Trump lost more jobs in a single term than any President since Herbert Hoover and was the least popular President in the history of modern polling.

Then of course there are other measurable losses such as what our allies thought about the US President when Trump held the job versus when his immediate predecessor held it.
Trump's Presidency, when you look at it as a whole, is a story of loss.

Lost American jobs. Lost American lives. Widespread losses for the political party he took over. Losses for the image of America in the eyes of even our best friends in the world.
Now that Trump has left office, the State of our Union is ... improving.

To those of you who mention the pandemic as being an excuse for Trump's job losses (which addresses one of the like fifty points I made):

The pandemic caused many job losses (which Trump's reaction to it exacerbated). But his job record was never great.
For all those MAGA folks who don’t believe this, I invite you to look at the raw data yourself. You may be surprised because you believe people who lie to you. But it’s true.

Jobs data:
data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES…

Presidential approval:
news.gallup.com/interactives/1…
The GOP losses mentioned:
Any source that has the number of US Senators, US House members, Governors, State Senators and State House members for each party and in each state, 2017 and now. Pick any of them. It’s all right there.

For those in the CPAC Universe, nothing will probably convince you that Trump lost the election (or that the moon landing wasn’t faked or that George Soros isn’t controlling the weather - but I digress).

But here is some attempted cult de-programming, anyway ...
#EarthToCPAC
More facts about the election. The election which Trump LOST.
#EarthToCPAC
Trump didn’t just lose AZ, GA, MI, PA and WI in 2020 after winning them in 2016. Trump’s entire PARTY got wiped out in these and other states in the four years Trump was in office.

In the last 30 years, there have been 8 US Presidential Elections.

The Democrats won 5 of them (and yet, somehow, our guns have not been taken away. The GOP promised they would be).

The Republicans won 3 of them. And in 2 of those 3, the Democratic candidate got more votes.
2020 - Biden got 7.05 million votes more than Trump.

2016 - Clinton got 2.87 million votes more than Trump but lost the election.

2012 - Obama got 4.98 million votes more than Romney.
2008 - Obama got 9.55 million votes more than McCain.

2004 - Bush got 3.01 million votes more than Kerry.

2000 - Gore got 0.54 million votes more than Bush but lost the election.

It doesn't do anybody any good for their elected officials to pretend to be conservative if they're also incompetent or, maybe even worse, have no interest in actually doing the job.
I have buddies who love certain politicians b/c they see them perform on Fox News giving rousing monologues about their supposed conservative vision for America. People born to talk paired with journalist hacks who won’t ask serious questions.

They don’t get why I’m not a fan.
I try to point out the following:

1) Talking isn’t leading. Being a good talker doesn’t mean that you know what you’re talking about. Commentary is not the same as competence.

Elections today are often ideological beauty contests. Not enough people ask “can they do the job?”

The argument that it is unconstitutional to impeach a former President is ridiculous.

First, the Constitution does not say that it is. What it does say is that the penalty for conviction can’t be more than removal from office and being barred from holding office again.
Secondly, even if it were true that there was a Statute of Limitations for impeachment that somehow ends when the President leaves office, Trump WAS impeached before he left office. The resulting trial is occurring after he left. But the impeachment (indictment) happened before.
An impeachment is akin to an indictment although one where the person being impeached, if convicted, will have penalties not worse than being removed from office and barred from holding office again. The Senate trial is like a trial that results from an indictment.

The election of 2020 as explained by a set of maps.

Map 1: Where Trump lost in 2020 after having won in 2016 (whole states only, not including Nebraska's Second Congressional District).
Map 2: Where Trump won in 2016 by a narrow margin (less than five points).
Map 3: Where Trump won in 2016 by the skin of his teeth (less than one point).

If you listen to the pundits, you’d think that the @HouseGOP did very well during the 2020 elections.

That’s not quite true.

Here’s what actually happened.
The only state in the country where the GOP had a net gain in House seats since Trump took office in 2017 is Minnesota. The party gained one seat there in 2020.
In the following states, the GOP gained seats in 2020 - but - only gained the same number of seats that it lost in 2018:

Florida
(Lost 2 seats in 2018, gained 2 seats in 2020)

Iowa
(Lost 2 seats in 2018, gained 2 seats in 2020)
