Trump should hit the reset button and start over. All tariffs should be removed except those protecting strategic industries. He should begin negotiating with countries he thinks has wronged the US before imposing tariffs on them.

Man in what kind of crazy fantasy world is there even a shred of hope that Trump would do something based on logic or reason. The man is a child set lose in a sandbox with a shovel knocking over all the castles because it gets him the attention he desperately craves.

Trump is a clown and a puppet. He takes his orders from Russia and Russia wants the USA to destroy itself from the inside.

You lost.

He doesn't take orders from Russia, but he doesn't seem to realize the ramifications of what he's doing.

Yep, and the voters should have chosen the intelligent candidate. Sometimes people do stupid things because they don’t understand simple things. So, they’ve no chance with complex things.

The Democrats should have removed senile Biden earlier. The result was that there was no time for Democrats to choose a candidate. Kamala Harris was chosen without having to compete with other candidates.

What the hell kind of Joe Rogan bullshit is primarying your own incumbent?

You know what happens when you switch leaders like they did? Guaranteed loss. It's a trend, and it's 100% so far. Running a primary would be even worse; the gop's wet dream. Political suicide.

The Veep was the only choice. I'm sorry people couldn't get behind Harris and needed to choose her exact opposite, and if it's not the character, intellect, background or achievement differences, it was some other .. difference.

You decide what marked difference between her and Trump made an elitist scumbag the better candidate, on any metric possible.

Democratic leaders such as Obama should have urged Biden not to run. If he refused, they should have encouraged other candidates to run against him during the Democratic convention. Harris said that she would not have done anything different than Biden. This was stupid since the strategy of Republicans was to associate her with Biden.

Delusional.

Trump should choke to death.
