Trump& #39;s fighting to take away pre-existing conditions in the courts. His budget is trying to cut SNAP, WIC, medicare & medicaid.

Trickle down doesn& #39;t help you, working-class conservatives - but the GOP keept talking about abortion & immigrants so you& #39;ll keep enabling them to do it.

So, jobs.
DT grew 1.5 mil fewer jobs in his 1st 3 yrs than Obama& #39;s last 3.
Ask your Trump-loving friends which Obama economic trend Trump reversed, rather than merely continued & took credit.
The Obama economic expansion ended on Trump& #39;s watch in Feb, before lockdown.

And I think we& #39;ve learned
that a president
lying about Covid-19,
hundreds of times;
while not having a national strategy 5 months in,
does not help
small business.
Also, worth remembering that businessman Trump outsourced his own merch manufacturing to Mexico & China.

Now, Criminal Justice.
The First Steps Act was a bipartisan, big step to real reform; DT gets credit for signing it.
He gets EXTRA credit bc it& #39;s the opposite of what he campaigned on.
And y& #39;know, he literally called for more police brutality. https://www.americanprogressaction.org/issues/security/news/2020/06/15/177851/trumps-record-police-brutality-peaceful-protests-making-problem-worse/">https://www.americanprogressaction.org/issues/se...

Trump also boasts that Obama couldn& #39;t get it done.
And that& #39;s true, bc when Obama wanted bipartisan CJ reform, Jeff Sessions & Tom Cotton killed it.

Again, it& #39;s true he gets credit for signing it.
It& #39;s also true that Bill Barr is trying to undo as much of The First Steps Act as possible right now:
Barr proves Trump doesn& #39;t actually care about criminal justice reform, or even criminal justice. https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2020/02/trump-just-bragged-about-criminal-justice-reform-look-closer-at-how-his-administration-is-undoing-it/">https://www.motherjones.com/crime-jus...

And he also gets credit for continuing STEM funding to HCBUs.
But then he had to go and lie about it in Davos: “I saved HBCUs. We saved them...They were going out, and we saved them.”
I know, just another of 20k lies; but what a leader, right? https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2020-01-21/ap-fact-check-trump-spreads-distortions-at-davos">https://www.usnews.com/news/poli...

Finally, our military was so depleted we were only spending more $ on it than:
China
Russia
UK
Japan
France
Saudi Arabia
S. Korea
India
Germany
Italy
& Brazil
combined.
You& #39;re too smart for these grifters, @NanHayworth.
I& #39;ve lied to you 20,000 times fewer than Trump.
