How is that relevant to Trumps ratings being really low despite all the stuff he is getting accomplished?
I think it shows that he often takes credit for things that haven't actually happened and maybe he hasn't accomplished all the stuff that people believe he accomplished. For example, a phone call was intercepted between two Iranian generals who were talking about how the damage was much less than they expected. And the word expected itself is interesting, because if they expected an attack, we know for sure that the uranium was moved. It sounds like Trump's talk of obliteration was Much Ado About Nothing doesn't it?
I think that he has accomplished some things. He has spread chaos around the world. He has sold mistrust within the European Union and Canada. With his deal-making he has virtually stolen over a trillion dollars in rare earth minerals from Ukraine, the prophets of which Ukraine will need to rebuild when it defeats Russia. He has sued honest law firms who have filed suits against his illegal executive orders. He has banned the Associated Press from conferences. So yes he has accomplished many negative things.

The 92% are people who are working, raising families, leading productive lives. You might not think that working in a chicken plant is leading a productive life, but two months from now when no one is picking our crops or processing meat or working on construction Crews and we are suffering food shortages and rapid inflation you will wonder why Trump was so quick to deport the 92% who just wanted to contribute to our society and lead a better life.
Can we revisit this in 2 months? Let's see if all your doom and gloomy prognostications have come true.

I don't get my prognostications from mediums or tarot card readers.
When the "doom and gloomy prognostications" come from think tanks across the country, they have actual facts behind them.

How is it relevant, that was the question?
It is relevant because, according to polling, FAR more people have unfavorable opinions about the Democratic Party than they do this successful presidency of President Donald Trump.

I'm sure that you, as a proponent of voluntary simplicity, are horrified at the wasteful use of fossil fuels when we can change to clean energy sources that will not only save families money but also save our air and protect people from the enormous climactic disasters that increase with every year. The big ugly bill will hurt our move towards clean energy in order to satisfy the campaign donors from Big Oil.
According to what I looked up, clean energy has a $1.8 trillion annual revenue. Whereas big oil has a $1.3 trillion revenue. So apparently either clean energy backed the wrong candidate during the campaign, or they didn't donate enough, or both.

Yes, yes those think tanks love doom and gloom. Let's revisit in 2 months as you claim.

'Trump Effect' website takes credit for US investment made under Biden


"...a Reuters review found that just under half of the claimed spending on the website - totaling more than $1.3 trillion - originated under former President Joe Biden or represented routine spending repackaged to promote domestic investments."
19 major accomplishments in three weeks - and that is the best you have?

Isn't that Obama's tired line? - You didn't do that.

Look at your own link - even if correct - that means in three weeks Trump matched what it took Biden four years.

Here we are at the one month mark and zero changes have happened as predicted. Let’s check back in a month
