- And now we finally arrive at roughly present day with this series on American History. Donald Trump was president from 2017 to 2021, and was without a doubt the most polarizing figure to ever hold the office. Truly an outsider, the only president never to hold any political or military position, his term only widened the divide that had been festering for several decades. Where did he come from? How did he arrive at the presidency? What did he do while in office? Let's investigate a bit.

This video will be totally not controversial.
Mr beat!!! Huge fan
nothing controversial about objective fact!
@@wrongthinker843 What happened to Republicans who disagreed with Trump? They got ostracized.
@@vitalsteve1 Sadly it is an objective fact, that objective fact is not regarded highly by many in todays society, and as such objective fact, can indeed become very controversial
@@robwind8061 Rob. Multiple states recounted multiple times. It's this transparency that makes this election so secure. That Maricopa Audit? Didn't make a lick of difference, other than having pro-Trump politicians bloviate about theoretical security issues. FFS. Stop drinking the Trump Kool-Aide already.
I appreciate how you managed to separate "Unbiased" from "Not saying anything and acting like there isn't a correct answer for anything."
@@aidenaune7008 When someone has over 30,000 documented lies as the leader of my country, nobody has to bring bias to the table. My mind is already made up about him. He screeches out "fake news" when anyone dares to call him out, quote his own embarrassing words back to him, or points out what he has done wrong. He is such a small minded individual, he can never admit he fucks up. His insecurities won't let him. He was a shit business man and an even worse president. Good riddance.
@@aidenaune7008 While nothing is totally unbiased, he merely listed the facts of events, without giving left/right opinions. He stated successes Trump had, and failures trump had. Listed the chronology of his business life, and listed other events that are all verifiable. Without stating personal opinions on the subject.
@@robwind8061 12 times? Wow, sounds serious, who is that person?
@@robwind8061 So you're telling me in light of people who were caught attempting at vote fraud and those who were publicly accused of fraud on the media but late proven innocent you know it was a single person yet you don't know who because the data is anonymous?
Sounds like a made-up thing then.
@@robwind8061 a declaration? The video states: "despite clear evidence that the 2020 election was the most secure in history.."
I would imagine the "clear evidence" being spoken about is the statement from homeland security which read "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double-checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result"
Do you really think that discussing the existence of clear evidence is bias?
Now, you may not agree with laws that have been passed, but, if we are speaking about bias, or discussing objective facts, than the votes counted by any laws are, by definition, not fraudulent, so the statement stands.
Here's a hazmat suit
Now you can enter the comments section.
Thank u sir, cuz it's pretty toxic both in the left and the right

@@fuguthefish I'm remaining neutral on this video. I've got my opinions, but why add to a toxic soup, yknow?
@@protostargaming3972 wish more people would do that.
I was pretty deep into the comments before noticing yours. I'm now manifesting some peculiar topical boils, ulcers, and lesions. Is there some kind of salve I can apply in my unfortunate circumstance?
The happy music at the end was a bit jarring, and humorous, considering how fresh this all is in my head
It'll be more jarring when we look back at this video a few years from now as we actually start facing the consequences of the trump movement,
its normal to question elections now...
@@SA-pi3zm It's one thing to _question_ elections. It's another thing entirely to ignore the answers. Unfortunately, the latter is what's becoming normal among the conspiracy crowd.

Hard to believe that 'Universal Healthcare' is one of the things he ran on when he first went for the presidency in 2000.
Great video! Very informative. :D
He promised he would replace Obama Care with something better and cheaper... he kept on promising to reveal his health care plan... going so far as to say he will reveal it once he's re-elected.
With so many "aliens" in the states, obesity, way to high sugar intake, medical drug intake etc it is impossible to make free healthcare work.
@@RogueSecret Funny how it works elsewhere in advanced countries that are poorer than the USA per capita. Obesity and drug addiction is not special to the USA so I don't think that makes the difference. It's an attitude thing.
@@marklawes1859 Those people don't have to worry about having beefy armies because they have us to rely on.
@@lainiwakura1776 That's not it though. Experts have advised that a universal healthcare system would be cheaper in the long run than your current system of health insurance. The USA can afford it but chooses not to. A proper universal healthcare system would actually be good for the productivity of the USA because more people would be fit for work never mind the moral issues. By the way it would not be a 'free' healthcare system it would be paid for by sharing the cost across all citizens. Just free at the point of delivery.
Going through the entire playlist from start to finish has really given me perspective. While from our perspective the modern times may seem much more turbulent than the past, going through the presidencies, adressing each one with the same, admittadely short format, shows both how the political game has evolved from the days of nobility and imperialism to the days of corporate oligarchies, as well as how similar it remained throughout, with divisions, personal conflicts and temperaments all coming together to influence the political landscape.
I apreciate the work you've put into this, and await the next episode 3 years from now.
I appreciate that you just summarized the positives and negatives, regardless of whether people agree or disagree with aspects. The comment section is really funny. The fan club is out in full force.
I would argue he included some negatives without context there were in error, that said I'm curious to see if any corrections get made. I agree the divide got worse and he was a butt hole, but to be fair, things were better under him than obama...
@@75ur15 things may have been better for you but not for the vast majority of people. Also the same amount of context was provided for "positives" and "negatives". There was no emphasis on anything. You being triggered by perceived slights is on you.
@@GameTimeWhy define what was worse for anyone? Also, how is discussing the ideas and thoughts on our government mean that I'm triggered?
@@GameTimeWhy side bar, the negatives, he said, x number of times fact checkers said false, this number is likely true, but then goes on to use that number as if the fact checkers were always right....common sense says that if you read the check or watch the news they are not (koi fish killing in japan was my favorite) also when talking about agreements left he includes only the downsides not the reasons he backed out of them and any good that came of it......soo yes, lack of context, I will grant you that full and fair context is almost impossible and this video dod do better than most.
@@75ur15 you define what was better for anyone as you made the claim trump was better for everyone than Obama.
It's always struck me how people say that they 'love' Trump. There's been a few politicians I've supported, some strongly supported. I'd actually say that I liked a (very) few. The word love has never entered into my mind, it represents an emotional connection. Emotion forms the basis of support for most Trumpies. Emotion is irrational, unreasoning. I think that gives real insight into the Trump phenomenon.
It's always struck me how people say that they 'hate' Trump...
I use the word support. All politicians are scumbags don’t treat them as idols.
I do not like Trump as a man or a presidential figure, but it was a clear path forward that Biden has not only stalled but reversed. Without Covid we would _still_ be worse off than the past four years. Unless you sit alone in your basement all day.
@@ddaman7854 really? That seems confusing to you?
@Joseph Murray you just unwittingly called love irrational and unreasoning. So by your logic no one should marry ever, because it would be irrational and unreasoning. This is why you do not associate love with emotions as much as the populous will tell you, that's what love is. Love is an action, it is wanting the very best for someone. It is not simply an emotion which you so adroitly pointed out, is not with reason or rationale.
I wouldn't say he's the most polarizing figure to hold office, because that includes Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson and Lyndon Johnson

@@dabfg9961 I think neither Trump (though he is a strong personality) nor Biden (though he is more mild) are exclusively to be credited for their polarizing effect. I think the media in the first instance and the DNC policies in the second instance are as much to blame.
George Bush Jr also exists. People are quick to forget even recent history. Trump was just another conservative, the only real difference is he said the quiet parts out loud.
@@johnsprague960 Not just the media, but Social Media is a massive factor because 24 hour news has been here for over a decade, but Social Media algorithms pushed hard into bubbles on all platforms to include CZcams. They still do, it creates some bubbles filled with nothing but ignorant ideas with no debate. There is nothing good that comes from forcing people into bubbles with nothing but like minds. It breeds ignorance and allows hatred to fester and grow. Hence why Anti-Vaccination/Flat Earth/Qanon(on both sides) has exploded in direct opposition to all facts and logic.
You forgot about his full page spread about the Central Park 5
AFTER the DNA evidence exonerated them. Even then he was ignoring facts to push his bullshit.
@@CarbonTech19 They all still participated. Just because you don't actually rape someone, but hold them down while it's happening doesn't make you innocent.
@@CarbonTech19 Legally yes, but if you listen to the testimonies of the Five, they were there at the scene and some of them hurt the victim. What really happened was that a large group of young people went to the park to beat people up and rob, and gangraped the jogger. After this, Reyes (the man who's DNA evidence was found) also raped her and using a rock, nearly killed her. Later, Reyes said he was the only one who did it to avoid prison violence from some of the Five and to boost his ego. To me, this was one of the few things Trump was right about. Also, at the time he released the spread, the jogger was in critical condition, and Trump was for the death penalty of murderers, not rapists (I am not in favor of the death penalty)
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 ,
That testimony was later thrown out because it was internally inconsistent _and!_ wasn't consistent with EVIDENCE from the crime scene.
They had nothing to do with the crime. _Nothing._
Saying they were guilty of it when all points of evidence show to the contrary is RACISM.
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 Trump called for the death penalty. FFS, show some personal integrity and admit Trump was wrong.

Thank you so much for not having audio clips in these videos, Dave.
I'd say this was pretty fair take.
One thing little thing. Isn't Biden now the oldest president to be elected for a first term.
Yes, but he was talking from the perspective of the past, so he was correct.
Absolutely he is. And it shows.

I sincerely appreciated this work done with the whole series.
As an average non american history student my knowledge is around Washington, Lincoln, Kennedy, Nixon and Bush. With some general knowledge about war on independence, manifesting destiny, world wars and cold war.
This series put all those pieces of history to a chronological order and filling gaps between the major points.
Thank you professor
Even as an American I appreciate Dan take, he hasn't lived it for the inside point of view so there's that but he remarkably cut close to center and nothing was outright wrong that I picked up on, now I wonder from the other side of the pond what his Boris Johnson take would be 🤔
Just FYI the phrase is "Manifest Destiny" not manifesting destiny.
the sooner you block this clown trump out of your memory the better i reckon. for everybody
@@jb888888888 English probably isn’t his first language and “Manafest thing“ destiny and manifest destiny is pretty much the same thing just the syntax is sketchy. At the end of the day, it is terminology used to justify the case of expanding westward even at the cost of tribal warfare with the natives. Basically, the ends justify the means.
Which Bush?
*Correction*
This video states that Trump's tax cuts resulted in tax cuts for everyone, but mostly for the rich. Actually the tax cuts for middle class Americans were ONLY TEMPORARY, ending after two years, while the tax cuts for the rich and big corporations WERE PERMANENT
The craziest thing to me is how little his supporters seem to actually know about him. I worked with a guy recently who consumes right wing political media constantly and he had no idea who Stormy Daniels was.
I find it crazier that even after showing them proof of shady stuff they just ignore it completely or call "fake news".
@@GameTimeWhy the problem is finding the real bad things he did (many and plenty) amongst the literal fake news they kept spewing....he gave them enough ammunition if they had been honest they had plenty to work with, bit they used that amd 5x as much bs to male it seem worse......
Well, do you know anything about Joe Biden or Kamala Harris?
@@75ur15 how is that a problem? You can just watch and read things he literally said and did straight from the horse's ass. Don't let anyone filter your information. Go straight to the source.
@@mejestic124 besides not liking her policies and what she has done over the years, inhavent checked into Kamala harris.....for biden...besides being a little slow and stuttery; yes
Accusations of assault and sx assault by women, swept under the rug, me too only matters to democrats when it helps them politically or at least doesn't hurt them.....
Several videos of interactions where he seems to be sniffing girls, and showing some of them who notice as uncomfortable
A video of him bragging he got a person fired in another country by withholding us aid........whether that was in his authority as vice president is question 1, if it was, is it true the guy was investigating either his son, or the business his son worked at; and if true was he getting money from a joint account with his son?
For the last one, assume it was within his authority; even if he had valid reasons, if his son or the company hsi son worked for was bring investigated (not certain; would need proof) then at the very least that is a conflict of interest; if he knew and did it anyway it may also be corruption but again, there are ifs
Dave, I have no idea if you will read this but - Thank you. Just, thank you. I don't understand how you can find the time to put all these people in their place and continue to create videos, explain things so well, and just do what you do.

One thing that needs to be pointed out when telling people that Trump graduated from the Wharton Business school is that he received a Bachelor's from the school, not the esteemed MBA that people who typically tell you that they "went to Wharton" are trying to impress you with when they say that.

This video could have been much longer by adding more about Trump's background. How many times he has been a registered Democrat and the fact that he donated the most money to the Democratic party after becoming a Republican. He also flip flops on gun ownership rights, even stating while president to "..take the guns first, due process second...".

@@luissemedo3597 no it’s just facts. It’s not saying he’s good or bad. He did both
Eh, tbf I wouldn't even consider many of those things as pros on Trump's part.
First Step Act passed unanimously in the Senate it's first go around, a large enough margin in the house where a voice vote was enough, then for amendments with large enough majorities in both that even had Trump not signed it, they had the numbers to say "screw you, veto overridden".
Hell, Trump was even initially against it. Scarily enough Kushner had more to do with getting people on board with it than Trump did. And many of Trump's "accomplishments" are along those sorts of lines. Bills that were too popular for him to block and him being made to come around to them, only to then pass to an extent that frankly Congress at the time pretty much deserves far more credit. Hell, I'd only go so far as to say the only credit he deserves is not engaging in his usual loud rabble-raising lying to force more Republicans against it and that's a pretty damn low bar.
@@datboy038 yea i wouldnt say he did a lot of good. Siging that one bill that did jack shit in order to distract from his incomptence on the corona virus pandemic is hardly good..
This is what he really did for criminal justice reform-
"Trump’s administration has subsequently ended investigations into local and state police departments accused of misconduct, arguing that cops shouldn’t be shackled by the federal government. It has encouraged federal prosecutors to pursue the harshest possible sentences, including more punitive punishments for lower-level offenses and the death penalty for drug crimes. And it has restarted federal executions." -Vox

@@robwind8061 I'm not saying it was the most secure election, but I don't think they had super accurate ways of determining security in some of our many other elections through our history. This was also a very different election than most of the previous ones with all the Corona things complicating it. I'm on the left, I'd love to believe it was the most secure, but it seems really difficult to know.
Just out of curiosity, which election was the most secure?
@@robwind8061 yeah I was just wondering, you said this was not the most secure election, it kinda implied you new specifically an election that was demonstrably more secure.
I'm pretty familiar with the Arizona audit, the few cases they claim to have found involving people voting more than once have not yet been substantiated. Even if they are demonstrated, they wouldn't be enough to be to make the 2020 election statistically anomalous to any other modern American election that I'm aware of. They wouldn't even be enough to refute the claim they made that this was "the most secure election in American history" lol. But of course, they certainly could be true, and there certainly could still be more they didn't find.
I appreciate the free and open discourse my friend.
To be fair, while it is proven there was fraud this election, that can be said for any election we have good records for. I think the problem is the REFUSAL to investigate. Let them investigate their hearts out (they did it to Trump and found nothing for russiagate).if nothing is found then we can bring people together and say hey, you lost, deal with it. It isn't just silencing different opinions, it is the one sided nature of the rules and the laws.....they are not being applied equally and unless they do, it is likely going to lead to civil war, hopefully after I'm long dead.
Just more example, there us MORE evidence Biden used his influence as vice president to stop an investigation into his son (and evidence has come forward to implicate him) than their was for Trump Russia. We do NOT have enough evidence to say he is guilty, nor enough to say he even had a conflict of interest, but there is more than enough that an investigation should have been done, it was not and media declared that it had and that no proof was found, lie.

And the same goes for every side, every politician has some hard fanatics. Trump just decided to actually use them.

Great video!
Awesome recap...Thx Dave
Appreciate the video! I didn't know some of his earlier history, but this helped me know a little more about the guy and maybe see more of what led him down the path he did.
How did he almost die of covid when he was never hospitalized or on a vrntalator?

@@richardbeckmann6720 He received antibodies from people who previously had covid, if he didn't he would've absolutely kicked the bucket.
8:39 - It's not the 'War on Terrorism', but rather the 'War on Terror'.
At first this might seem like a nitpick, but it's actually an important distinction. Terrorism is an activity, while terror is an idea - a notion - and a vague one at that.
True. We need a war on terror right now, because that is all most news is now, fear mongering one side against another.
So if you dare to have the idea that the currently powerful are wrong, that makes you a terrorist. It’s DOJ and DHS policy now. Disagreeing with school board policy qualifies FBI attention! (Seriously?!!) The likelihood this reality ends well is pretty small. Do we blame Trump for that, too? If he hadn’t driven the left and the political establishment nuts, it would not have happened. Or maybe it would have just been more subtle in implementation. Trump definitely ain’t that.
Fwiw, I unplugged from all news media around 2-3 years ago. I also quit voting. It had gotten to the point where I could no longer see any benefit whatsoever - it was just making me depressed and angry.
It was one of the kindest, most sensible things I've ever done for myself.

One minor criticism, the TTP was universally seen as an apocalyptic trade deal for the working class, you kinda stuck the accidental good thing he did with some of the worst shit in his presidency, it should have been more separated so nobody thinks the TTP was a good thing and that we should bring it back, it literally gives multinational corporations the right to arbitration in their own "courts" over the courts of the countries these decisions would affect, rendering sovereignty on trade issues obsolete
Yeah, the one thing were is nationalism and racism was accidentally a good thing for the rest of us.
Sorry but this is utter nonsense. This is what happens a massive and technical trade document gets churned through the political meat grinder.
It did not introduce new corporate courts that override entire countries, as you and other ill-informed reactionaries claim. It expanded the **existing** Investor-state Dispute Settlement (ISDS) to cover the terms of the TPP. This has a process that has existed for over 60 years and is used for hundreds of other treaties with the same conditions. The US has never once lost a case under treaties like NAFTA with this system. It is widely successful as a means of enforcing international law. Both the investor and the state must come to an agreement under the ISDS, and the state gets to **pick a judge**. The state wins the majority of ISDS claims, and a claim can only be pushed forward if an investor can prove a country breached a trade agreement and caused lost profits. Entirely reasonable.
The TPP has been widely praised by virtually every economic institution. It removed global tariffs (which do nothing good for the economy), and introduced labor standards that banned child/forced labor, required minimum compensation, banned workplace discrimination, gave unionization rights, workplace safety rights and allowed trade sanctions for violating labor rights. This is huge because the US GSP program has proven that labor standards can indeed be properly enforced in trade deals. It also includes a huge range of environmental and biodiversity protections.
There is a reason almost every advanced economy was rushing to get on board, it was the path forward to distancing the global economy from China and moving to freer global trade with the greatest labor protections in history. Instead Trump bailed, the program became less effective (Though still successful for participating countries) and now China got to negotiate the RCEP and set the terms instead of the US.
@@battleoftheadds It's not an all around amazing thing, no. It'd be good for companies, I'm sure. Probably even for the economy at large.
But I can't see how removing tariffs and financial regulations would benefit low income workers. Cheaper goods at the expense of employment conditions is what they have gotten out of the predecessors of TTP. It's obvious why a good part of the public is skeptical about these deals, and why they'd be willing to go as far as voting on someone like Trump to stop them.
@@sangwaraumo "It's obvious why a good part of the public is skeptical about these deals, and why they'd be willing to go as far as voting on someone like Trump to stop them."
The same portion of the public that would rather take the risk of using a horse de-wormer with unknown repercussions than a purpose-built vaccine? The part that will use Himalayan salt lamps to introduce negative ions to the air to improve health, even though Himalayan salt lamps do not produce negative ions and no clear link between negative ions and health have been established? The same portion that thinks the earth is flat? The earth is only 6,000 years old? That any government would hide aliens from the general public? Do I dare go on?
The fact that something is too complex for the general public to understand does not mean it isn't beneficial, as the general public seems to understand very little.
@@CodenameNewby You make some good points.
Why are people looking for alternative medicine? Some people are just dumb, of too deep into magic thinking. But regular medicine being implicated in huge scams (e.g. Purdue, the EpiPen dudes, etc.) doesn't help. Alternative medicine is no alternative, mind you, but the reason why some dumb people are picking dumb alternatives is because the businessmen in charge of actual medicine have lost so much credibility, by being greedy morons.
It's the same with flat earth, creationism, etc. Obviously there will always be a portion of the population that are just that dumb, but some people are drawn into these idiotic beliefs when they see government and companies plotting together to keep their life miserable while they rake in millions.
And in this particular case, it's a fact that wages have been not been keeping up with productivity or GDP. So can you guess why people seem to be giving less fucks about increasing those?
As President, Donald Trump got a few things right, but even a broken clock displays the correct time twice a day
@@nzbrotrev9028 I know you’re trying to dish Biden but, what you’re saying just doesn’t make sense
Great Video!
I remember Trump referring to mainstream media as fake news before he was elected. All of that extra coverage you mentioned him getting in the campaign days was negative from the beginning, but it backfired on them.
I would love to see his transcripts at Wharton. Considering he would sue the s*** out any of the schools if they made them public. That sounds like a guy who's really proud of his grades.
Why would you want to know?
Maybe because he brags about how smart he is…
@@steveschu when someone claims their qualifications, for the job of the most powerful man on earth, are smarts and business acumen, yet fights like a cornered animal to hide their school transcripts and taxes, something doesn't pass the smell test. Considering what a self aggrandizing braggart trump is, if these documents show him in a positive light, he would trot them out every chance he got. Like the senility test that he somehow equates with intelligence. He still hasn't shut up about that one. Considering that it's been over 2 years, that's pretty sad.
@@paulsteele8079 like how Joe bragged he had 3 degrees and graduated top of his law school class. Or how Obama never released his school transcripts. Do you hear the hypocrisy?

Although he's pretty filled in debt at that time, Trump's endeavor in creating a pro cycling event in the USA has put the country on the map in the professional cycling world. He only sponsored the event for 2 years, though, due to those looming debts, and in 1991 to 1996 the event (which was at that time called Tour de Trump) was then sponsored by DuPont. Yeah, that DuPont company known for their Teflon thing.
Also, it's also around the same time that Greg LeMond became a household name in professional cycling, so it's a really good chance that he took to make an event to fill the gap that Coors Classic left.
Great breakdown...ty

I was struggled to find a history documentary on modern politicians until you nailed it perfectly. Back then I was too afraid of misinformation from any directions whatsoever that I decided to wait until 2030's to safely read modern history so that I could find some objective documentary.
I miss when he was just the guy on reality TV telling his contestants: "You're fired!"
I laughed so hard when Denis Rodman was on that show.
Unfortunately, many people seem to believe that's enough to be true leader. XD kind of sad.
@@Rayzersword I'd argue against that. I believe it was NOT his Celeb influence alone (even though it definitely helped) that got him into office.

Just one correction, not everyone's taxes went down. Due to eliminating personnel exemptions and limiting deductions, there were people who ended up paying more in taxes.
For sure! That 10K cap on deductions cost us thousands.
@@stephenwatkins7592 indeed, same here.
Yeah, let's not forget that one of the ways ol' Fred Trump avoided paying taxes was by putting profits in his son's name.
I disagree with your characterization that the 1st presidential debate of 2020 was two people yelling over each other an equal amount with no discernible difference between either candidate's behaviour; but other than that, this was a fairly measured summary.
Ah you're leaving out so much great stuff! 😆😆😆👍
Progress with climate change rolled back several years thanks to this guy.

pfft
@@jamescooke7243 shifting blame solves nothing
@@jamescooke7243 Nobody said anything about not holding China and India accountable. But saying "but those guys need to do something too" is not an excuse to deny climate change and stifle what we could do
@@jamescooke7243 You're not wrong, but also not making an argument. Trumps sorry "what about china" excuse is self-defeating rhetoric. Of course nothing can be done about climate change if everybody refuses do anything until somebody else makes the first move (which will now be China instead of the US).
That's like choosing to live in a filthy room that gathers more and more cockroaches because other people didn't clean their own rooms first. The world doesn't have time for this bullshit
The United States could have easily led the world on climate change and was in a great position to do exactly that. Ironically if Trump agreed to the Paris agreement, it would have set a precedent for other nations to follow, including China. It's much easier to pressure China into doing their part when the rest of the world does.
Sadly Trump not only pulled out of agreements, but also actively blocked and silenced climate change research so he could continue ignoring the problem. I'm sorry but "china though" is not a good excuse for the enormous dent Trump placed in the progress that science was making

What Liberal Professors and Liberal Media Don’t Include: historic North Korea peace deal, border wall, improving relations with other countries, 10 years worth of funding to history black colleges, third president to donate his presidential salary, Eliminating terrorists and bad people.

Replacing/CHANGING NAFTA to bring back American jobs. When jobs were lost in pandemic he brought back 12 million jobs (making for great recovery) Making animal cruelty a CRIME.

I literally had the same thought watching this. I could definitely see this almost verbatim coming to history textbooks in the next ten to fifteen years.
@@babylucas232 He did some pretty great stuff, don't get me wrong. But I'm pretty sure this video was more focused on an abridgement of his presidency. Tbh I hoped he'd get a second term, but I live in Michigan, and the blatant corruption there was laughable. Gotta admit, this video is mostly fair to him. Wasn't perfect, wasn't terrible.
also, i'd like to mention that there was a alaskan oil rig project in the middle of indegenous territory, which was not agreed on by the people there. (they also had to pay taxes for it)
No taxation without representation
Was expecting this comments section to be a mess. I’m not disappointed.
*Correction*
Trump did NOT graduate from Wharton (the prestigious University of Pennsylvania business school)... He merely ATTENDED classes there for one year, then transferred back to a lesser school more appropriate for his limitations
Well this seems to conflict with all available information..... Source?
No matter where you are politically I would say Trump represents the difference being born into wealth or poverty makes. A lot more forgiveness for those born into wealth.
It's kind of funny that everyone who comments with the claim that the video is "biased" or "inaccurate" also fails to clarify specifically which talking points they felt were inaccurate, or provide any evidence to backup these claims.
My only issue is that when said in this dry manner, it removes the exhaustion of the constant barrage of lies, bigoted and inflammatory sentiments and policies, embarrassing stupidity, and just the overall long lasting harmful effect caused by this administration.
@@jamescooke7243 except nothing has been found. Even that Arizona sham audit by a company named by a child (cyber ninjas lol) with ZERO experience led by republicans found nothing. What happened to the "kraken"? I thought that pillow guy had all the evidence? What happened with Rudy? Are you not going to mention how 45 placed someone in charge of the post office that began destroying equipment used by USPS to sort through mail before the election? Didn't his AG even say the election was good? How come it's only in places 45 lost, but not where he won? If there was really wide spread voter fraud, wouldn't you also need to check the areas where 45 won? Or is it a fair election ONLY when a republican wins?
@@jamescooke7243 “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double-checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result,”.
Dave is literally quoting a statement issued by the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). These words are from Trump's own administration, not rhetoric from CNN.
"The election stopped counting halfway through". This is not true. There is no evidence to suggest it, it was debunked and deemed false. What is true is that votes take a long time to count. Mail in Ballots, which were much greater in number this election due to obvious reasons, are not received all at once and it takes like two weeks for all of them to be received and counted. They can't keep counting votes that they have not yet received. Polling suggested that Democratic voters were much more likely to vote by mail than Republican voters.
You say there are UK studies to suggest mail-in ballots can be easily manipulated? Okay, where can I find those studies? I'd like to see them.
Mail-in Ballots have been a trusted part of the electoral process for years. It has really only ever been made a concern to people this last election, because Trump decided to push that narrative with no evidence to back it up. There are security measures in place to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of each vote. There is even a ballot tracker tool online so you can confirm for yourself that the correct vote was received and counted
So yeah...everything you said is wrong or completely unsubstantiated. And, as expected, you provide no evidence to suggest otherwise. So who is really the one spewing biased rhetoric here?
Would be nice to get the sources for all this information
Wikipedia is the first result when I look up "where was Donald Trump born" and it says queens, New York
Forgive me for doubting someone unwilling to look up simple facts would bother to look into a curated list if sources.
Do you make videos about other presidents of other countries? It would be interesting if you made one about Bolsonaro, many people hate him, many people love hom and he is similar and a friend of Trump.
