On Threads I asked 'Tell us what the PedoFelon has done to improve anyone's life but his own.'

Because someone had posted this -
Another poster wrote - 'This whole list is totally delusional. Trump did more for our country his first day as president than Obama did in eight years.'
That was when I posted: 'Tell us what the PedoFelon has done to improve anyone’s life but his own'.

And this was the response I got back.
Where have u been living the past 6years? lol are u aware of the US debt? Are u aware of black colleges having permanent funding now? Are u aware of no tax on tips, overtime, & social security… lol are u aware the value of the dollar bill is high again?… lol are u aware of the pledge of allegiance being implemented? I can keep going & going… are u aware that every president since Clinton been talking about Iran & only person to do something about it is Trump… lol are u aware of that?


I know that it's a lot of half truths and posturing, but I'm at a loss how to answer it concisely in about 250 characters.

The people pushing these lies don't care about the truth.

They hate Barack Obama and his family because they are Black.

There's nothing anybody can do to change their minds. Facts won't make a dent. These people don't care.

Take solace in the fact that they're probably suffering more because of Trump than you are. It's petty but there it is.

Have they heard of Barack Obama and the Iran nuclear deal that Trump ripped up? It was working well, despite Trump lying about it constantly.

Trump - 34 felony counts of fraud

Obama - Fox News attempted to make up imaginary crimes but had no basis.

"The index was designed to help traders assess whether the US Dollar is strengthening or weakening and is known for its transparency and simplicity. It reflects the change in value of the US Dollar measured against the basket of currencies: it rises when the US Dollar gains value relative to this basket and it falls when the opposite happens."
Feb 1 2017: 12,362
Feb 1 2021: 11,714 (down 5.2%, 1st Trump term)
Feb 1 2025: 13,176 (up 12.5% Biden term)
now: 12,665 (down 3.9% so far, 2nd Trump term)

That index history goes back to Jan 1 2011. So what it has under Obama until 2017 was a gain of 24.1%, but not his full 8 year term.

It's a hard thing to decide what to do...I hate doing homework for ignoramuses. Willful ignoramuses. I've probably devoted years of my life to informing them. On the other hand, while they aren't interested in learning the facts, there are other readers in the thread who may actually be open to learning.

You might also inform this idiot that TSF wasn't the only one to do something about Iran(Obama)--he was just the only one stupid enough to go in without a plan or any appreciation that he would disrupt the global economy if he did it with violence. And you gotta address that stupidity about the debt. If the goal is to make it higher, TSF is the winner!

Justice matters.

BECAUSE the economy sucks, BECAUSE gas is 20-40% higher and visitors from abroad are not showing up (like in Vegas) at the same rate than they did pre-dump?
