The real picture:

170,000 dead from the Covid-19 pandemic.

At least 17 million unemployed.

Long food lines in Texas attempting to get something to eat.

The country divided unlike any other time in our lifetimes.

Racial strife in our cities due to police brutality and economic conditions.

Suppression of the vote and stifling the USPS, in order to try and steal an election.

Lies, lies, and more lies, as the people struggle to find the truth.

Partisan anger and hatred as our country drifts aimlessly without leadership.

Yes, Donald Trump is doing an "incredible" job.

Kidnapped children and babies like he's King Herod on steroids.

Doesn't take responsibility, even though he "alone can fix things".

He loves reality TV. We can vote him off "This Island Earth".

I think this one is a touch off - that is, the division was always there but now we are just seeing it more openly displayed.

The division existed before Trump and I would argue that it's because of the division that we have Trump.

The damage Donald Trump has done over nearly four years is difficult to measure and understand. Historians will spend at least the next twenty years trying to explain the Trump era. For me, the most shocking realization has been how easily one man (aided and abetted by the GOP, of course) has been able to thoroughly destroy the concept of truth and the rule of law in this country.
