Just out of curiosity, what is worse for you now, under Trump, than it was not under him? Has anything changed for you?

Yes. I'm now being led by a man who thinks it's OK to "grab women by the pussy". Oh, and he thinks global climate change is a myth. And pardons criminals if their relatives donate to his political campaign. Should I not expect more from the leader of my country?

That's nice, but you haven't answered my question. And another thing, how much did emissions reduce under Biden? It's your country, so you should know these things.
So Trump is a ****. Wow. How unusual for a man in power-- or any politician for that matter

No. I told you what has changed. Biden was lame but didn't deny climate change. So is denying that global climate change is real an improvement? Should I not expect a president to be a mature adult? Should I criticise Democrats when they engage in politically inappropriate behavior but not Republicans? Is there a reason that I should give Trump a special pass?

Deeds, not words. Hope this helps. You're welcome.

OK. As I pointed out he's pardoned criminals when their family members have donated to his campaign. Is that not a "deed"?

So Biden didn't do the same thing (or every other president for that matter)? I'm no 'Trumpist'. I couldn't give a shit about him. I'm an objectivist. He's no worse than any other US president and you know it.
