I would have hoped but I can’t say that we’re worse off under him than we ever were under Trump. Not even close. This situation is not good right now but the fact we at all we’re able to stop him from being re-elected gives me a glimmer of hope.

Even before covid hit we weren’t in a good place socially with a president who was clearly more interested in himself than he was in bringing the country together. It is in fact because of this division that we’ve failed so miserably on the world stage in regards to this pandemic. The divisions themselves were certainly there before Trump but his deliberate use of these existing political divisions to his own advantage and to cast more than half the country as others is what’s driven us to this point where I just don’t see the two sides ever coming back together. It’s because of this that no matter what any president does, a very large number of people will instinctively see it as something bad.

It's not to far away...it's called deficit spending, it's going to destroy the country. The other issue is the coming war with China...within 10 years.

If anything is a long way off (25 years or so) it's civil war, the drive for critical race theory, "whites are genetically predisposed to be racist", rewriting history, and insane demands for reparations will push the nation to unprecedented levels of violence.

Un-Checked deficit spending, followed by war with China, followed by Civil War...will Finnish us.

Egads! We are going to change languages as well! Oh noes!

Did msn have a 50/50 record right-vs-left reporting in 20/20??

Only if you look at it through the scope of a 30/30.

What exactly has gotten better with Biden as president?

Ole hyvä, älä suomalainen! Se on liian vaikeaa! Mitä seuraavaksi? Onko meidän kaikkien vaihdettava takaisin Nokian matkapuhelimiin?

 

[Oompa Loompa]

Just out of curiosity, can anyone actually point to one thing that has actually gotten better since Biden became president?

Peoples ability to stay on topic in threads.

Superficially, I don't know a darn thing about Biden's opinion on SNL or any other TV show, because he's not up at 2 a.m. (or any time) tweeting about how they're being mean to him.

Substantially, we actually have a president who is taking ending this pandemic seriously, rather than floating dangerous alternative 'treatments' like ingesting cleaning products to treat it.

I'm sure others can come up with more examples, but those are two right off the top of my head.

He brought America back to a level of respect that is already lost under biden. Goodbye to energy independence, but hello to more than a dollar increase in gas prices, inflation at record highs, a national debt growing faster than ever, and a push toward a digital dollar that will greatly diminish our savings.
All these things will affect every single American, regardless of party. Therefore, biden is not helping anyone on either side, although his handlers seem satisfied that he's following their orders.

We at the very least no longer have a self-obsessed gaslighter pushing harder into the nation’s deep, political wounds and sowing distrust in the validity of our democracy. Those are two huge improvements even if they don’t necessarily grow anyone’s wallets.

Um, are you sure about that???

I can go two or three days without wondering what cockamamie thing that the President of the United States of America did/said today.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

Yes, I’m certain.

He brought America back

...to the 50s?
