Opinion: Trump wiped out Obama's jobs and economic gains in a few weeks

From the article:

After Trump publicly exposed himself as Earth’s preeminent moron regarding how science relates to combatting the novel coronavirus, the imbecile-in-chief claimed his new focus is America’s economy. If that is Trump’s intent, then it is worth looking at why America is facing an economic disaster after his predecessor, President Barack Obama, left him with a raging economic success. Most people understand that Trump inherited a thriving “Obama economy” only to completely decimate it in a matter of weeks.

It is no secret that besides robbing American taxpayers, Trump’s laser-focus was on eliminating all of President Barack Obama’s accomplishments and policies enacted over a combative eight years. As leader of the Executive Branch of government, wiping out Barack Obama’s achievements is still dirty Don Trump’s raison d’être.

Erasing policies that benefit all Americans has always been the GOP’s primary goal, and with Trump in a place he does not belong they have been wildly successful. With valuable assistance from “Moscow Mitch” McConnell, Trump has inflicted damage on America that will last for a generation, at least. But one area that Trump inflicted serious damage was unilaterally wiping out all of the jobs and economic gains earned by an effective President’s Administration that put America and its people’s best interests front and center.

I welcome always your beneficent remembrance of me especially at this time.

It's rough. I'm spoilt. Conveniences. But then what happened here last year. Emotions. Thoughts. Thinking.

Still haven't gotten the stimulus benefit. Hope it's at the PO Box. IRS may be at fault. On DD/SS so it shoulda landed in the bank account. I tell myself good things come to those who wait/practice patience.

Stay healthy, and may all your needs be met! 💛

Social Security has my DD bank account on file. We owed tax liability last year so they won't go by our tax return banking info. TurboTax says IRS HAS bank account info, but we're talking IRS. Fine. HOWEVER, I'm in the system for SS Direct Deposit for years now.

I don't care if I receive a paper check. I just don't feature not receiving anything and having to go bonkers dealing with them.

I gave up trying to get info on the 'Get My Payment' place.
