Americans want a miracle worker not a president

Most Americans have a delusional view of what a President can do to solve our country's problems and prevent new ones.

Voters want a miracle worker not a President. Someone who will waive a magic wand and eliminate economic inequality, stop climate change, secure the border, stop mass shootings and bring peace to the world.

Trump promises to fix everything without giving specifics. Nevermind the fact he had 4 years to solve all those problems and didn’t. His followers want easy answers to complex problems. Trump voters aren't in crisis. They're spoiled and impatient.

At this point unless Biden is able to unilaterally eliminate all student debt, stop Netanyahu and Putin from waging endless war and build a 200 foot wall across the southern border 60% of the country is going to disapprove of him.

They think Trump will fix everything. When in reality he'll create more problems in their lives than they can possibly imagine. A second Trump administration will make 2020 look the golden age.

Hopefully the electorate wakes up to that reality before November. If not they'll be whining a year from now, "President Trump promised to make America perfect and hasn't. Let's impeach him or vote him out."

Yeah good luck with that. If he gets back in the White House he's never leaving. And congress and the courts won't even try to stop him.

because he hadn't solved all of our problems before he was sworn in. Not a joke.

Until Trump became President and then suddenly we had the greatest economy ever.

I guarantee if Trump gets back in his voters will finally start to believe all these positive economic indicators are real and give all credit to Cheeto Mussolini.

Why didn’t he fix it the first time?
He didn’t build a wall, he didn’t fix the economy, he racked up 7 trillion in debt.
He killed a million people with COVID.

They think the only reason Trump didn't get those things done was because the DC swamp and corrupt bureaucracy stopped him.

That's why his promise to govern like an autocrat doesn't bother them.

Think. Again.

I mean, why should we reelect a honorable, decent and effective president when we could have a crazy, criminal fascist?

The time before Covid. They have a mythical view of what Trump's first 3 years as President were like.
