America face race riots in the streets. There was open looting and lawlessness. In many places, there were food lines as desperate families begged for food. The country ran out of toilet paper, paper towels, and flour. The commodity of oil dropped to essentially zero on the open market. Unemployment surged, Trump would become the first president since Hoover to have a net job loss. The stock market crash before being supported by the country printing money with reckless abandonment which would be one cause of the massive inflation in coming years, the government gave out forgivable loans, that were forgiven, that went to people like Tom Brady instead of the millions in need. The wall pointlessly built on the southern border at 30 billion in expense did nothing to prevent immigration as the jobs dried up making the wall meaningless. It would eventually fall over in many places. Trumps virus response started with denial, then devolved into an uncoordinated effort of daily press briefings where Trump contradicted the briefing from the day before and often his own experts. There would never be a coordinated 50 state response to the virus making it impossible to keep the hospitals from being over run. Meanwhile the war in Syria would end with our allies being abandoned and over run as Trump cut and ran from them, the same would soon happen in Afghanistan as Trump devised the same fate for our allies there. America created not one but three vaccines to a deadly virus, but created no plan to distribute it to the people.

Trump's cabinet by this time had devolved into a cast of unconfirmed acting deputies, his AG was essentially working full time to prevent him from going to jail for the crimes he had committed.

Trump was a horrible president. A president that promised all the above would happen if Biden won. It all happened under him. Meanwhile Biden will leave office without riots, stock market crashes, a stable cabinet, and with a huge amount of respect around the world. WTF is anyone voting for Trump. He destroyed America and Biden against all odds picked it up again. Trump is trash and rides around in a garbage truck to prove it.
