(10,148 posts)economy, foreign policy, and immigration. Great jumping Jehoshaphats! The Biden administration has helped create over 14 million jobs at a pace far better than Trumps even before Covid. As for foreign policy, world leaders thought Trump was an ignorant fool, and most Europeans thought US voters had gone off the deep end to elect Trump. He tried to destroy NATO, and he managed to alienate every one of the leaders of our allies with his buffoonery. Most openly laughed at his ridiculous posturing.
As for immigration, Covid slowed the onslaught of migrants at the border, along with Trumps heinous policy of separating children from parents and putting even toddlers in cages, which should have been considered a crime against humanity. Even today, years later, the government doesnt know where thousands of kids Trump took from their parents are. For all we know, they were all sold for sex trafficking because that would fit with Trump and Stephen Millers warped sense of retribution for desperate people daring to appear at the border.
Those polled cited that Bidens policies had hurt them personally. Of course, the pollsters never asked how they gad been hurt. I suspect the hurt would natch right-wing media lies.
