What was Donald Trump's worst policies during his first presidency?

[iamgine]

I often meet people who hates Trump but it's mainly because of his flawed character. i.e his twitter comments, sexual harassment case, loud mouth, etc. But very seldom actual policies.

Since it's likely he's going to be serving his 2nd term soon, I'd like to know what's the top 3 policies you object to during his first administration. Not what he said, but what his administration actually passed. It can be domestic or foreign policies.

Disbanding the pandemic response dept when he entered office. When Covid hit, he urged Americans to basically ignore it and undermined his own administration in hopes that the virus kills more democratic voters than republican, since dems tend to live closer together in larger cities while republicans are more likely in the boonies.

Corporate tax cuts and tax cuts for the 1%. Eventually, these guys run out of things to invest in and just purchase more buybacks which creates an artificial money multiplier on stock value with nothing backing it, creating a bubble. It also caused hedgefunds to buy single family homes, which were thought of as a high capital, low return investment in the past, but with the market so bloated… they have to invest in something, so congrats, most Americans can no longer afford homes and the homes that should have been bought by newly graduated Gen z’ers joining the workforce basically got transferred to the 1%.

Raised taxes for the middle and lower middle classes in 2021 and every 2 years after until 2027. The middle and lower middle classes are the biggest spenders in the economy, and with high consumer participation it creates real backing for stock values.

Tariffs on Chinese steel and tech. This one depends on how you see it, I personally don’t think fvcking ourselves over to stick it to china is worth it, but maybe you do. Video card prices got screwed in the process. I’m not against the tariffs forever, but we needed to establish our own microchips before doing that lol. Anyone halfway competent would have known that.

Record deficit spending AFTER a tax cut. Admittedly, this was very smart. You buy a lot of votes with people with 7 digit 401k’s, so a huge transfer of votes from the educated workforce which is the Democrat bread and butter, especially older gen x who are looking to retire soon. Game recognize game and I respect the hustle, but deficit spending after a tax cut, esp before the middle class tax hike of 2021 hasn’t kicked in yet, has historically been proven to be bad in the long run.

This is without getting into ‘how he acts’ or any kind of morality. I can give two shits about how many porn stars he sleeps with.

The policy of inaction in going after enemies of the State (i.e. Democrats, The Swamp, The Deep State).

But that won't happen a second time.

RvW was overturned thanks to Trump but if you want to read some scary policies just read about Project 2025.

His "antics" matter though. How he addresses the country matters. You guys write it off as "mean tweets" but a leader is supposed to lead his citizens, not talk down to them. When a leader does that it causes the citizens to revolt. Like it or not it is a major flaw with Trump.

Leaders don't imprison their political enemies such as the Biden administration has done. Trump sets people free. Biden puts you in jail.

If Liberals want a war, we will give them a war.

Trump did a terrible job hiring/appointing people during his first term. If he was half as bad as the media claims that he is, he would have appointed ron paul to run the federal reserve... and clowns like john bolton and mike pompeo would never have even sniffed any kind of meaningful role.

I will personally tell Trump next time I see him that he must bomb every Wisconsin farm. Your days are numbered. We ain't ****ing around this time.

[Lakers Legend#32]

What policies?

He job consisted of watching FOX News till noon.

Holding his Klan rally.

Then golfing.

The whole time Jarred ran the country.

Knowing how to delegate and who you should delegate to is the most important aspect of leadership though. You think Morris Chang literally single-handedly built TSMC and made Taiwan the microchip powerhouse of the world? No, he knew who to bring in and where to assert himself but also when to take a backseat.

You are dealing with people who think Donald Trump cares about corruption in Washington.

This is what people say to support lazy leaders.

Trump hasn't been the worst POTUS ever as a lot of libs like to say, that goes to GWB. Trump was just another goofy run of the mill GOP president who only cares about Corporate America and the 1%, just like Biden too. Only differences are the non important social issues, gotta have something where they don't agree on. Social issues really don't affect your life, unlike the neoliberal economic policies they endorse. He also is rife with comedic material, unlike the boring sleepy guy currently in office rn.

Social issues don't affect your life? Tell that to the Afghans fleeing Afghanistan or the Iranians under the mullahs.

Abortion is a very important social issue and whether it saves a "life" or not isn't even the main issue. It is really about whether someone else gets to dictate what happens to your body. If a society can accept a woman being compelled to bring a fetus to term (which is a violation as bad as rape) what can it not accept? You don't wear the right clothes? Jail. You don't have the right sexual proclivities? Jail. You don't have the right skin color? Jail. You don't pray? Jail. All that is really minor if you think about it when compared to violating women who want an abortion so why not? After all they are doing it for your own good so you don't have a say in the matter and should be grateful instead.

The Taliban and the Iranian Mullahs are on the extreme side of orthodox conservatism. That will never fly in the US. I don't agree with there being 856 genders but if a state insists making establishments pit up a 3rd bathroom, how's that gonna affect you? Recently I applied for a new US passport, on the online form it had male, female, or x for nonspecific, I just had to chuckle, checked male and continued with the application, didn't affect me whatsoever. I'm conservative on social issues, but if these transexual goofballs want to be called ladies, then whatever bro. I don't believe they are but it doesn't affect my life at all.
