    "TDS" is just a way of shutting down any criticism of Trump. It lost all meaning it once had.

    The economy opens up at least partially and COVID 19 cases rise dramatically. Trump is blamed for this.
    Because the economy is shut down over COVID 19, many people face eviction. Trump is blamed for that.

    The list of blaming Trump for everything gets grating. It is clearly an exercise in hating the guy and TDS.

    I'll ignore the idiocy of the above.
    Excellent observations!

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    It's quite simple. What ever Trump does he gets blamed and panned for it. Sure, there are things Trump could do better, even much better. My point isn't that. It's this:

    Trump does A. His detractors say he didn't do A soon enough, or that he also didn't do B. Trump does C. His detractors say C is meaningless until it looks like it is actually working so they change their cries to "He didn't act fast enough!" or "It still isn't enough!" or "He did it 'wrong' "

    I'm pointing out that at this point, it's obvious that the MSM, Democrats, and Trump's detractors cannot and will not give him credit for doing anything, no matter how minor right. That says to me that they are in full blown TDS mode.

    I notice it when I do give Trump credit for something done right as well as the reaction when I say negative things about him from the same group.

    What...in...the...actual...FUCK just happened there!!! Do I really have to explain...wait, forgot who I'm talking to. Okay, I see you are getting confused by multiple concepts here. Forget I mentioned obama, the wuflu and I didn't say a damn thing about race riots anyway. Let's assume Trump crashed his own great economy because...I don't know... aliens? Now you have one concept to deal with: HOW WILL BIDEN "FIX" IT? JUST THE ECONOMY, NOTHING ELSE!

    One thing you are correct on: Obama did not have to deal with a major pandemic, race riots and a completely crashed economy at the same time. Even so, his "recovery" didn't start to show life until people started to look into what Trump was saying.

    And a little update!: Just watched der bidenfuhrer unveil part 2 of his economic plan. Basically a combination of green new deal and obamanomics part II(with a big sloppy blowjob for the unions thrown in). So there, I pretty much did your research for you. The comparisons will be pretty stark for anyone with half a brain. You might be out of luck there, katgutz.

    See! This is what I'm talking about. The TDS crowd cannot bring themselves to give even a scintilla of credit to Trump or anyone who says anything that isn't completely negative about Trump at any time. It gives them a air of being not credible because of the clear bias they express over time.

    Biden won't fix the economy, he and the Democrats will f*** it like a $3 bag whore. More regulation of everything. The war on cheap energy will resume. Government spending on social-welfare programs will skyrocket because of economic illiterates like this hag:



    Welfare and unemployment checks grow the economy and create jobs... Pelosi is full on retard and beyond.

    So, voting Democrat guarantees the economy gets screwed and stays screwed.

    Thanks Trump.
    Well I guess we have our answer of whether or not he should be president.

    What ever made him think he could run a country?

    He has screwed up almost every other thing he tried to do.

    The only thing he was any good at was unreality show entertainer, pretending to be a businessman.

    I give him credit for making the pandemic worse. I give him credit for crashing the economy and I give him credit for the race riots...that should be enough for now.

    This requires proof of a negative. You can claim his response was poor but you can't prove he made things worse. I think on the whole his response was average. It was certainly better early on than the Democrats who were still transfixed with their ill-fated attempt to impeach him and paying NO attention to anything else.

    I give him credit for crashing the economy
    Until COVID 19 hit the economy was doing quite well with Trump's policies. It definitely perked right back up when governors opened things up again, but the whole COVID 19 thing is causing a hit on it that Trump really has little control over. So, I'd rate your position as a case of TDS.

    and I give him credit for the race riots...that should be enough for now.
    And the ones from Obama's administration like Ferguson? But not to deflect, those aren't Trump's doing either. I see them as the Left's reaction to nothing else they've tried to remove Trump from office as being successful, and their general frustration at the public not listening or giving their political positions a hoot in Hell because nobody outside of the Left wants their BS implemented.

    asg is causing the needless death of many so yes he made it worse. Quit slapping yourself on the head and you might have less brain damage
