The real irony of this is that had Trump won in 2020, despite having Congress under Dem control and him being constatnly attacked and probably impeached a 3rd and 4th time, things would not be as dire as they are today.  We would still be energy independent and although gas prices would have certainly risen due to increased demand as the plandemic ended, none of the other actions taken by Dementia Joe to curtail domestic exploration, production, refining and transportation would have occurred.  And the Keystone Pipeline would be close to completion which would help the supply immensely given it is a cheaper, faster and safer alterntative than using Warren Buffet's railroads.

We would not have the level of inflation today as I do not think he would have been foolish enough to pump trillions of new dollars into a recovering economy. And we wouldn't be facing a recession because lower inflation numbers would have allowed the fed to keep the discount rate down.  And without the current Fed action the stock market would not have tanked to the extent it has in response to inflation, increased interest rates and a likely recession.  Nor would the housing market be looking at as big a correction.

The border would be under control and more fencing would be completed.  THe border patrol would actually be encouraged to do their jobs instead of being punished and the illegal caravans would not exist because they would know the border is actually closed to illegals.

We would have exited Afghanistan in a logical, systematic manner and Putin would have been relucatant to invade Ukraine simply because he would have no idea what Trump might do in response.......unlike Dementia Joe which he knew for 100% certainty that his response would be the wrong approach.
