I’m losing confidence in Trump’s leadership. I not talking about Trump making a few mistakes or missing opportunities, rather I question whether Trump can reliably make sound decisions and if his reelection will be a net benefit for us. I have tolerated the “Challenging” aspects of Trump’s personality on ideas his heart was in the right place concerning traditional American values. I place great weight on those values, but Trump is crossing the threshold where I now feel deep concern over the next four years of his continued leadership. Trump seems to have lost the ability to act in his own self interest as shown by his debate performance, recent Corona virus handling, and careless flip flopping on significant policy from a political, social, and economic standpoint. A man who is accused of being self-centered can’t even act in his own best interest now? Biden may be corrupt and Kamala may be a little Left of Left, but their advantage over Trump at this point is they seem rational and are able to keep things together. As a bonus, I perceive Kamala brings an energy that will put the US on a positive direction on relationships, whether foreign or domestic. Biden too, for that matter. Bye bye, Mr. Trump, we appreciated the positive things you’ve done for us, but we are going to go in a different direction now. You’re Fired.
If you feel that way, imagine being a minority or a woman that has been consistently disrespected by Trump and his ideas and policies for 4 years.
How about the people most at risk with Coronvirus, such as the elderly? How about others who have lost someone to this disease and Trump being careless? How about Independents, or anyone else for that matter, looking for leadership? I will be generaly supportive in my postings of Biden and Harris until at least six months after they are elected. Any comments after six months will be based on their performance.
Can't help either but I expect the female vote on election night will be highlighted as the biggest change since 2016. I expect some improvement but I am not sure if some/most Americans will understand what they are. Yesterday, it was reported that the US had it's largest trade deficit in history. An obvious question is after 3+ years of Trump creating disruptive trade wars is why is the trade deficit higher ( he said he'd smash it down ). Now, I'm in the camp that a large trade deficit isn't a bad thing ( trade helps both parties ), but it's clear what he promised didn't happen.
Trade deficits are not the worst thing when you have a reserve currency. We get goods and services for long term promises plus a little interest. Increasing US trade deficits are a sign of economic growth, although I am not sure what the lastest numbers really represents. Trump missed a major opportunity to bolster his platform in multiple ways during the global pandemic. Why, I don’t know. Maybe he wasn’t paying attention. Whatever, it is water under the bridge now. Let’s see how far Joe and Kamala will surpass Trump’s leadership.
