Dragging America in the Mud

The performance scorecards of Donald Trump as the 45th president of America come with mixed reactions. He was able to fulfill some of his campaign promises to the supporters who voted for him in 2016.

In his 2016 campaign promises, he promised to withdraw America from major international agreements such as the nuclear weapon deal and the Paris Climate Accords. No doubt, all these were to the delight of his supporters during his presidency. However, those actions were rejected by the international community, making America's global image battered.

Also, his presidency caused polarization among Americans, and he was perceived as a divisive figure going by his repeated attacks on the opposition. Trump failed in his promise to eliminate US debt in eight years, but he managed to increase it by 36%.

His approach to managing the Covid-19 pandemic was another low point for him in the White House. The pandemic badly hit the US economy and caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs because of the lack of proactive measures to combat the virus. Again, over 400,000 US citizens lost their lives to the virus.

Donald Trump will be remembered forever for his numerous attacks on the 2020 US presidential election, which resulted in him inciting his supporters who invaded the Capitol on 6th January 2020. A day termed as a dark day in US history by many.

Also, his government was perceived as being indifferent to the killing of George Floyd. Without mincing words, there were doubts on the US democratic institution during his tenure as America was no longer the country it used to be because of Trump's actions and policies that dragged America in the mud and made it a laughing stock among the county of nations.

This book discusses the errors of Donald Trump in the White House. It sheds more light on Trump's presidency's mistakes and failures that made America lose its respect globally, thereby making it a laughing stock among the comity of nations.
