>when the Country needed Americans to call out the corruption
Just for the record, Trump tried to get the attorney general of the Southern District of New York to drop the case against the mayor of New York, a Democrat, in exchange for the mayor to give ICE carte-blanche to do what it wants in the city. So illegal was the requested action that seven people including the acting attorney general resigned immediately in sequence. Mind you, the acting attorney general was appointed by Trump literally three weeks before her resignation. And the resignations only stopped because Bove threatened to fire everyone in the office (30 odd people) if someone didn't accept. If that wasn't enough, and since some on the thread mentioned Soviet propaganda, Homan the border czar trotskies out Eric Adams on Fox News and forces him to applaud what ICE is doing, and then Homan proceeds to tell Eric Adams on national television that if he backs out that he Homan will be in his office right away and "up his ass".
That level of corruption would be choreographed nicely to Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre."
If you want to read two bad-ass resignations by Republican attorney generals, read Sassoon's and Hagan Scotten's resignation letters.
You do realize that Trump increased the deficit almost twice as much as Biden did? (Trump: $8.3T, Biden: $4.6T) Anyone truly concerned about the deficit should have voted Democrat.
As for corruption, you realize that the 2nd largest donor to the Democratic party (SBF) is in jail now. OTOH, the largest donors to the Trump campaign were appointed to positions of power.

Why is that talking point, I mean statistic, not adjusted for the pandemic? I think I know why. Also deficit spending and govt spending continued to be high or increasing during 2022/2023 when inflation was taking off because the post covid economy was heating up, resulting in stubborn inflation that hurt the most vulnerable folks.
The majority did not vote for Trump. He only received 49.8 of the vote. Turnout was at 63.7%, so Trump received the votes of around 31% of all eligible voters.
