      Tax cuts to the rich and powerful, weakening our reputation of being a mighty nation that at least tries to defend freedom and independence by pinning Ukraine aid on whether they helped him personally, gutting rules that protect the little guys from big corporations.

        Using the government to directly benefit his businesses. Out in the open, high level corruption. Allowing foreign governments to directly put money in his pockets through his businesses. Refusing to concede he lost a free and fair election, even to this day. Instigating violence in an attempt to hold onto power after losing re-election. Setting policy by Tweet without consulting anyone or having a plan to roll it out. Left his underlings utterly confused as to what was going on. Refusing to admit errors. Lying to cover up errors. Getting rushed to the hospital for treatment of severe COVID and then walking around the White House without a mask. Absolutely set a terrible example. Inconsistent messaging about best practices for Americans during the pandemic. Illegally holding up aid to Ukraine as leverage to force Ukraine to announce an investigation into Joe Biden’s son. Didn’t even care if there actually was an investigation. Just wanted it announced. Was he promoting US policy goals or his own campaign for re-election? Pressuring the Attorney General to drop investigations of links between his campaign and Russian agents. Please don’t think this is an exhausting list. There was at least a scandal a week during that guys terrible Presidency.
