  • And he has no clue what he just said to him. Thanks all of you who voted for this. It's your fault.
  • @TTiger86268
    Trump didn't lie, but Biden sure did every time he spoke.
  • @rgn87654
    So, did anyone else notice he didn't answer the question. He just said why the other guy sucked. We are screwed.

    To tackle drug addictions pharma needs to be held to account for the many awful drugs is puts out.
  • Why not say, “we’re going to classify Mexican cartels as ‘terrorists’ and act accordingly?”
  • I work in a store that sells things for outdoor use. Camping, hunting, fishing, clothing. I work in the back of the store which is warehouse. Trucks come in several times a week. Seems like most of the boxes that are unloaded say, "Made in China." I guess it is cheaper to get these things made and shipped in all the way from China. Makes me think about all the jobs that are needed in our country.

    Largest budget deficit, most inflation, highest gas prices ever. Budget deficits by year: 2017: 78.3 billion 2018: 779 billion 2019: 205 billion 2020: 3.1 Trillion Total = 4.1 Trillion 2021: 2.8 Trillion 2022: 1.4 Trillion 2023: 1.7 Trillion 2024: 1.2 Trillion so far Total = 7.1 Trillion Currency inflation by year: 2017: 2.13% 2018: 1.9% 2019: 1.81% 2020: 1.23% Total = 7.07% 2021: 4.7% 2022: 8.0% 2023: 3.4% 2024: 3.3% so far Total = 19.4% National average gas price by year: 2017: $2.40 2018: $2.74 2019: $2.33 2020: $2.17 4-year average = $2.41 2021: $3.01 2022: $3.52 2023: $3.52 2024: $3.48 so far 4-year average = $3.38 Go ahead, blame Putin, blame the pandemic, blame Trump, blame Republicans, but if that were true, then who’s running the country if Joe Biden isn’t responsible for any of the outcomes we face today? Border crisis solved or eased? Absolutely not. Peace in the Middle East? Nope. Brokered at peace between Russia and Ukraine? Nope. Is your home and car insurance any cheaper or stayed the same? Nope. Are groceries and utilities any cheaper or stayed the same? Nope. How about material and labor costs of any builder, mechanic, or skilled trade? Nope. Literally everything is more expensive because our money is worth less and energy costs a lot more. How many billions did the US send to Iran under Trump? None. How many billions have we sent to them under Biden? $6 billion. Why is the US writing checks to Iran? How much of our SPR did Trump sell to China? None. He filled it up. How much has Biden sold to China? 180 million barrels. Whose pipeline did Trump green light? Ours, the KeystoneXL Whose pipeline did Trump sanction? Russia’s NordStream2 Whose pipeline did Biden green light? Russia’s. Whose pipeline did Biden terminate? Ours. Whose border did Trump spend millions on? Ours. Whose border has Biden spent BILLIONS on? Ukraine’s. You’re an idiot if you think Joe Biden has been good for America. We’re all suffering, all we get is “a little bit of breathing room” and your hatred of Trump isn’t sufficient to disprove that fact.

    What happened to "just say no" to drugs? People need to take personal responsibility with the help of God. Amen
  • The people's fault as well for having to be addicted/die because of drug overdoses. People are responsible for their own health and well-being. Not all politicians fault for babysitting over 18 years old. What we eat/putting inside our bodies is extremely important for our health. Anyone's who uses drugs or any supplements, including those called multivitamins, is not healthy. Our immune system requires real food without poisonous chemicals added.

    Trump didn't answer the question, "What are you going to do about the people who are currently addicted to fentanyl and other opioids? Any choice is better than either of them.

  • @plpfctn2007
    Trump didn’t answer the question at all 😂😂😂
  • Tariffs are paid by the consumer NOT the manufacturer. We import. We pay. It inflates the price for the consumer. Is Trump stupid or does he think we are? Not good either way.
