Can you educate me on what President Trump successfully cut in spending?
I've already told you SEVERAL TIMES - Trump inherited a disastrous situation (SOMETHING YOU"VE SAID MANY TIMES). He needed to eradicate ISIS ($$$$$$$) and he had to lower revenues through tax cuts to stimulate a stagnant economy.
I understand your early onset TDS has resulted in you forgetting all these things.

I assure you, calling me TDS isn't going to change facts.
He had four years to end wars. He didn't.
He had four years to cut spending. He didn't
These are simple facts. Making excuses for him that he inherited a disaster, and then he got another disaster in 2020, and sure he had bad judgement on a bunch of people but that wasn't his fault... And he definitely was going to eventually cut spending but just didn't have the chance.... And just you wait in 2025 it will be different.
That's not giving me a lot of confidence.
He was the best president of my lifetime. That does not mean he was a good president. I want better. He moved a lot of things in a good direction but he failed miserably in execution. Time to pass the baton to someone more ruthless, more competent, less amenable to ego, and a clear better track record off execution.

Agreed those were all very good (except not ending the war in Afghanistan - he let his deep state advisors talk him out of it). Great job by Trump. He also kept Russia at bay. A much better situation than our current one
Its great when politicians use their power to protect citizens from poison.
ENough of the trash Libertarian playbook.
There would be no Desantis without......
When someone actually has the power to do these things its important for them to do it.

You keep saying this
And yet, there hasn't been a Dem governor in Florida since 1994
It looks to me like Trump's endorsement may have actually hurt DeSantis, based on the numbers and trends
Also, this is like saying there is no Michael Jordan without Phil Jackson
Regardless of how he got there... He has performed, executed, and delivered. I don't give a **** about an endorsement from 2018 when thinking a out 2024
Trump changed the whole conversation in politics. Arguing otherwise shows your colors.
All of us despite his future should be eternally grateful for that.

Consider me grateful
But if one Trump's proteges is better than trump, why wouldn't we both want that option?
I'll always want a better option - I don't see it yet based on the history of being pro-war and the fact he needed to "study" mannerisms.
As Tim Pool said it - Some people are CEO's and some are COO's.
Desantis is amazing at what he does and you'll be hard pressed to find me say anything otherwise.

I can't understand why you are so critical of someone .. while excusing every major ****up of someone else
Trump the CEO gave control of the company to the guy actively trying to burn it down. Unforgivable
Your prinicpal criticism of Trump is one move in response to a coordinated globalist attack to remove him from power. Even the mere idea that the globlists needed to do this and risk the world is all I need to know that Trump is the guy.

I have many criticisms of Trump.
In most cases I gave him the benefit of the doubt... he was easily a net positive... and doing a lot of good things and woke a lot of people.
But when it came to the greatest crisis in our country in 150 years... he bent over and failed. Plain and simple. We are paying the consequences right now, and will take decades to climb out of.
Acting like he single handedly could have prevented State/Global lockdowns is impressive I'll tell you that. This was a coordinated attack at all levels of the globe. The Alex Jones listener in you knows this is the truth. This was carefully coordianted and it was in response to how good of a job Trump was doing fixing the world.
