Giving credit

All the polls indicate that a solid majority of Trump supporters believe that their hero should be given credit for almost everything he did while president. I decided to list some of those things Trump did that I know most of his supporters would want him to get credit for.

1. Trump should be given credit for the death of over 500,000 Americans due to the pandemic, which he called a hoax, a fraud, and was the same thing as the common flu. 2. Trump should be given credit for inciting the insurrection of January 6, by ideologically motivated violent extremists, and no, they were not patriots.

3. Trump should be given credit for saying to this day that the presidential election was stolen from him, despite the fact there is no evidence supporting him. More than 60 lawsuits were thrown out because they had no merit and no facts.

4. Trump should be given credit for making more than 30,000 false or misleading statements during his four years as president. I think he made the Guinness Book of World Records hands down.

5. Trump should be given credit for running in two presidential elections and losing the popular vote, in large numbers, in both of them. e also never came close to getting 50% of the vote in either election. Just think, if he runs again in 2024, he could lose the popular vote three times.

6. Trump should be given credit for significantly increasing the gap between the haves and the have-nots. In 2017 he signed a huge tax cut that gave 80% of the benefits to the millionaires and corporations. The poor and middle class got screwed again.
