    Trump failed miserably, but was he lying about wanting to do those things or did he just not have the experience and patience needed to get the job done?

    My guess is he gave up trying because he found his supporters were more interested in having a Twitter troll “sticking it to the libs” as President than a statesman that could do the job.

    “Trump tried and failed to deliver an infrastructure package, while Biden succeeded on the issue.

    Trump tried and failed to advance legislation to address gun violence, while Biden succeeded on the issue.

    Trump said he’d use Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug costs, while Biden succeeded on the issue.

    Trump tried and failed to deliver record job growth, while Biden succeeded on the issue.

    Trump even endorsed penalties for stock buybacks, while Biden succeeded on the issue.”

    Biden succeeds again on an issue where Trump tried and failed

    But I ask you this, if Biden was doing such a bang-up job, why are we catching all these immigrants at our southern border? Huh? HUH?

    Sorry my friend but the only thing Biden has succeeded in is getting out of bed, with a lot of help from Jill. That guy can't even dress himself.

    Don't have a fact based response, throw out an insult. How utterly pathetic.

    It's funny how you bust people for referencing Fox News specifically, as well as other conservative outlets, yet your source for the issues above, other than one for Reuters, is MSNBC and R. Maddow. Both are equally slanted, just in opposite directions, and neither are really worth anything when it comes to providing the full story on an issue.

    I’m sure President Biden gets out of bed just fine, but thanks for reminding me of one more thing where Biden was successful where Trump failed, walking and drinking water.

    Well boo hoo. Okay fair enough, but the difference is FoxNews is easily proven wrong or lying. Have a wonderful day.

    It is funny that you are complaining about his sources despite the items he listed being public knowledge and not one being refutable.

    I was complaining about both sources, not just MSNBC. Both sources have their agenda's, and they manipulate information/data to fit that narrative. Rarely, if ever, do either present the full story with all the details. If they did, we would find that many issues ultimately fall somewhere in the middle.

    Look, I am no fan of Trump. But for example, although he did end up sending mixed signals on his personal stance, Trump and Congress did work on the NICS, background check legislation, bump stock bans and the prosecution of firearm offenses. Some progress was made, especially with regard to specific items within each issue, but legislation was never passed mainly due to Senate R's. It was never made fully clear whether Trump would have signed any legislation that would have possibly made it to his desk. Enter Joe Biden and the D controlled Senate(given the VP). Throw in two mass murder events(NY. and TX.), and the desire to sign some form of legislation gets kicked into high gear. So, yes, a bill did get passed. The bill itself is still very light with regard to specifics surrounding the NCIS and State requirements for use, and background check wait periods, but it was enough to get a few more R's to support it. Having said that, the majority of the language in the bill had been generated and discussed during Trump's time in office and was not new based on JB being in office, or the D's control of the Senate, but that wasn't mentioned in the article. No, it was simply Trump failed and Biden succeeded. Neither is completely true, nor completely false. I would submit that the passing of weak gun legislation was based more on two more mass murder events than anything else.

    Gees, read 99% of the left started threads on too hot. 2/3 of the first page is insults and name calling. At least I kept the insult where it belonged and didn't include Biden voters.

    You really don't want to start comparing mishaps like falling off of bikes, shaking hands of invisible people on multiple occasions, reading end of quote off the teleprompter do you?

    I love your repeated defense that your troglodytic behavior is acceptable because of similar behavior by "the left". It screams an inability to be the better man and acknowledges that all interactions should result in a race to the bottom. Maybe that's the only zone in which you're capable of participating.

    I would love to see a video of Trump even getting on a bike, but come on, it’s you that doesn’t want to do a comparison.
