feels great again. There are 11m fewer people working than in February. Barely more than one-third of pupils are attending school normally. Hunger and poverty have risen; the memories of a turbulent summer of protests and racial unrest are still raw. Official figures show 227,000 people dead due to covid-19; excess-mortality data suggest the true total is over 300,000. And both caseloads and hospitalisations are surging for a third time.
But on many issues he stood out as unorthodox, extreme or both—and in so doing captured voters’ imaginations in a way that his rivals did not. He pledged to deport all 11m undocumented immigrants in the country and build a wall on the border with Mexico. He derided the party’s foreign-policy and free-trade orthodoxies as failures, and held that trade deficits were purely a sign of weakness and poor negotiating—which, as the master of the deal, he could set right.
In some areas losing rules was beneficial; in few was it fundamental. In finance, for example, though some rules were streamlined, Dodd-Frank, the sweeping law passed after the Great Recession to rein in banks, was not thrown out . The exception was environmental regulation, which has been thoroughly savaged.
Other promises went unkept, most obviously and predictably the pledge on the debt. Rather than putting America on the path to eliminating its national debt in eight years, as he said he would, Mr Trump saw the budget deficit steadily increase over the first three years of his administration. The rise was not as marked as those seen in the first terms of Reagan and George W. Bush, but the starting point was higher.
No more propaganda. Thanks for the graphics, though
Watch 'Trump is a threat to the World Order? By Jeffrey Sachs' on YouTube
When only one side is disagreeing on what are “basic facts”, then you have bigger issues than partisanship. You have that side being delusional or willfully ignorant. And media has been complicit by elevating such as if they were equivalencies to be debated
the nation is so fractured to the point of brawling and hate Left VS right Blacks VS whites Whites VS muslims etc
Weirdly worded. How about Trump supporters don’t believe in facts. Fixed it for you. Stop with the both sides shit.
Well, when half the country watches Fox 'News,' how could it be otherwise?
Well if the media would do their fucking jobs! Journalists have lost all credibility and when Trump is elected another 4 years people are going to start tuning it out. I am going to laugh when there are layoffs for all these cuck fear peddlers.
I'm from Brazil, can some one help me? The economist is communist?
Love the Economist strong stand on some certain issues and their social/economic liberalism. I'm not surprised they don't support Trump. Speaking unselfishly, at the best case Biden should be the right POTUS because of his centrist views.
Haha norms. You weenies supported gulf war 1 and 2. Have been on board with the extinction of all life on earth so 100 dudes can make off with all the cash.

What is Trump like which American people are very clearly! Their eyes are very bright! But your eyes are blind!
Replying to He's imperfect but he's the bulwark against what Obama and the Left have done to America. No one else other than Trump can save them now. VoteTrump
Biased press, globalists, politically correct, leftists of all shades of red, all against Trump What a shame.
Fish don't complain about the rain.
You are so biased.
good luck
Ok
Only to lefties.

This liberal has learned and is learning to get along with Trump supporters. Yes, it takes a devoted effort, but our partisan divide must be bridged if we are to MAGA.
'Cannot agree on basic facts'? Don't you mean that the Republicans don't recognize facts? Let's not pretend that this is in any way equally done by the parties.
Uh peace in the middle east. He has been nominated for 4 noble peace awards. Not quite standard.
