    I would consider the possibility of "possibly" with rational people but your posting history removes any question of your purport.

    Maybe u should buy a red hat with that on it - sounds like a good slogan. If there were only a shorter way of putting it.

    Donald Trump Would Be Richer If He’d Have Invested in Index Funds
    ...if Trump had invested in an index fund in 1988, his net worth would be as much as $13 billion.

    The S&P 500 has grown 1,336% since 1988.

    Then your judgemental bias shines through loud and clear.

    We have no idea of his net worth since he refuses to release his financials.

    Yes, it is. Youre a fool if you think Biden would do anything for this country other than the status quo. He'll make it less outrageous than Trump thats for sure. Other than that? Nothing. Its literally his campaign strategy to just tell people he wont be like Trump. How exciting.

    His father's empire was calculated at between 250 and 300 million according to investopedia.
    Forbes latest estimate puts his wealth at around 3.1 billion.

    Even if that were true... the majority of the country would ecstatically embrace the former status quo. Your guy, Trump, is that bad. The old status quo, without 120k new dead Americans (climbing) and without record unemployment and without the torrent of daily lies and denial of plain facts... looks pretty damned good.

    We did not have to own the world's highest COVID death toll and worst response, with epic devastation to our economy. It did not have to be that way. We did not have to worsen relations with all of our long-standing major allies. Did not. We did not have to have an executive branch spouting the most divisive, counter-evidence drivel in this nation's history. We did not have to watch record levels of corruption throughout the executive branch. Did not.

    And most Americans are damn ready to move past all of this record-setting, caustic bullshit.

    Enjoy the bed you've made. You've got to wear it. You apologized for and supported the abomination.

    We still have not seen his financials/tax returns which he promised to release. So, as far as we know, his net worth is $0.

    Trump is the status quo.... All he did was lower taxes..... bunch of deregulatuon..... and blew up the debt (pre-Covid) which is the same playbook used by Reagan and Bush Jr (Bush Sr I can respect as he actually raised taxes because he thought he was the right thing to do at the time).

    If it was nothing..... then why did Trump campaign on and actually undo a bunch of Obama/Biden era rules? BIden is a boring moderate Dem is what I think you are trying to say.

    He would have 13x if he simply put it in an index fund. So he under preformed the market. That is a fact.

    Fair. I just don't agree as strongly about Biden doing nothing or push forward. I think Biden is more like Bush Jr, an empty suit moderate (albeit a liberal moderate) who can be pushed to be progressive in some areas and moderate in others. Just a gut feeling, Biden's big proposal will be a semi progressive Green New Deal that will also serve as a chunk of Biden's China response. The medium proposal is something on healthcare in between ACA and a Bernie type universal healthcare (public option?).

    The party is ready to push forward, so maybe Biden will get pushed along with it.
