That was at the very end of his term. What did he do during his term that was so bad? I was enjoying the stable economy and lower prices. I mean let’s put emotions aside and be real. What was the real issue?
are you motherfucking for real? it's ok that he incited a deadly riot to try to stay in an office he never should have been allowed to step into, because he did it at the end of his term?
real issues? ok, some real issues...
January 4, 2018 – The Trump administration
drafted a proposal to open 94% of previously protected American shorelines to offshore drilling. The plan, entitled the
National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Draft Proposed Program, would distribute the first drilling leases for the California coast in 49 years, while also adding nearly a billion acres of new drilling area in the Arctic and along the Eastern Seaboard.
Trump’s plan would be the single largest expansion of offshore drilling in American history. The Obama administration had spent about five years and hundreds of millions of dollars to
lay down protections for the Arctic and Atlantic Seaboards in 2015 and 2016. Of the 22 governors representing coastal states effected by the new proposal,
15 of them disagreed with the president’s plan to open drilling (1/3 of these dissenting governors were from the Republican party). In an article on the threat the new drilling would pose to the environment and marine wildlife, the Director for Federal Affairs at the National Resources Defense Council
called Trump’s proposal, “the most extreme fossil fuel assault on our nation’s public oceans—ever.”
January 4, 2018 – Donald Trump
dissolved his commission on voter fraud in the 2016 election. The commission found no verifiable evidence of voter fraud.
January 8, 2018 – A study by
Factbase’s Bill Frischling found that Donald Trump speaks at a fourth-grade level. After evaluating Trump’s speech patterns and vocabulary on the Flesch-Kincaid grade level scale, Factbase determined Trump communicates at the lowest level of any president since Herbert Hoover. (Herbert Hoover actually spoke at an eleventh-grade level; Factbase’s study didn’t analyze any president from before 1929.) The fourth-grade competency discovered by Frischling resonated with another review nearly three years earlier conducted by the
Boston Globe. The
Globe had analyzed the verbal fluency of all presidential candidates based on their statements during presidential debates. Their review determined Trump’s language was the least sophisticated of all 19 candidates—including both Democrats and Republicans. Mirroring the results of the Factbase study in 2018,
Trump’s verbal fluency during 2015 presidential debates equaled that of a fourth grader.
January 11, 2018 – According to an account of an immigration meeting with members of Congress, Donald Trump
allegedly referred to Haiti, El Salvador, and nations in Africa as “shithole countries.” In regard to the 60,000 Haitian immigrants sheltered in America following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Trump purportedly said, “Why do we want people from Haiti here?” Trump followed this saying that the U.S. should admit more people from places like Norway, and that he would accept more Asian immigrants because he believed them to be beneficial to the economy.
January 17, 2018 – In January of 2018, the adult film actress Stormy Daniels

Daniels said she and Trump met several times after their first encounter. Then, a few weeks before the 2016 election, Donald Trump’s lawyer paid Daniels a sum of $130,000 to keep her affair with Trump from public knowledge.
January 18, 2018 – Donald Trump appointee

public praise from known white supremacists like David Duke and Richard Spencer. Following the speech, Spencer tweeted, “Trump said that he wants to maintain the “nuclear family” by ending chain migration. Basically, he’s implying the superiority of the Prostestent [sic] “wife and kids” over the South American and African extended family. Interesting rhetoric.”
