@axtremus as I have said, I think there are many things that President Trump did well during his presidency but his overall character outweighed much of that good that he did. I think @xenon said it better than I could in an earlier post.
Basically, for those who like President Trump, his positives weigh more than his flaws. For those who do not like him, his flaws weigh more than his positives.
For me, it would have to be a very very poor republic candidate that would make me vote for President Trump over them.

Are we already pretending like he didn’t leave in disgrace, after he lost?
I don’t think he’ll ever be able to shake that as his primary legacy. Well earned, too. I’m glad he is paying the price for being a sitting President lying about an election and refusing to concede.

I agree with the other points you made in this thread. But I'm not so sure about this one. His X-treme lovers have proved that they will forgive him anything. Any number of things he's said/done should have kiboshed him with the voters, and we've seen that that didn't happen, over and over again.

I agree but I think his legacy is more than just his followers...but history will record him as being one of the worst presidents in history: Unable to win a 2nd term, impeached twice, oversaw a fumbled pandemic response, incited an insurrection at the Capitol, said he would never concede the election he resoundingly lost.

I think Trump will wear the impeachments as a badge of honor, and a symbol of what the political elites in the swamp do to the middle class. It is a great opener, to talk about the impeachments, and what they really meant, and use that to rally a crowd.
Trump will still attack the elites, even though he is one with bags of money. He is the only one that represents the flyover country. Nobody else does. Not Republican, and especially not Democrat.
But, people are moving, socialism creeps in more and more.
Democrats are now far-left or shut up.
And there's a couple of years for the Dem's to get away with whatever they want, and that's a couple of years to plan, and to build. Maybe. Certainly will be entertaining to see what Trump does. -
There are too many fools and imbeciles contributing to the idea that Trump has a track record of unforgivable things, against the backdrop of what humans actually do, to be taken seriously. I mostly know this due to my study and knowledge of history.

At some point, you run out of other people's money. I don't buy into MMT. I don't think socialism can work.
And I think that as Joe taxes and tanks the 401k market, he's going to run into a political buzzsaw.

Posted the link in another forum thread, but fits here too.
QUOTE
Eight years and one economic disaster later, America took a hard left turn and elected Franklin D. Roosevelt, the anti-Coolidge. Barron’s warned that the Democrat was a “public-ownership” devotee at “the ‘red’ end of the spectrum,” and Roosevelt did indeed usher in the era of big government.Yet during FDR’s first term, the Dow soared to 185.96 from 53.84—a jump of 245%, surpassing Coolidge’s bump by a wide margin.
If this tells us anything about presidents and their economic success, it’s that timing is everything. Take Herbert Hoover. He assumed office at the Coolidge peak and got buried when it collapsed. War and disease upended other presidencies. All administrations are subject to larger global forces that often scuttle even the best-laid economic plans.

If you think Joe taxing 401k funds is not going to have a major effect upon the market, you need to think that over again.

@jolly all I am saying is that if you look at historic‘s, there is very little difference between the terms of a democrat and Republic.
I don’t see any reason why President Biden would be that different from the historical average.

What I have always said. The president does not have as much affect as people say. The president gets too much praise when everything goes up up up, and too much blame when everything goes down.
