    don’t worry, i can’t name a single trump accomplishment either. unless you count making the obscenely wealthy even more obscenely wealthy, which was really the only thing he set out to do

      Overturn RvW. He campaigned on this promise and he got it.

      I’m not saying it as a gotcha but there are very much things he promised and he delivered on, many of which were done via very illegal and unconstitutional executive orders.

      Other “accomplishments”:

      (Quick side note: I’m only counting policy based accomplishments. Things like hating on gays or hurting immigrants, while technically promises, I’m going to categorize as “legalized oppression”.)

      • deregulation of the Internet (Fuck Ajit Pai)
      • “building” the “wall” and having Mexico “pay” for it, done primarily via tariffs that ended up hurting Americans more but his base didn’t care (this one is a stretch but I’m counting it)
      • simplified parts of the tax code that gave everyone a tax cut (ignoring the part that for lower and middle class this cut was often a few dollars while for the Uber rich it was thousands)

      There are more but I need to get back to my date. 😅

          Trump and his supporters are definitely weird sociopaths.

          I’m dumbfounded as to how this election is so close. There is something fundamentally wrong with the democrat party that they are losing to him.

          I wish dems would listen to their base instead of their donors. I hope Kamala wins but it’s not looking good.
