I disagree with your assessment of Trump BUT nonetheless purposefully or by accident he was much better for this country than the current administration. I personally have to go with what is better for our country and ignore Trumps massive character flaws. Not in my book, not everything did sucked, but he sucked and he supports dictators and thugs, is a serial liar, has psychiatric problems and 93% of everything he did and suggested was bad for American citizens or unconstitutional.

If things don't change pretty quick, you boys better brush up on your Mandarin.................... and China is tending a massive campaign to elect trump.
China’s Advancing Efforts to Influence the U.S. Election Raise Alarms
China has adopted some of the same misinformation tactics that Russia used ahead of the 2016 election, researchers and government officials say.

Covert Chinese accounts are masquerading online as American supporters of former President Donald J. Trump, promoting conspiracy theories, stoking domestic divisions and attacking President Biden ahead of the election in November, according to researchers and government officials.
The accounts signal a potential tactical shift in how Beijing aims to influence American politics, with more of a willingness to target specific candidates and parties, including Mr. Biden.
In an echo of Russia’s influence campaign before the 2016 election, China appears to be trying to harness partisan divisions to undermine the Biden administration’s policies, despite recent efforts by the two countries to lower the temperature in their relations.
Some of the Chinese accounts impersonate fervent Trump fans, including one on X that purported to be “a father, husband and son” who was “MAGA all the way!!” The accounts mocked Mr. Biden’s age and shared fake images of him in a prison jumpsuit, or claimed that Mr. Biden was a Satanist pedophile while promoting Mr. Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.
“I’ve never seen anything along those lines at all before,” said Elise Thomas, a senior analyst at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a nonprofit research organization that uncovered a small group of the fake accounts posing as Trump supporters.
Ms. Thomas and other researchers have linked the new activity to a long-running network of accounts connected with the Chinese government known as Spamouflage. Several of the accounts they detailed previously posted pro-Beijing content in Mandarin — only to resurface in recent months under the guise of real Americans writing in English.
In a separate project, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a research organization in Washington, identified 170 inauthentic pages and accounts on Facebook that have also pushed anti-American messages, including pointed attacks on Mr. Biden.
The effort has more successfully attracted actual users’ attention and become more difficult for researchers to identify than previous Chinese efforts to influence public opinion in the United States. Though researchers say the overall political tilt of the campaign remains unclear, it has raised the possibility that China’s government is calculating that a second Trump presidency, despite his sometimes hostile statements against the country, might be preferable to a second Biden term.
China’s activity has already raised alarms inside the American government.
In February, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence reported that China was expanding its influence campaigns to “sow doubts about U.S. leadership, undermine democracy and extend Beijing’s influence.” The report expressed concern that Beijing could use increasingly sophisticated methods to try to influence the American election “to sideline critics of China.”

It was Biden's America that rolled back the bail requirements. That turned the big and small cities into festering shitholes of crime. The example in the OP is simply a very graphic example. Not sure if this has been mentioned, I accidently clicked the first page and, being it was Laupnor, made me check the accuracy of his statement. It was Trump's America at the time New York changed it's bail law. The law was changed in 2019 and implemented in January of 2020. Trump was President then. Since Biden was elected, New York has rolled back parts of the law to allow bail in more cases. In 2019, New York ended the use of money bail and jail for most cases involving misdemeanors and lower-level felonies. The law, which was implemented in January 2020, sought to make release rather than detention the default in these cases. However, this goal has been undermined in the subsequent legislative sessions. After politicized concerns about rising crime during the Covid-19 pandemic drove lawmakers to pass three rounds of revisions to the law, it now includes several exceptions allowing judges to set bail in some cases involving lower-level offenses. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/facts-bail-reform-new-york-how-pretrial-detention-and-release-works-now#:~:text=In%202019%2C%20New%20York%20ended,the%20default%20in%20these%20cases.

Sometimes two people can say the exact same thing with two completely different meanings.
It’s easy for most people to spin something to direct the narrative in a way that fits their preferred outcome. It’s what you don’t like about Fox News.
Interestingly, it’s also what you like about CNN and ABC, etc.

Another massive jobs report: The US economy added 303,000 jobs in March — way above expectations. That’s more than #15MillionBidenJobs total. Unemployment ticked down the 3.8%. Wage growth is up 4.1% in past year, above inflation.

I disagree with your assessment of Trump BUT nonetheless purposefully or by accident he was much better for this country than the current administration. I personally have to go with what is better for our country and ignore Trumps massive character flaws. Not in my book, not everything did sucked, but he sucked and he supports dictators and thugs, is a serial liar, has psychiatric problems and 93% of everything he did and suggested was bad for American citizens or unconstitutional. Where and when did he support dictators and thugs? Probably half the countries on the planet are ruled by such governments. Do you mean that we should go to war with all of them because of who runs them? I find it fascinating that so many people today can’t wait to get into wars and conflicts. The main reason you hate Trump and others like him is because he kept out of such nonsense. And for good reasons. I’m sure deep down you know what those reasons are, you are experiencing them every day. 😉
