My comment about Trump was on relation to his age if he chooses to run again. He will be 77 and a person's mind can fail quickly at that age.
As to the good he did, his Supreme Court appointments are his biggest accomplishments IMO. They can't be undone.
Many other of the things he did have been undone by the present administration, so they did not last.
DO you think his argumentative devisive tone helped build consensus among a broad swath of the population so that what he started could continue. Doesn't seem to have worked. Start building something and not have enough capital to finish makes one a fool.
As to sinking in about Biden, I am no fan and he has no business being POTUS, but I blame that on Trump. If Trump would not of been such an ass and loudmouth, egotistical and self centered, he would have won reelection and this conversation would be moot. Not to mention the 2 important run off elections in your state that were lost because he couldn't shut up. The balance in Congress hinged on those elections and look where we are.
I am not a fan of Biden or Trump, I don't have to be one or the other.
Now the name you are waiting for, Ronald Reagan. Best POTUS during my lifetime. Graduated college in 79, no jobs, real high interest rates, hostages in Iran. Reagan gets elected and things change steadily. When Reagan spoke, he inspired confidence, worked to get consensus without causing either side to hate the other. Economy got back on track, people got back to work.
As to your sticks and stones theory, that myth has been busted for a long time. Yes, words do matter. A lot of folks have been have died because of words. Many of the school shooting were caused by someone being bullied to the point of breaking. Lot of suicides because of name calling to the extreme. Think of how someone's self esteem can be affected by being called fat and ugly over and over
While Trump could have done a whole lot more good for this country, he chose to be divisive and the end result is the mess we are in now.
Trump played to his base and that base wasn't big enough to carry him through.
