I bet he was holding that note right in front of his face when he told a military widow that her late husband knew the risks.

I guarantee the war would have never started or would have ended under Trump. Bidden for some stupid reason is doing everything in his powers to keep it going and doing nothing to find a solution or compromise between the 2 countries. Again, Bidden is not calling the shots. He has one foot out the door, he will powerless in 4-6 months or sooner. If liberal media is turning on him his days are numbered, thank god. He is destroying this country. Somebody needs to step in before it is too late.

Is Trump the best ever diplomat? Nope.
Is Trump better diplomat than Buyden? Definitely.
Stay on point please.

Lastly, he gets in a fight with oil companies, this is the last thing he should be doing. Find a compromise and a solution, but Democrats want to fight with everyone and blame everyone for their problems.
If you subtract Trump from the polls, I would bet Bidden approval is in the teens now, not the 30's.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With the U.S. Supreme Court expected to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision before the end of its 2021-2022 term, Americans' confidence in the court has dropped sharply over the past year and reached a new low in Gallup's nearly 50-year trend.

No, the one below was a perfectly reasonable cue card telling a so-called potus how to look and sound somewhat like a normal human being listening to testimonials about the mass murder of children:
Trump was actually caught holding a note from staffers reminding him to be empathetic when talking to people

I found it interesting that Elvis claimed that President Clinton repealled the Glass-Steagall Act. I wonder if they teach Civics where Elvis comes from? Presidents don't pass or repeal laws. When a bill is passed by the Congress the President signs it into law or vetos the bill. In the relevant case, Representatives Leach and Bliley along with Senator Gramm (all Republicans) sponsored the bill which passed both houses of Congress and was signed into law by then President Clinton.
Of course, as you pointed out the Glass Steagall Act even if it had not been largely repealled would have done nothing to prevent the Great Recession of 2008.

Of course, compared to Nixon (28 people indicted who were "close to" Nixon) and Reagan (33 people indicted), the Mango Mussolini was an angel.
But compared to Clinton (2 people indicted), Obama (0 people indicted) and Carter (0 people indicted), not so much. https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...trump-reagan-/.
But sure, keep up the falsehoods. You guys crack me up!

That's before he ditched interpreters altogether.
Trump, Putin talked at G20 without US translator, note-taker: report

A year before the law was passed, Citicorp, a commercial bank holding company, merged with the insurance company Travelers Group in 1998 to form the conglomerate Citigroup, a corporation combining banking, securities and insurance services under a house of brands that included Citibank, Smith Barney, Primerica, and Travelers. Because this merger was a violation of the GlassSteagall Act and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, the Federal Reserve gave Citigroup a temporary waiver in September 1998.
Robert Rubin received more than $126 million in cash and stock during his tenure at Citigroup, up through and including Citigroup's bailout by the USA Treasury, but according to you Eih, that was just a happy coincidence.
During debate in the House of Representatives, Rep. John Dingell (Democrat of Michigan) argued that the bill would result in banks becoming "too big to fail. " Dingell further argued that this would necessarily result in a bailout by the Federal Government.
Well, at least he got the first part right.

Yep, Trump was a stable diplomatic genius.
And don't even get us started on his domestic policy brilliance in making it look like it was his idea and not Putin's to inspire, organize, encite and lead a violent Insurrection against America in order to install a unelected authoritarian dictator, him.
Damn clever how he took over the agenda of our sworn enemies, made it look like it was his idea instead of theirs and did all their dirty work for them.
Now, why didn't Obama think of that? LOL. And Biden is just too confused to figure out how to do that, right? Silly Dems.
