You know Biden had access to the Epstein files and yet did nothing about it. At least with Trump, the case is in the spotlight again. While I disagree with the handling of it, that isn't what is truly important. What's really important is we do something about the overspending and inflation from the previous administration.

I honestly don't think he's going overboard with tariffs. Canada had 250-300% tariffs on U.S. diary products while Biden was in office. Also Biden may have signed the Chips act, but he never enforced it. Another thing Biden did was keep Trump's tariffs. As someone who studied economics, there's a difference between ideology and reality in practice when it comes to tariffs.

There are multiple factors that involves in tariffs working and failing. Why Trump makes it work is because he uses it as leverage for negotiations. Tariffs only work if you're able to make deals happen in which Biden didn't and let China walk all over the U.S. in those agreements.

You're also being nit-picky about Mexico paying for the wall. I'm the son of an immigrant who came to the U.S. legally. What's more expensive than Mexico paying for the wall is actually having open borders and American tax dollars paying subsidies for illegal immigrants when that money should be going to Americans who are struggling.

I'm pretty much anti-Israel currently, and don't agree with all of their policies, but you know Newsom's mismanaged the high-speed rail program which I support because California desperately needs alternative transportation. We can't continually keep expanding our freeways.

On a national level, you might say that republicans are not setting themselves up for success, but neither are the democrats. The democratic party needs a serious reform, and it's hard for that party to reform when they oust anyone who don't fall in line with them. Look at what they did to Tulsi or RFK. The democrats of the JFK generation, used to be anti-censorship, strong on freedom of speech, and anti-big corporation, but with Obama, he set race relations back. Another issue the democratic party has currently is they focus too hard on the cultural war instead of policies that affect everyday American lives.

Bernie and Elizabeth Warren are great examples of falling inline with the democratic party and accepting money from big pharma atm. They went back against their own policies and made millions. Another issue right now is that democrats need to work together with republicans on issues they agree with because the current admin does have some left-policies that they should be supporting and not bashing on. Addressing the sustainability of social security is a win for the American people. Addressing crime and our national debt is another win for the American people whether you are left or right.

On the Russia-Ukraine war, it's complicated, but at least there are dialogues that are happening which didn't with Biden. Another thing was Trump called out the Europeans. If they want the war to end, why is Europe supporting Russia by buying energy from Russia? It makes no sense.

Also all of the mainstream and fear-mongering MSM said tariffs would increase inflation were wrong. We're more than half a year later and it's been the same, and they said that the tariffs would go towards addressing our national debt which I agree on because if democrats tackled that issue, it wouldn't be a problem. Both sides needs to tackle that problem otherwise our kids would be paying for it.

I believe in the American dream and innovation. Newsom's put so much red-tape in California that makes it hard for small and big businesses to operate, and the ironic part is that most of those companies have moved over to red states. 10 counties in California flipped red because of Newsom. I really don't get how California legalized crime with stealing under $950 not being a felony. The catch and release and the closing of prisons in California as well as defunding the police is crazy. It's gotten pretty bad where in some areas, you actually see signs like in Newport Beach where law enforcement is looking to hire because there's such a shortage of patrol officers in the area. California currently has one of the highest homeless and unemployment rate. It was not like this in the 90s or 2000s.
