"I think the best way to judge President Trump's 2nd term is by what he did in his 1st term."

Okay?

"Russia didn't invade on President Trump's watch."

Trump legitimized Putin at the expense of his own government. He gave Russia classified information about Israeli spy operations in the Middle East. He begged the G7 readmit Russia. He proposed forming a joint cyber security task force with Russia. Trump's own national security advisor says he was going to pull out of NATO and hand Putin Ukraine in his second term.

"Hamas didn't try to destroy Israel on his watch."

Terror attacks against Israel tripled after Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

"The Afghanistan...the Taliban wasn't in charge on his watch."

Trump negotiated the surrender of Afghanistan to the Taliban. Trump released 5000 detained Taliban members as part of that negotiation. Hell, here's a tweet from Trump's Secretary of State featuring a picture of him with the Taliban's co-founder.

Then there's all the stuff he didn't say about Trump's first term.

  • He didn't mention how Trump lied to the public about a deadly virus that would ultimately kill more than a million Americans.
  • He didn't mention how he eroded trust in our institutions and our democracy.
  • He didn't mention how hate crimes spiked under Trump, white nationalists were emboldened, and Neo Nazis openly hailed him as their leader.
  • He didn't mention all the economic damage Trump did to the country with his tax cuts, record spending, and protectionism policies.
  • He said nothing of Trump abandoning the allies who helped us defeat ISIS, or him tearing up the Iran Nuclear Deal, or him pulling us out of the Paris Accords, or him antagonizing our NATO allies.
  • No mention of Trump being impeached for extortion, or all the money he pilfered from the tax payers, or all the money his businesses received from foreign interests.
  • He certainly didn't mention the insurrection Trump incited or the coup he plotted against our country, or the violence he unleashed on peaceful protesters after people laughed at him for hiding in a bunker, or his calls for violence against BLM protesters.
  • And then there's the whole overturning Roe v. Wade thing that's led to 10-year old girls being forced to give birth to their rapist's child.
