The handwringing over Trump continues and is completely unwarranted. Obama bailed out the entire banking industry to horrifying moral hazard. The US is bailing out Intel for national security reasons and taking a 10% stake is a better deal for US taxpayers than how typical bailouts like GM played out. Sheesh! It's like you can't even read a news story these days without seeing the anti-Trump bias programmed into the article.

Totally unwarranted--you allowed Biden to be US President and he was mentally impaired the ENTIRE TIME and you were just fine with that, probably. So get over it! I had to. The absurdity of modern life is unbelievable.

I wasn’t fine with that but also Trump is way more unhinged, openly advocates for and implements unconstitutional policies, has damaged the US’s reputation on a global level, has been pretty openly corrupt, and idk has been found liable for sexual assault (basically rape) and is probably a pedophile at that via Epstein, not to mention other felonies.

If you’re fine with that rap sheet, more power to you. I’d rather our president be old than be an old rapist wannabe dictator criminal who has, literally said on a recording, “grab em by the pussy” in reference to women.
