The other unknowable question is: Would Harris have bombed Iran?

There wouldn't be rampant government corruption with a different leadership. It's your two party system at its best. The one part brings stupidity, guns and chaos to the party and the other part cleans up afterwards. You really should purge the corrupt politicians before doing anything else.

Whoa there. Both parties are rampantly corrupt. However, one is a million times more rampantly corrupt than the other. And one values stability and peace and quiet (while siphoning off money) while the other values flinging shit at the wall to see what sticks.

Unchecked illegal immigration leading to wage/housing cost pressure, unmitigated spending driving inflation (which Trump has continued) via unnecessary stimulus, high oil prices causing everything to cost more not just the price at the pump.

Yes, Biden didn't artificially make number go up. But he definitely didn't mess up the economy. In a global look at the economy the US fared better than most other countries in what was a global downturn after the post-COVID free-money boom tailed off. But yeah, Trump has shown in the past over and over that he is definitely the person to make sure things are done financially responsibly. From his dozens of bankruptc…

Dude, I did not know Trump past that much. The belief was that this guy is a businessman he will take the necessary steps to make things better. but later I Came to know fuck this all happend
