   DonaldTrump’s First Term Is a Warning
   
   Republicans have tried to rewrite the four years of Trump’s presidency as a time of unparalleled peace, prosperity and tranquility: “the strongest economy in history,” as Senator Katie Britt of Alabama put it during the Republican National Convention. The difference between Trump and Biden? “President Trump honored the Constitution,” said Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota. Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia offered Mr. Trump’s first term as an example of “common-sense conservative leadership.”
   
   The record of what Mr. Trump actually did in office bears little resemblance to that description. Under his leadership, the country lurched from one crisis to the next, from the migrant families separated at the border to the sudden spike in prices caused by his trade war with China to the reckless mismanagement of the Covid pandemic. And he showed, over and over, how little respect he has for the Constitution and those who take an oath to defend it.
   
   For Americans who may have forgotten that time, or pushed it from memory, we offer this timeline of his presidency. Mr. Trump’s first term was a warning about what he will do with the power of his office — unless American voters reject him.
   
   That is a great piece. Info, photos, video. A shame some wont be able to check it out.

   So, who is it that continues to spin the idea that things were so great during the Trump years?

   PBS
   
   Another interesting documentary comparing the two candidates. From the beginning, Trump has had a tradition of challenging the rules, not apologizing, not taking responsibility for error assuming the he, himself, is infallible. Well, that intimidation style may make for a business model but it has no place in governing, where the integrity of our political system require that our leaders operate within the rules and not try to break them. Most of you will have a time sitting through a 2 hour documentary, but I did learn a bit about what makes Trump tick. So, it can't  be about "me", it has to be about "us".

      Thanks for the recommendation. Bookmarked for later in the day. I like PBS productions as they seem fair to me. Allsides rates their bias very slightly lean left of center. More on the line if anything.
