The recent election by plurality, not majority, of Donald Trump to a second term is indeed a reality, albeit a sad one. It boggles the mind that people such a recent letter writer could feel that the Biden-Harris administration “has plunged our nation into chaos” [“Wants more of Trump's America,” Recorder, Dec. 11]. If the writer would get off the internet and Fox News and instead use reliable sources of factual information, he would know that serious crimes are down by double digits everywhere, over the last four years Biden-Harris has created over 16 million new jobs, has tamed raging inflation caused by Trump‘s failure to deal with the pandemic that killed 1.2 million Americans, has brought inflation down to just over the feds target of 2%, has restored manufacturing jobs to states all over the country, has good relations with our allies, and has not relied on a clown car full of appointees to important positions.

While the economy may not be robust for 100% of working Americans, it is the envy of the world, with unemployment hovering around 4%, the lowest in many many years, and an amazingly strong job creation record as recently as last week. We now can look forward to true chaos while Trump‘s deluded supporters do their dance. Stay tuned for cuts to veterans benefits, cuts to Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, increased prices because of Trump‘s bizarre assumption that tariffs cost the importing country rather than the American consumer. If Trump‘s voters believed his lies about being for the working person perhaps they can help me understand why his nominees to important positions are all billionaires. Maybe someday these folks will join us on earth rather than stay in whatever bizarre reality they are currently living in.
